A lathe and mill aren’t in the budget this year. Maybe next!
Once the Black Market price of the printer, the materials and software needed to produce firearms becomes more expensive than buying
Well said except for the last sentence. I’d say it’s right. I’m not sure how you rate their goals. I think most of them don’t understand priorities. They just do what makes them feel good.Y'all are missing the point.
Gun control isn't about banning guns.
Gun control is all about criminalizing the possession of guns.
The law-abiding will either turn in their guns or join the criminals, revolutionaries and anarchists that will remain armed.
Respect for the law and the state as it currently exists will be further diminished.
That is the first goal af the progressive movement.
Although your general point about technology not being static still stands, it's probably not quite kosher to quote Moore's law as support for that general point since it is a fairly specific observation about the density of transistors in integrated circuits.However, 3D printing is as subject to Moore's Law as any other technology--where the capacity increases 100% every 18 months (or get cheaper; or more efficient, etc.).
It already started a few years ago.Death of gun control? No. It will just be another angle for those to attack from.
Ah, but a fundamental tenant of the print-at-home revolution is that, eventually, we will print things--appliances, consumer goods, and the like. Amazon would not deliver, but would sell 3D code, and you'd just make what you wanted at home. Which suggests having printers and feedstock available to make every kind of consumer goods. If you can print a toaster, or a cuisinart, or the like, you could print a gun.
Y'all are missing the point.
