My dad made one in his HS shop class back around 1950. Lots of teenage boys made them back in the day and it was relatively easy to do. You can make a one-shot zip gun with the tools most of us have at home and a $20 trip to the hardware store.

Yup. The only risk of plastic 3d guns IMO is people trying to get through metal detectors. And like I've said, the plans are already out there, so the bad guys already have access.
A big meh.

I MADE AN UNTRACEABLE AR-15 'GHOST GUN' IN MY OFFICE—AND IT WAS EASY

The three ways of making untraceable guns compared.

- The old fashioned drill press.
- 3D Printer
- The Ghost Gunner.

For less than two thousand bucks, any criminal can order their Ghost Gunner, no questioned asked, no names, only a verifiable shipping address, no serial numbers, no background checks of course. Finish off your AR 15 80% lower receivers with precision milling. Be "ready for combat" and make some for all your friends who can't get guns the usual ways.

The anti-gun crowd always cried about how many hundreds of these events happen, but they do sometimes get called out for manipulating data to try and push their agenda.

Asserting his right to be an anarchist under the First and Second Amendments

Blocked from giving away 3D-printed gun blueprints, Texas man says he's selling them instead (Texas Trib)
Austin "crypto-anarchist" Cody Wilson says buyers can name their price for 3D-printed gun blueprints.

An Austin resident and self-described “crypto-anarchist” said Tuesday he’ll begin selling blueprints that would allow users to 3D print their own plastic guns — a day after a federal judge extended a temporary block preventing him from making the plans available on the web for free.

In other words: If he can’t be the “Napster” of crypto-guns, he’ll be the “iTunes,” Wilson told reporters at a press conference Tuesday in Austin.

The decision could put Wilson, currently at the center of a slew of court disputes across the country, on shaky legal footing.

Wilson has argued in court that preventing him from publishing the blueprints infringes on his First Amendment rights. But Monday’s injunction said the potential harms to Wilson’s First Amendment rights “are dwarfed by the irreparable harms the States are likely to suffer” if he was permitted to post the blueprints for free. Nearly two dozen states that lined up against Wilson in court have said the untraceable plastic guns made using the blueprints would pose an enormous security risk.

the dude said some strange shit on social media.

at least he's no fan of Trump. you know the left was gearing up stories to blame Orange Man for this too.

his punishment should be serving out his sentence in an Israeli jail.

Couldn’t get into UCF on his merits, now going to Harvard. Interesting considering the pending lawsuit against Harvard making its way through federal court... I think it strengthens their argument that their admissions aren’t supposed to be “objective.”

Looks like the shooting of a little girl in Houston last week is about to be wrapped up. It made national news when someone fired into a car and wounded the mom and killed her 7-year-old daughter. The shooter was supposedly a white male in a red pickup that sped away, but authorities later determined that person was uninvolved. Tips led to the name of the driver involved who was arrested yesterday, confessed, and has named the shooter. They were targeting someone else and misidentified the car that the victims were in. Sad situation.

Cartel and gang violence in Mexico is being fueled now by fentanyl heading north and guns from the U.S. headed south.

As immigrants flow across US border, American guns go south (AP)
Excerpt:
A 2013 report by the University of San Diego says the number of firearms smuggled from the United States was so significant that nearly half of American gun dealers rely on that business to stay afloat. On average, an estimated 253,000 firearms each year are purchased in the United States expressly to be sent to Mexico, the report said, the vast majority of the sales originating in the border states of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, which do not have laws as strong as California's.

Once in Mexico, the weapons end up in the hands of drug cartels or get shipped to gangs in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador — countries that are dealing with an epidemic of gun violence.

AN INVISIBLE FENTANYL CRISIS IS EMERGING ON MEXICO'S NORTHERN BORDER (Pacific Standard)

There is other evidence, however, that fentanyl, which costs as little as 50 pesos ($2.62 U.S.) per dose, has taken over from black tar heroin here. When people register for syringe exchange programs, they're usually asked to list their drug of choice: Both Tijuana and Mexicali have seen a notable shift from black tar to polvo blanco, or "white powder" in these listings, harm reductionists say. Tests on syringes and cookers by harm reduction groups come back positive for fentanyl in all three border cities. And Prevencasa's doctors are now regularly called out to the street to treat overdoses.

Guns are illegal in Mexico with few exceptions. Per an ATF report that traced guns recovered in Mexico by Mexican police show that between 2012 and 2017, an average of 69 percent of the 99,654 Mexican-traced guns in the report were either manufactured in the US or imported into the US and then transported to Mexico, per the March 2018 document. The almost seventy per cent figure represents just those the Mexican police have recovered at crime scenes.

One example:
Feds say ex-U.S. military member from San Antonio was supplying Mexican cartel with guns


In eight months alone, Morris spent $122,225 to buy more than 170 firearms from just one licensed gun dealer in suburban Houston — 70 of them were AK-style rifles, 86 were AR-style, six .50-caliber rifles, and three pistols, the affidavit said. The rest were acquired from other licensed sellers in Victoria, Houston, Dallas and Las Vegas, according to the affidavit.

And Morris was just one supplier to the group. Its members went to gun shows, sporting goods stores and pawn shops in search of guns, ammo and other items for the cartel, the affidavit said.

Further investigation by Homeland Security and the ATF found that Soto’s group spent nearly $130,000 on more than 13,000 AR and AK-style ammunition magazines from an online gun supply store, CDNN Sports, the affidavit states. Ammunition sales are not subject to the same federal regulations as firearms, and in most states, bullets can be bought online or in person with zero oversight.

“This investigation has identified another $150,000 spent acquiring over 225 ‘AR’ and ‘AK’ style rifles, along with .50-caliber rifles, that are believed to have been smuggled through Laredo, Texas, into Mexico to arm a cartel,” the affidavit said.

A Dirty Ex-Cop-Turned-Gun Dealer Fueled Brutal Violence on the Mexico Border

Michael Fox, an ex-cop who became a licensed firearms dealer, admitted in a recent federal court case that he sold multiple .50 caliber rifles, thousands of rounds of ammunition and minigun parts to 28-year-old Tyler Carlson, who then transferred the weapons to an unnamed individual, who in turn smuggled the weapons into Mexico.

Details emerge in alleged scheme to smuggle machine guns to Mexico
(Douglas Dispatch)

Victor Hugo Bocanegra, his sister Kathia Victoria, and brother Victor Anthony were indicted Feb. 6 on charges of unlawful possession of unregistered firearms, smuggling firearms from the United States, and making false statements in connection to a firearm purchase. They were arrested near Sierra Vista on Jan. 9 as they prepared to take possession of five MK46 machine guns.

The indictment alleges Victor Hugo purchased a .50-caliber rifle and two M249 light machine guns in October and early November from a licensed Phoenix-area gun store. He is accused of falsifying ATF’s Federal Firearms Transaction Record (Form 4473) and arranging the exportation of the guns to Mexico in violation of federal law.

Over the next few weeks the Bocanegras, who reported no income last year, made a series of deposits totaling $32,000 toward the nearly $47,000 cost of the M249s. Then they were offered a chance to switch their orders to five MK46 machines guns, a variant of the M249 made by the same company.

As cheap to make Fentanyl is smuggled into the U.S. to fuel demand, the profits go to buying high-powered weapons and machine guns from Texas, Arizona and N.M. gun dealers to go to Mexico and Central America causing more refugee families to flee to the U.S.

If guns are the problem then why are they coming to the US? I'm told we have a gun problem other countries dont have? I will hang up and listen.

walls and better technology would help slow both the drugs coming in, and guns going out.

and it's not just drug money buying guns. it's also the billions the cartel make off of people trafficking. only walls, stopping bullshit asylum, and killing catch and release will stop people trafficking. but the Left has zero problem with the cartels bringing in peeps....

Appears to me that the Mexican government needs to build a wall of their own to keep the guns out!

Scary stuff in NZ overnight. Can't believe he streamed it live via SM.
Vid was gut punching. Guy was cold blooded like he was playing a video game.
The guy deserves to be tortured hourly for the rest of his life.
Prayers for the victims and families.

Every once in a while, one's humanity is tested by a person(s) whose heart has been so taken over by evil that he would kill others whom he doesn't know and in a place of worship, too - a mosque, a synagogue, a church - in South Carolina, Texas, N.Z., Pittsburgh - with an appeal to others who share his hate. Such disregard for life and for them as people as you say. You hope that there is some seed of love still left in him. Also, I'm always amazed at the forgiveness survivors and families can evidence.

I'm Old Testament when it comes to evil on this level. Not really worried about seeds of love when it comes to that guy.

It comes and goes... there are days i feel bad for the guy who murdered my niece... and pray forgiveness, then there are others where I still wish he had gotten the DP and that I look him dead in the eye while I pull f'n the switch.

Don't know your situation ACamp, but I can't see a lot of families watching this guy's stream in NZ and feeling bad for him. The laughing and commentary during the vid is just chilling. I hate that I watched the vid, but in ways it's a needed reality check on just how evil people can be.

Yeah, I haven't seen anything directly related to today but I get it.

I'm talking more to the just phases of grief in general. 'Feeling bad' may be the wrong phrase for it but I can't think of anything better currently, it's strange...
