Maybe it wasn't a particularly good idea to make firearms so easily available to everyone and especially to (neo)Nazis?
You can just print that shit now.
Imagine if these crazy fucks didn't already have guns and they just discovered printable ones, I think that would have been a worse outcome.
Please elaborate as to how that would be worse. At least half these nutters wouldn't be able to figure out how to use a printer, let alone a 3d printer.
Why does everyone thing 3D printing is magic? You're not going to be 3D printing weapons that can kill scores of poeple. Any firearm printed on an FDM printer is lucky to fire once without injuring the dipshit wielder.
This comment betrays a lack of understanding around 3d printed firearms.
Of course there are your (nearly) fully plastic single shots like the Harlot that fire small calibers and dont always last long.
On the other hand, there's plastic lowers (the only part considered a firearm and thus the onlynpart that needs to be bought through an FFL) for AR15s that use off the shelf plumbing supplies for the pressure bearing components.
The files are readily available and able to be printed on low end FDM printers with little adjustment and troubleshooting completely bypassing the need to purchase a firearm from a dealer.
