Ban all terrorists.

Ban politicians. At least ban the ones with stupid mindsets, like that NY congressman Steve Israel. He really thinks criminals and terrorists will go through the trouble of 3D printing, when they can easily buy guns on the black market? Oh, it's about plastic guns. Well, some terrorists caused some major mayhem with some box cutters, yet they haven't banned the manufacture, sale, or possession of those box cutters.

As you say, ban all terrorists. But the lawmakers, enforcers, and jailers seem hell-bent on ignoring them and going after law-abiding citizens instead. Stupid politicians.

Is he going to ban CNC milling machines too?

Apparently Congress could do so and have it pass judicial muster =>

Effective weapons go back to the 1500s. Little difficult to read the instructions, but it's doable.

I'm pretty sure that I have the tech to make a firearm since I've got a lathe and milling machine. I don't need CNC.

For some reason the link you posted keeps bringing me back to this same thread.

All the hype about 3D printed guns is quite funny when you can make or finish a really nice lower receiver with an inexpensive CNC milling machine. Of course it is cheaper and probably easier in most cases to do it starting with a partially completed lower with jigs and common tools.

See post #13 re the Raich and Stewart decisions. According to established case law, the Commerce Clause permits Congress to criminalize 3D printed guns for private ownership.

That guy says he charges $350 for a new hammer (I am sure you can find them cheaper)

Nice little write up! I have seen other designs that take even less effort to put together. Nearly all of them seem like they would be more durable than a printed plastic gun.

Wilson would do well to have a corporation not legally connected to him formed by a friend somewhere outside of Texas. Have its name indicate something to do with manufacturing, modeling or sculpting, and he will be able to obtain whatever he wants. He is too well known in that industry to buy the most capable equipment. Time to get serious, and stop delays due to anti-gunners in the industry.

Israel swore to uphold the constitution of the United States.
I say he should be impeached and removed from office if he won’t

CWII Spark Ping — Ken H: See post #13. According to established case law, the Commerce Clause permits Congress to criminalize 3D printed guns for private ownership.

Raich is even worse than that: it is the government asserting that not-commerce is regulable by the commerce clause; or as Thomas said in his dissent:

If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything–and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers.

Yeah because look at all the people in NY who’ve died as a result of 3d printed guns. It’s the g-damn zombie apocalypse.

Maryland and Illinois are right there with New York. Then there’s California.

Does it surprise anyone that Steve Israel and Peter King are trying to make this kind of 3D printing illegal? Hello, morons, the horse is out of the barn and the technology is getting cheaper all the time. What you propose is too little and too late. You cannot roll back the march of technological progress.
