What the fuck? You dont even need that for buying a fucking knife
I think some people would say the ability to print a gun is more deadly then a knife.
But I kind of agree with you.
If we start licensing people to own stuff that has the potential to do harm, then eventually you are going to run into a never ending list of household items and laws of natural physics:
A surprising enlightening read. Thank you for sharing.
99% of the what I've seen is more deadly to the user than to anyone on the receiving end. You'd really be better off with a pipe pistol or shotgun.
But yeah, almost anything could be dangerous depending on how it's applied.
If you've only seen the liberator and the harlot, the hoffman lowers and FGC9_2 0s? Well...
Looked into the ones you mentioned, both require non-printed parts.
Those are better than what I had seen, but aren't even on the same scale as what someone can make with a mil or a lathe casually in a couple days
Of course they do, but the serialized part that is run through NICs is printable, the rest you can order online or get at home depot.
Of course plastic, extruded or otherwise, is less strong than metal. That wasn't the question. You can get a good few thousand rounds out of those before they crack and when they do, they crack along a layer and are not "more dangerous for the user" by any stretch of the imagination.
