According to gun-grabbers, Biden is very dangerous. He owns a 10 gauge shotgun, and was caught on film demonstrating how to shoot it.

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- On April 27th, 2021, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found, in a split decision, that Judge Lasnik of Washington State did not have the authority to issue a preliminary injunction preventing a final rule change in the Department of State and Department of Commerce from taking effect. From the decision:
R. NELSON, Circuit Judge:
The U.S. Department of State (“DOS”) and Department of Commerce appeal the district court’s order granting the motion of 22 states and the District of Columbia to enjoin DOS’s final rule removing 3D-printed guns and their associated files from the U.S. Munitions List. Because Congress expressly precluded review of the relevant agency actions here, we vacate the injunction and remand with instructions to dismiss.
The decision is the latest chapter in a long string of judicial actions where the powers that be have attempted to throttle both the First and Second Amendments under the dubious claim of “national security”.
The current decision is ultimately in favor of both First and Second Amendment freedoms, albeit in exceedingly technical arguments about court authority, congressional intent, and executive actions.
Here is a summation of the history leading to the current decision:
On May 6th, 2013, Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed demonstrated the feasibility of using a 3D printer to make a crude, single-shot pistol.
Three days later, Glenn Smith of the State Department sent a letter to Wilson and Defense Distributed demanding they stop sending files about the 3D printed pistol to the Internet, claiming they *might* be “ITAR-controlled technical data”. Defense Distributed immediately complied.

I will again point out that 3D printed firearms are at some level The Weapons Shops of Isher brought to the real world.

Any time a Washington State judge is overruled is a good day!
AND, by the 9th Circuit!!!

I ordered the book a couple of years ago for nostalgias sake. Bought a used paperback.
This Ping List is for all things pertaining to infringes upon or victories for the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from the list.

I may still have mine. Going through those boxes in the basement is on the to-do list.
Political power grows out of the nozzle of a 3-D Printer.
Apparently President Trump has had some positive effects on the courts.
Still hoping the cost of DMLS comes down to the level of FFF some day. Or at least affordable for the garage mechanic/gun smith.
3-D printing lost wax masters and casting in bronze is well within the capabilities of a determined garage mechanic.
Thank Trump for changing the makeup.
I must say that, at my age, I have a very hard time trying to conceptually understand How a computer can make a gun. Just don’t get it!
Is the sintering strong enough for the chamber and barrel to work multiple times? That seems more a prop/model than a real thing.
Bronze was used for cannons for centuries. I wouldn’t trust it for hot or magnum loads. It’s more for acquiring a hostile’s arms by surprise.
For a more than mouse gun load, one might make a wire gun. 1890s technology when the steel and forgings of the day weren’t quite up to the job...
Eeep! I though you were replying to post #12....
Stratasys makes rocket engines and gas turbine blades with DMLS, for whatever that’s worth.
Robert Hofmann GmbH has utilized 3D printing technology to create a fully functional cylinder block for a Volkswagen engine.
The pounding of 4-cycle combustion is probably pretty close to the pressure excursions of rounds being fired...
Imagine a flat steel plate, spread it with a very thin layer of powdered metal.
Heat ‘em up to just below the melting point.
Scan the powder with a laser to get it hot enough to melt and fuse it into a solid.
Spread another thin layer of powder on top, weld that to the first layer, and repeat hundreds or even thousands of times...
It takes more than just sintering it together to make those things. That said, it also looked to me that there were little voids in that picture - though that could be just the surface ripples.
