Are 3d printed guns even a problem? This whole thing is just a way to destroy peoples ability to do anything on their own, or repair anything.
No. It’s made up nonsense, like 99% of justifications for gun laws. The people writing the laws are rarely actually knowledgeable on the subject they’re writing legislation for.
3D printing working, safe-to-handle and durable guns is a pretty complicated technical problem. Don’t need to be a genius to figure out that making 100% plastic guns is asking for trouble. Tiny explosion = big plastic cracky.
Meanwhile, any monkey can bash together pieces of scrap metal and produce a durable gun that way. And that was a thing long, long before 3D printers existed.
3d printed guns aren’t 100% plastic. In fact the only part that’s printed is the only part actually considered a firearm in the US, the receiver. You know, that gun shaped object that Glock themselves make out of plastic. All other parts, barrel, slide, magazine, springs, trigger, etc are all purchased without any controls or background checks and then assembled into a firearm on the 3d printed receiver.
They work amazingly well for what they are and they hold up for many many rounds.
Arnt they more worried about the all plastic guns that can fire once and get through detectors?
Not nearly as much of a problem as real guns that’s for goddamn sure.
Someone played Watch Dogs and got a-scared.
