The failure of all prohibitions has been in the ease in which the people could obtain the banned item. Alcohol is not hard to brew in a bathtub. The evil weed grows, well like a weed everywhere . The evil firearms printed on a 3D printer will not slow the adoption of 3D technology it will hasten it. So the ship of fools on the Potomac will order one website to shut down after the files are in the wild. Those files are reproducing faster than rabbits you idiots.
Guns are a tiny sideshow in relation to the total impact of this new "disruptive technology". When people can make new parts or whole devices for a large percentage of common consumer items on site, what happens to the people with huge investments in manufacture, retail sales and distribution of those items? Next technology of METAL 3D printing is allready here, and the price to obtain the units will be coming down just like it did with the plastic printing versions.
This could make the damage Amazon and other low overhead online retail are doing to brick and mortar stores look mild- Need a new carburetor for the lawn mower? Your neighbor prints you one. The Toro parts department closes after a few years...
When such a new technology comes on the scene, those with investments in soon to be obsolete technology and business models have a couple of choices: embrace and invest in the new wave, or fight a delaying action against it long enough to get as much return as possible off their existing investments.
Gun printing would be an excellent pretext to control the release of 3D printing technology to the general public. Just got to blow the issue up big in the mainstream press and get enough people screaming things like "THIS IS GOING TO BE USED BY TERRRRRRRORISTS!!!" and "THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW AGAINST THAT!!! FOR THE CHIIIIILDREN'S SAKE!!!"
Alynski was all about the message. I imagine the statists are more than a little worried about how infective their tyranny is in controlling the web, the largest messaging device ever devised.
Must be killin' em not to be at a point in their long march to have the power to shut it down.
The beauty of it is, like Liberty, the internet is larger than us, or them. And like in physical war, quantity has a quality all it's own.
I got no illusions this act to sensor these printed arms files is another act of war on our Liberty in a very long train of abuses.
But that is OK.
Because they is scared. You can smell it. The collectivist bastards are way out of their element, they are thrashing out. They may think they are on the cusp of obtaining the end of the long march. But a funny thing is happening, they stomp on Liberty and it pops up in a hundred other places.
You reap what you sow.
I hope their fear begins to rule them. I hope it haunts their waking hours and stalks them in their dreams. The doubt becomes ever present.
See something, the smart asses thought they could stick their ruling class pinkies in the air and with a diktat here and a diktat they would rule the world.
Uh uh. No sir.
These inbred primadonna's of the elite Nomenklaturer class are so full of themselves they couldn't understand the strategy of allowing for unintended consequences if it bit em on their arses.
Besides their isn't anything elite about these traitors and tyrants. The lowest scum on earth if you ask me.
Like that turd Manchin. Now there is an ugly little troll, can't even call that traitor a man. He ain't even fit to get the hangman's noose for treason, the son of a bitch should be tried with the rest of the collectivist lyin' bastards, and locked in a 6x6 till he dies. That way he gets to ponder the betrayal of trust of the people he violated and the arrogance of his lies he sold till he shrivels up like an old raisin and dies of old age.
What these scum don't seem to understand, and it begs the question of what is it that motivates these savages in suits? Hubris, a completely corrupt culture of privilege and power, delusion, what, I can figure it out? But no matter, they are clowns and fools if they think the collectivist lets rape America for everything it's worth gravy days aren't over. They are messing with something far outside the realm of their ways and corruption.
It's called Liberty.
You can only fuck with good people so long before they decide enough is enough. Guarantee you, payback is coming with a bone in it's teeth.
Cody Wilson achieved his goal ! Predictably many politicians ( and the current government ) quickly responded with the inevitable "knee-jerk" ; which has been Wilson's stated goal. (No doubt why his tongue-in-cheek naming of his design "Liberator" .)
As the British government discovered so many years' back; resources plus demand combined with ingenuity and enterprise will create everything needed - from copper pots to shovels to canon, to muskets -particularly when "government" attempts to control the supply.
Today's rebels "think" digital, hence the "printable gun". But everyone has access to the tools, materials and knowledge to craft their own firearms. The sophistication of which is only limited by individuals' skills. And, I suspect, that's the point Mr. Wilson is making ! >Jeff
In science fiction, they're called "fabbers", short for fabricators. There are already 3D printers working in metal. Take one of those, the plastic printers we've already seen, a CNC mill to work on ingots the old-fashioned way, a 3D scanner for input, whatever other capabilities are available or desired, and smoosh them all together in one unit.
The first one will be very expensive.
The hundredth, or thousandth, will make a copy of itself with a single keystroke.
A fabber in every home, like flush toilets, electric refrigerators, color TVs and internet-capable computers.
DEFCAD may have taken down their files, but who says that we must? People should post these files on any/all sites as often as possible... or barring that, post links to the appropriate open-source bittorrent software, IP blocker, and the offending DEFCAD files.
I ask that who are THEY to demand the removal of 3d gun files, on grounds of international trade restrictions, when THEY (the gov) are openly shipping arms, cash & military equipment to its own listed terrorist organizations from the Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK) in Iraq/Iran, to LIFG in Libya, to Jabhat al-Nusra in Syria; oh and let's not forget the walking of thousands of firearms across the Mexican border!
Before the feds demand the removal of DEFCAD's speck, they should remove their (Fast & Furious) beam from their own eye.
In fact, compliance regarding the Liberator pistol should be contingent on the prior & complete disclosure of F&F. Let these statists explain how they are permitted to do the things which others are prohibited from?!
Moreover, Holder should be compelled to allocute to F&F before anyone complies with ANYTHING his DoJ demands!
The legitimacy of this regime has long since bled out; if they expect anyone's compliance on anything, the sine qua non should in fact be their mass resignation.

Just wait till 3D printers sell for under $500. Things will get real then.

"Just wait till 3D printers sell for under $500. Things will get real then.

A few years back, I saw a desktop-sized 3D printer retailing for $12,000 at a industry seminar.
A few months ago I noted a major manufacturer of similar systems had them priced down to $2000.
That $500 mark is coming on like a fat kid charging the dessert line.
