...3D PRINTED DOGS!  Hell, yeah!!!
I can't find the pattern for that. Besides, only if it prints puppies. Can you imagine the cost of printing full grown English Mastiffs? (grin)

I'm not a good shot. Personally, I think before any home invaders get past our two English Mastiffs we keep inside because they are our other "kids," the police will have responded to our call and the operator will be on the phone asking us to put the dogs up so the officers can take an incident report. I will stipulate that the care and feeding of the "kids" is probably more expensive than handgun practice and maintenance. Hey! 3D printed dog food! hmm...(grin)
Why go half way. 

Don't be timid. 

It's ookay.

I just want a printer that can print more printers.

It's like having unlimited wishes, except you have to pay for the materials involved Tongue

Of course it only makes some of its own parts, but that is a start.

IMHO, the U.S. government is concerned that trying to "control" the distribution of 3D printers or plans is more of a 1rst amendment problem than a 2nd. They will do what they always do. Try to regulate the distribution of materials supplied in the 3D printer "ink cartridges."

Home made handguns are boring. They are not that much more effective than a knife or an axe. But handguns are only the beginning.

When people start to print armed helicopter drones, things are going to get interesting.

No way, that could never happen!

In a rare moment of sanity, DHS released a statement yesterday saying that it would be difficult to regulate 3d weapon printing or 3d printing in general.  I noticed that this news has not appeared on most "news" websites.  Use this search at Google and pick a website to see more: DHS cannot regulate 3d printing

Schumer....is that Italian?

Feinstein is I think....

It's Jewish.  They're Jews.  That's why all they ever do is oppose freedom, sell America out to foreigners and give tax money to banks and insurance companies.

Jews are behind gun control.

Wow.... no. Absolutely not. Schumer is likely German, Dutch, etc. And I would bet money Feinstein is German. And Jewish.

Seriously? Italian? You've got to be fucking kidding. Peroni... Albergati... Martinelli.. Bressan..Da Vinci.. Medici... Corleone.. that is what an Italian name sounds like

Actually, a large number of the parts can be replicated, then you buy some stuff that ought to be bought rather than made, and put one together. 

For example, highly polished stainless steel rods and brass sintered bearings ought to be bought, instead of inferior substitutes made.  The stepper motors, threaded rods, limit sensors, sd card reader, and the little computer are going to be bought, not made.  There isn't anything complicated about the plastic extruder style 3d printers.

In the words of The Pirate Bay, "Bring it."

Laws are just words on paper. Enforcement is a lot harder, and these things can build themselves.

What's all this about 3d printing pistols and small stuff.  Why not think big.  Like, really big.  The printer doesn't care.

Anyways, even if detection is more difficult (yes you have a point), the possession can still be made illegal.

Useless move of course, but then again most things they try to regulate are stupid laws difficult to implement

Except growing pot produces a noticeable heat signature, and sucks up a lot of juice. 3D printers are tiny, use very little power, and give off almost no heat, even in operation (certainly not enough to attract the attention of law enforcement).

3D printers produce a repetitive noise that you can probably pick up with a mike from the street (ever heard of radar detector detectors? They work by picking up the specific frequencies that leak from the detector). And unless you use PLA, the ABS stinks. And it gives me a headache so we run the machines with the windows open.
