Functional printed semi-auto pistol shoots new nail into 'gun control's' coffin

All the rejuvenated talk of banning all semi-automatic firearms, "high capacity" magazines ("progressive"-speak for "standard capacity magazines), and private sales (and a mandate for "universal background checks" would be just that--a ban of private sales) ignores the fact that technology is on the verge of making such endeavors utterly irrelevant. When one can after all simply print these items at home, without asking the government's permission, "gun control" will have suffered its long and richly deserved death without dignity.

Lose their minds, when some government some where bans magazines that have a capacity of 8 rounds and not 7 rounds, until they get around to outlawing 7 round capacities next month, and 6 the month after, when they have no authority to ban or control, jack shit. Their fucking courts not withstanding.

This is very simple folks. They're coming and they are not going to stop until you stop them. You have a choice, tuck tail and submit like a good little slave, or get busy.

Learn how to fabricate, teach others. It's not like we are totally helpless, this country is for now, free. It is awash in information and technologies as well as the old skills necessary to do anything you wish to. This will end, just as soon as they can manage it so use your time wisely.

Jhn1 said...: This reminds me of the old high quality copy machine debacle.

As would seem obvious, at some point a copy machine did good enough copies that (with the right paper) it can do a passable job of printing cash. So, the Secret Service (with actual statutory responsibility for preventing and prosecuting counterfeiting of the non-government issued Federal Reserve Promisary Notes) made all such machines store themselves a copy of everything they copied. And they didn't sell those machines, but leased them, with a maintenance agreement that mandated periodic checkups, or the machine would stop working (same with being moved, it required a service "reset")

Now remember the current "anti-piracy" cries. And the "need" to have the 3d printer verify they have a license to make whatever.

Can you say "the devices now available all contact some outside authority to OK or they won't work"? And Legally Mandated anti-piracy retrofit of earlier 3d-printers, under penalty of many differing alphabet agencies and quasi-governmental alphabet agencies?; July 11, 2014 at 3:04 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
