That was quick. Washington State's Attorney General, Bob Ferguson, who is always happy to sue the tRUmp administration, just filed this suit yesterday. He's got a pretty good batting average against tRUmp.

My guess is that anyone with the technical expertise to build a functional 3-D gun and wants to build one probably already has access to the designs through the dark web. All this does is increase the chance of dimwits turning their hand into a Jason Pierre-Paul meatball claw when the thing blows up in their face.

Do people need technical expertise for this?? I'm under the impression that they do not at all, and that's why the "blueprints" are so dangerous. They just need to know how to use a 3D printer and follow instructions well, no?

Are people scared?? I'm getting the impression that they are simply concerned about the potential problems this could cause in the context of illegal weapons, which is completely reasonable. What truly amazed me is how so many people are scared about having their guns taken away from them and how concerned so many people are about the preservation of the white race. Shocking.

Have you seen the pro-gun crowd? The only thing lower than collective IQ is the total number of teeth.
so anything that makes it easy for these idiots to have a device designed to kill and that can avoid detection is a concern of mine. Cause it means they have to think less. The good news is these idiots don’t make enough to buy a 3d printer....but if they get together and put their $ together, we all have a lot to worry about.
After every campus rampage, there is heated debate about how to curb the violence. But if kids did not have access to guns, a Post analysis found, two-thirds of school shootings since Columbine could not have happened. In Kentucky, where a teen is accused of killing two classmates with a gun from home, a prosecutor is weighing his own approach: “I’m seriously thinking about going after the stepfather.”

‘The gun’s not in the closet’
Since 1999, children have committed at least 145 school shootings. Among the 105 cases in which the weapon’s source was identified, 80 percent were taken from the child’s home or those of relatives or friends.
Yet The Washington Post found that just four adults have been convicted for failing to lock up the guns used.
Now, after a deadly school shooting in Kentucky, a prosecutor must decide: Should the parent who owned the weapon be charged?
Since 1999, the shooters in at least 145 acts of gun violence at primary and secondary schools have been under the age of 18, according to an analysis by The Washington Post. Discussions about how to curb shootings at American schools have centered on arming teachers or improving mental health treatment, banning military-style rifles or strengthening background checks. But if kids as young as 6 did not have access to guns, The Post’s findings show, two-thirds of school shootings over the past two decades could not have happened.
While investigators don’t always determine — or publicly reveal — the weapons’ origins, The Post found 105 cases in which the source was identified. Of those, the guns were taken from a child’s home or those of relatives or friends 84 times. The Post discovered just four instances when the adult owners of the weapons were criminally punished because they failed to lock them up.
Only 14 states and the District have approved such laws, according to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, but even those statutes, researchers say, are often not enforced, are too limited or carry weak penalties, rendering them ineffective.
The issue drew national attention in May after a 17-year-old in Santa Fe, Texas, was accused of killing 10 people at his school with a handgun and a shotgun that belonged to his dad. Although the state has a negligent-storage law, the father could not be charged under it because Texas defines a child as 16 or younger.

Yes. If a gun owner is negligent in handling or storage and that negligence results in injury or death, they should be held liable criminally and not just civilly. Knowing that you might face a hefty prison term if your child or other family member misused your gun might cause a shift with some of those who so far feel free to leave loaded weapons around.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
For when you want to shoot the alligator lurking by your ball on the edge ot the water hazard or to blast the ball out of the sky as its about to land on the green. Or maybe to encourage swifter play? Or keep people from hitting up on you?

I like the blasting the gator ...
Maybe to shoot your opponents ball...

Lol, no, but I think most of us who still have clear minds have become experts in identifying ridiculous false equivalencies, lol. Practice makes perfect!

Aw, shoot, you're all correct...
I don't really understand what the point of this one is.... To show everyone how dumb some gun rights nuts are when it comes to the topic of technological advancement??

What about my posted response is incorrect? Or would lead you to believe that I'm a gun expert or conversely, don't possess a minimum understanding of the issue?
A one shot shooter is the only type of 3D printed gun? Another stupid false analogy meme posted. Yet again.
Lol, and a good portion of people trying to print them on cheap 3D printers are probably going to lose their hands soon afterwards.
Yeah, another good reason for people to worry about it, and for it to be illegal.
What, the sharing of blueprint information? I agree that people should not be printing them due to the risks of, but how do you restrict the sharing of information online without implications regarding the 1st Amendment, or does the 1st Ammendment not protect online sharing of information? I think it is going to be complicated to get this all blocked.

No, as I've said a few times already, the actual printing of the things should be illegal, and that is why I also suggested that 3D printers should be built so that they cannot print guns at all - I feel that some kind of software could be created to achieve that. As for free sharing of info.... of course that's very important... there are limits obviously. Sharing child porn or snuff films is illegal for example. Or classified information. The freedom to share info isn't a blanket concept that includes literally all info. However, if bomb making instructions are legal, then I would think gun blueprints would have to be too.... Although I don't know the legality of that when it comes to essentially programming computers to do things ... maybe there is no law for that yet, which is why this issue is important to consider carefully.
