Re: Hammers and guns and Jim and Michael

I've seen a few but from what I've read the current state of 'printed' lower receivers is they survive maybe half a dozen rounds before failure.

Zip guns are already rather easy to make but printing would certainly be even easier.

Next will be banning ammunition.

The problem for law abiding citizens is that defending yourself will instantly make you a criminal.

For many applications, that's more than enough.

Not hard to make, either.

...and there's the whole point of the exercise.

Instead of making you instantly dead.

I think what you mean is that if there is a ban certain "tools" won't be a legal option. But then for HD an AR type weapons wouldn't be my first weap on of choice.

Some of my stuff sat out the last ban, they can do it again.

The point is one shouldn't have to chose being a criminal to stay alive.

Who cares what your first choice would be. Does an ugly gun make one any deader?

Huh? "Sat out?". The NY ban includes *ALL* high capacity magazines, where "high capacity" is now defined as "greater than seven rounds", where it was "greater than ten" yesterday. Neither make definitions make any sense. ...but they don't have to. Leftists never do.

The criminal won't be around to report you.

Huh?? What are you trying to say? Trying to follow your logic.

Fact is, some weapons are better suited in certain situations.

What's your point?

legal option.

No, we were going beyond the current hysteria.

That might depend on where your home or business was and what kind of threat you faced.

It wouldn't be a 'personal' problem for me either but when you look at the numbers involved with what they want to 'ban' you have to wonder what the point is.

Pretty much the same in Texas too.

No, but the body is harder to dispose of than you might think.

I usually do have to slow down for lefties. An "assault weapon", according to the government, is measured by how ugly it is. A semi-automatic rifle is a semi-automatic rifle.

...and an ugly weapon has its place.

Maybe I'll try to slow down some more when I have time to explain what should be obvious to all.

That's easy; the first step down the slippery slope. JDC is all for it, since it doesn't affect him[*]. "First they came for..."

This article just appeared:

...with the idea of banning 3D printing of ammunition magazines.

(Just "skip ad" when you get to the link.)

I _knew_ someone would recognize what 3D printing means to this.

See this youtube video for the making of such a magazine:

That's certainly what some people worry about and the fact he will never mention anything but 'hunting', or some other 'recreational' use, doesn't help any either.

ugly weapon??? wtf are you talking about?

obviously, more than likely you don't appreciate or own any of these weapons.

you sound like a raving loon ... more than likely just an old dried up bastard with nothing better to do than bitch about a subject you know nothing about.

i doubt that you could explain anything given a million years.

In my eyes, you're defending freedom. My hat's off to you sir.

I mentioned my area reports defensive uses routinely. Lo, we just another heard in the news--yet another someone in my neck of the woods just used a gun defensively to save his life.

If you're in trouble (esp. in a remote area), when seconds count the police are just minutes away.
