  1. He's Right, it actually is In many cases easier, cheaper, and faster to just go buy a 'factory' gun than print and build one.

  2. The gun, for legal purposes, is the frame only, the REGULATED part. It's the only part you cannot freely buy over the counter with zero regulation. Why would you print parts you don't need to? If I need a new tire for my car, I don't have to go invent rubber and the concept of the wheel, you just buy one.

  3. Taylor Hense You are statistically, factually more likely to die at the hands of police currently in the US than at the hands of any criminal. 2012 was the highest year on record for civilian deaths at the hands of police, while also being the safest year for police since record keeping began in the late 1800s, so they can't justify such force by saying they're in more danger. 'Police officer' isn't even near the top 10 of most dangerous professions. Think about this: with there being 50 THOUSAND+ SWAT raids a year in this country, that's one raid every 10.5 minutes all year long. In the time it takes you to shower, there is a high statistical likelihood someone just as innocent as you having their door C4'd off the hinges and their Labrador shot while they're in the shower during a swat raid, which could have been caused by something so simple as reading a single number on a page wrong. Take the recent example where they had the wrong house and flashbanged a baby in it's crib and literally blew it's face off. All for drug possession? Dafuq ever happened to knocking and serving a warrant? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/30/swat-team-grenade-toddler_n_5418871.html

  4. "people its not is bad as you think it is all they do is arrest you for a few hour then let you go when the relize nothings going on is it really that bad" I used to have a Saudi Arabian roommate, and one day I asked him "can you really get in trouble for asking a girl out on the street?" and he says "No, no! That's blown out of proportion by the western media. You get caught asking a girl out you just get picked up by the police in a van, they handcuff you, put a bag over your head, and you only spend like a week in jail. You don't even have to see a judge, so no, you don't really get in trouble". So yes, there ARE people conditioned to think that being restrained for any period of time without being charged with anything is perfectly ok. They're called SLAVES and I'd hoped they'd been eradicated from the US...

  5. spoony smalls Usually it's the SF reject coming through the door in fake fatigues but real submachineguns.... Ponder this, when did they switch from being 'Peace officers' to 'Law enforcement'? It's a pretty im-fucking-portant change in meaning.

  6. "What if a group of people held a school up with guns and bombs and mines" Seeing as NO swat team in the US is capable of dealing with such high-order threats, they would follow established protocol by standing down the local yokel swat team and bring in the FBI/ATF pros...

  7. I mean, Glocks are already plastic framed guns, the plastic coming from a different source and/or method means nothing. The literal only difference is the 3d print is additive manufacturing and the factory frame is injection molded. Glock started as a company making plastic curtain rods. The same equipment for that was just pivoted to make guns

  8. Exactly, the guns for cartel turf wars and government take overs are obviously Polymer80 80% lowers lol. We all know THAT

  9.  @SavageGerbil  I will say that when I built [redacted] P80 g17s in a few hours, I thought "Wow, Gangs would be idiots if they didn't have members in a room training and building these all day everyday. You can make a crate full of great working handguns in a day."

  10.  @whiskeybravo91  you're right, it takes TWO days to download a file and just start printing guns, like many I know have. That second day is because a good FMDA frame on an Ender 3 takes about 24 hours :) Next you'll be saying someone can't build a P80 g17 in 20 minutes lolololol

  11.  @whiskeybravo91  WB go look at Print Shoot Repeat on YouTube, which you would already be watching since you're 'in the community'. There are people who print dozens at a time and just keep the reliable ones. People are printing HK91s and MP5s and ARs that are still thousands of rounds in on camera with no issues or wear. Some break first shot. Factory guns have the advantage of CENTURIES of refinement that 3d printing guns have maybe a decade of, and in that decade we went from the liberator that lasted one shot to being able to build a Glock reproduction that takes all factory parts for pennies.

  12. Our infrastructure is crumbling, better spend trillions paying people NOT to work out of fear they get a 99.8% survivable cold virus...

  13. Incorrect. Whatever part has the serial number is the firearm for legal purposes. For an AR as example, the actual firearm, the serialized receiver, is maybe 10% of the overall firearm. The other 90% is easily available over the counter with zero restrictions, a child can buy it, and they do.

  14. Uses identical parts to a factory firearm. You could take a FDMA Glock frame, take the entire slide assembly off a factory Glock of the same model, works no different.

  15. "They used military tactics like stacking, caching weapons, and saying hold the line..." Congrats, they're as sophisticated as 18th Century guerilla fighters lol, be afraid. They have common sense, they're unstoppable!
