Rules (Under review):
-
- NO BUYING, SELLING OR TRADING of guns or accessories. Take that to Reddit and /r/GunAccessoriesForSale or Armslist.com
-
- Censor all personally identifiable information in posts including serial numbers on firearms.
-
- Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
-
- Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
-
- Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

Many consumer 3D printers, especially well-known ones like RepRap's, or Prusa or Voron, are open-source designs made to be assembled from general-purpose pieces. Many people already make them in this way. Whoever came up with this didn't do a basic background check on the tech...
The whole thing is fear mongering. The libs genuinely believe you can make a fully automatic AK-47 in .50 caliber ("Just upscale the barrel lol") out of resin.
If you are determined enough, you can make anything. You absolutely can't just download a file and print an AK-47, but anybody who is disgruntled enough can find a way to kill someone.
