3D printers - The War on Guns

What It All Boils Down To

‘Gun control is dead, and we killed it’: the growing threat of firearms that can be made at home [More]

SOMEONE WHO IS BAD COULD GET GUNS!!!!

Now show what it’s like when good people can’t get one.

What a useless piece of hysterical fear porn.

And if you have 44 minutes to waste (I didn’t and the first five were enough for me), here’s:

Mariana is on a mission to expose how ghost guns — untraceable firearms built from kits bought online — are fueling violence across the country. [Watch]

Do they still make Midol?

I’m Sorry Dave, I’m Afraid I Can’t Do That

3DPrinterOS, a cloud-based 3D printing management solutions company, has entered a collaboration with the MIX Lab at Montclair State University to develop an algorithm designed to identify 3D printed gun parts. This partnership aims to enhance safety and regulatory compliance. [More]

So… what? It will refuse to work…? It will report you…? It won’t open the pod bay doors…?

Commonsense Speech Safety Laws

Biden’s executive order targets modern manufacturing processes in ways that implicate the First Amendment. [More]

So if Democrats want to ban “misinformation” and now real information, what kind of information will still be “legal”?

The good thing is, the First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law…”

They’re not making it. The executive is!

Half Empty or Half Full?

America’s 3D Printed Gun Problem Is Getting Worse and Spreading to the World [More]

“Problem”…?

It’s easy to miss the last sentence buried under an ad:

There was no mention in Monaco’s speech of tackling the problem of the guns themselves which the MCDs modify.

I repeat my question.

Intercepting the Signal

DHS Official Confirms 3D Printer Owners Are On A ‘Watch List’ [More]

And that’re no doubt monitoring for purchases of specific materials. All with the requisite snitch complicity of the rope-selling capitalists at Amazon. PayPal, and eBay…

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
