Tomorrow is the day. The AR-15 will be unleashed to circulate on the Internet forever. When the day of home 3D metal printing arrives every free citizen of the world will be able to make one. This is the nightmare for oppressors - but a blessing for the liberty loving common man.

Even the dinosaur brained liberal politicians will eventually figure that out and make it illegal to buy, sell, manufacture or possess the parts. Like it will be possible to control that, but they’ll make a few high profile cases to make it look like the laws work.

Why would you want to? Everything but the receiver for an AR-15 is just a part. No serial number, no tracing, no restrictions on purchasing.

Your observation is correct for the United States, currently.

In almost all of the world, except for the United States, gun parts may not be purchased without a license from the government.

Legislation has been proposed in several states to make that the case in the United States.

Why would you 3D print anything at the astronomical expense when you can make a simple Shepherd’s sling for pennies? Or even a bow isn’t that expensive to make and it’s works, or a blowgun? I seem to recall that punji Stakes were particularly effective deterrent as well.

No problem. They’ll just regulate 3d printers and supplies into unobtainable status. Still legal, just so expensive and requiring licenses and inspections and the like that only businesses will ever have one. Never think the government is stuck in a scenario they hate but can’t control. They love to prove that they can crush whatever they want.

But the common man can find someone who has one

The common man can not afford a 3D printer.

He will in a few years.

The 3-D printing approach isn't bad, but home-made weapons aren't exactly new, or dependent on expensive, hi-tech hardware. The Department of the Army put out a training manual 50 years ago, that makes entertaining reading: "Improvised Munitions Handbook" (TM 31-210, 1969). Probably available as a paperback reprint, somewhere near you...

;^)

Tomorrow is also the day the insane demented liberal overlords in the Maryland General Assembly hear testimony in their predetermined vote to outlaw the possession of 3D printed gun files.

This along with several other 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th Amendments, Article 9 and a few other parts of the Constitution, but they don’t care, they are liberals.

I have the original as well as the booby trap issue.

I have one, and I'm a commoner.

Granted it's not a metal 3D printer, but I can make the parts out of a low melting polymer (even wax!) and make patterns for lost wax casting. Firearms were made of brass or bronze for centuries.

They'd be just fine for lighter loads, which could then be used to steal steel weapons...
