quade 4 #51 May 10, 2013 Kennedy******State wants to bankrupt him and smear his name. The State Department...is probably reacting to arms treaties. Think about it. Horse shit. They're reacting to democrat politicians losing their minds. Pretty sure The State Department deals with international relations and treaties all day long. Arms treaties are a big one. If you want to go tin-foil, I guess that's your prerogative, but I doubt that's the right answer here since all that would need to happen is for some other country to call them up and tell them to enforce it. Lots of countries wouldn't like the idea of the "liberator" gun.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoink 321 #56 May 10, 2013 "US government orders removal of Defcad 3D-gun designs citing arms control laws" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22478310 See? Now THIS pisses me off. The CLEARLY stated intention of the designer all along has been to release the designs on the internet, and the government waits until AFTER the design is complete and released to ask tell him not to do it. Good job assholes! It's too late. Those files are copied, distributed and widely available now. You absolutely may as well not do anything - it's a pointless lip-service exercise to only highlights your own incompetence and inability to make decisions until it's too late..

Kennedy 0 #60 May 10, 2013 An interesting article, but according to the author, anything predating modern cartridges and repeating firearms doesn't count as a "gun". I disagree in the strongest terms. He wouldn't classify several guns I've fired as guns. He's trying to shoehorn in a distinction that doesn't exist. While zip guns and disguised guns and early smoothbores are not the same as modern commercial guns, it's doesn't make them un-guns.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #74 May 13, 2013 quade From the article: QuoteFirearms experts advised The Mail on Sunday not to test whether the weapon would fire due to safety and legal concerns. But the lapse in security will shock travellers. LOL "We did not attempt to smuggle the firing pin or bullet for safety and legal reasons, but small metal items could be easily concealed." So there really was no demonstrated lapse in security. Then again, anyone familiar with the results of TSA red tests where people carry functional metal guns through security (at success rates as high as 100%) already tell us that this fear of plastic guns is a bit on the hysterical side.
