Ben: "Praise the Lord, unattached women!"

LMAO, barnbwt! Sounds about right for ol' Ben, too.
Of course, there'd be George: "hehehehee, this is a species of HEMP, did you say?".

But joking aside, I still think they'd be APPALLED at what their nation has become

In the vain of this thread, can anyone provide a link to a downloadable 3D program for the “600+” AR-15 lower?

Thanks... Frankie

The second link in post 32 is the "megapack" which does contain the lower that fired 600+ rounds. It's called "AR-15_Reinforced_Lower_Receiver" and it's in the Rifles subcategory.

Oh no! Such new and dangerous technology!

An example of this is the fact the pistol is smooth-bore, which would make it's construction illegal since it'd be a SBS or AOW (I forget which)--

I don't know for sure but it could have been made with a rifled barrel. It may not work as a rifled barrel but all that counts is that it has rifling.

I'm tempted to get a 3D printer now.

I don't see why they cant make it look like a 1911? That pic above is the best looking 3D printed gun I have seen, but it still looks a little toyish.

It's not 3d printed. It's from "In The Line Of Fire". Someone needs to brush up on his Clint Eastwood movies.

Did anybody else find it strange that the gov asked him to prove he didn't violate the laws? That's sort of their job in the courts. You know innocent until proven guilty and all that stuff? 5th amendment , a right to not self incriminate.

How is this different than say "The Anarchist Cookbook" or the old "SOF" magazines? Its just info on how to build something.

It is a real stretch to call making something available for download "exporting." The Feds are really grasping for straws.

The releasing if technical specs or the making available to foreign entities information controlled under ITAR is a violation of ITAR..... It doesn't matter how you do it. So the fact that they are claiming a violation because he made it available for download is not all that ridiculous....


I think the ridiculous part is that the govt considers a zip gun to be a threat to national security and something that we can't let into the hands of foreign govts.....

I don't exactly see the KGB plotting terror against the USA with plans for a crappy gun they found on the Internet....

Al Qeida once tried to build a nuclear weapon with plans from the internet. Turned out the plans were from an issue of National Lampoons.
