Print guns off the internet?

Totally. Free education and free speech should be listed as human rights.

The US has just been elbowed out of the UN Human Rights Council, of course. Getting back in will take another two administrations, I guess, and a sea-change of attitude.

The US got "elbowed out"? Given what we support in Yemen and Gaza coupled with the fact that our corporate state police murder unarmed citizens in the streets with impunity, I don't think we really have any business on anyone's human rights council until we get our shit together.

So you agree with Cody Wilson then and support Defense Distributed. Glad to hear it.

OK- so I've looked them up. No, I don't agree. I reserve the right to define ' education ' in positive terms. Printing guns is dog-training.
 
This is a non-issue.

1. It takes a level of intelligence to do this and get it right, and common criminals aren't known for their intelligence.
2. "Zip" guns, etc., have been around since the 1920's, and don't look as frickin' dumb.
3. They are single shot, putting the user at great risk if he misses his target, or there are multiple victims.

So no, you don't believe in the free distribution of knowledge then. Well, the fascism makes sense since you want to kill all the Jews.

No- I do believe in the free distribution of knowledge. As I said- which you didn't grasp first time around- I reserve the right to define ' education ' in positive terms. Circulating plans for lethal weapons doesn't qualify. Neither would circulating details of how best to saw off a head and put it on a pole.
That doesn't mean that I'd want to prevent such knowledge from being freely circulated. Those that put such knowledge into practise , however, should be subject to the law, naturally.

By the same token, anybody that wanted to circulate plans for the killing of all Jews should be free to do so. I wouldn't want to kill any Jews myself, of course. Izraeli fascists ? Well- the law will see that they get what's coming to them. The legal details are freely available and in circulation.

No they cannot you idiot. If it were feasible, gun manufacturers would have been making them for years. No plastic is capable of handling the heat and pressures of modern ammunition.

The notion that a criminal would be have the wherewithal of even printing a plastic gun is laughable and idiotic. If that were the case, we already have been seeing them all over Blue controlled urban sewers.

Good points.

And these plans were released on the internet in 2013, ... it's already been a done deal for 5 years now.
 
I've puzzled over President Trump's vaguely worded comment on failing to protect the First Amendment right to publish 3D printer blueprints for assault-style firearms.


One possibility:

While here to fore the NRA has seemed to be a zealous champion of gun rights (which happens to be in the best interests of gun manufacturers), a genuine pro-gun rights advocate would favor honoring the First Amendment right to publish these gun print blueprints.


BUT !!


If citizens print their own guns, that cuts gun manufacturers out of the loop. And suddenly, does the NRA favor publishing these gun print blueprints?


So you tell me.

Is President Trump discharging his Art.2 Sect.1-7, & Art.2 Sect.3 obligations? Or is he merely shilling for the gun makers?
