Great day for conservatives as this brings them one step closer to the goal of no restriction on guns whatsoever.
The NRA is going to have to move fast, of course, to get their hands on this somehow so that their multi-billion dollar business model doesn't become obsolete.
and then soon, of course, we'll get conservatives and terrorists folks alike 3D-printing their own missile launchers to take down planes and cop cruisers.
I can't afford to buy a 3D printer. Can you?
But then, I have no use for a plastic gun, either.
the article says it was a .308 round that was fired. If it was, I bet that was the ONLY round fired, I doubt that a plastic barrel could stand the pressures of a .308 rifle round.
seems to me it is right up there with the "Zip-Guns" that have been built by various criminals since the 1940s, probably more dangerous to the shooter than to anybody in front of the shooter! Very likely just as inaccurate, too, with no rifling.
Much ado about not much of anything, at the present level of the technology!

I saw a documentary once where they show a man who lived in Afghanistan city. He had a little shop on a busy street with a fire pit, hammer and a little bit of stock steal. This guy could produce a perfectly firing replica AK 47 in half a day. The fact is you cant dis arm Americans with all the laws in the world
I feel the same way about abortion, you cant stop a woman from terminating a pregnancy if you wanted to. Some things just cant be legislated

I didn't see anything about a .308. The other video shows a handgun, probably shooting .38 special. Given the somewhat sloppy tolerances of 3D printing, it would be easier to headspace on a rimmed, revolver round than on a rimless auto one like a 9mm. I'm not sure what all the excitement is about. Anyone with a mill-drill machine (which costs less than a 3D printer) has been able to build real guns, not toys.
