First Fully Printed 3d Gun

The local Cabela's had a real Liberator in about the same condition as the one in the picture. Asking price: $2400. From what I understand, that's not unreasonable, especially when it comes with the original box and literature.
Not many of those survived WWII because they were made with ferrous metals for the purpose of rusting to dust in the event they weren't found or discarded after use. Also, because GM, at the time, didn't want anyone to know that they produced them. It was very hush hush.
Cool piece of history.
Agreed!
Sounds like the fun begins soon.
I can't imagine what the tyrannical bastards are going to try to do to stop this, but it's pretty clear that politicians from both parties and across the whole nation are up in arms about this (No pun intended) and want to stop it by any means at their disposal.
Now, I don't know how much of this is coincidence, but look what New Zealand just did yesterday:

These are incredibly exciting times we live in... IP itself is going to be meaningless within our lifetimes.

Am I the only one that thinks it's a bad idea that any nutball can print a machine gun off the internet?arty-smiley-004:
You cant print a machine gun. You can print a single shot pistol off the internet. I am not saying what you're saying wont be possible, but we are not there yet.
What you fail to realize is any nutball can/do with a few simple parts make a machine gun in their garage. Those same nutball's can also make a few stops in town and come up something much more sinister.
Regardless of what you and I think, this is not about the gun. It's about information. And the .gov's ability to "censor" information in the name of protecting its people. All the while the .gov has all of these plan's readily available to them. This is the kind of information that could save the nation from a tyrannical .gov. What will they sensor next? Will they start taking books out of the library? Perhaps ban you from having impure thoughts?
Tyranny exists anytime the .gov allow's themselves to do something, while forbidding its people to do the same thing.
No, apparently pdxdvr above is as much of a scaredy-cat statist as you are.Am I the only one that thinks it's a bad idea that any nutball can print a machine gun off the internet?
Guns don't kill people. People do.
...And the human race is never going to be worth the shit we excrete daily until we start taking responsibility for that fact.
I get that. Would you be OK if someone discovered a simple way to enrich uranium and was publishing that on the net?
No, I think only governments should be allowed to have this kind of information because we can trust them to never use it to hurt anyone ever.

Enriching uranium is not covered under the 2nd amendment. You don't get to pick and choose what is acceptable to allow with free speech. As soon as you do, free speech is dead.
Various companies still make sanitized weapons for the US government.
S&W has had a contract for quite some time making un-marked revolvers for guerrilla groups. Airtronics USA also makes a RPG-7 for the US government and another group makes AK47s.
Conspiracy theorist. Our .gov would never do that. They are peacemakers. What would a peace seeking .gov, and a nobel peace prize winner need with unmarked weapons?
In order to have a machine gun , that would require a trip to lowes and home depot with the purchase of about $350 worth of equipment and metals. Do you realize that in the 1940s, British schoolchildren were manufacturing their military's primary machine gun during recess for less than $8 at the time? Guns are stupidly easy to make with a little knowhow.
Firearms are stupidly easy to make. 3d printed guns are a gimmick for technophiles who are afraid to touch metalworking tools. Sure, there's a nice thing about pressing 'Go' to make a 3d printed gun that will fire a whole 5 times before blowing up.
I would much rather have a 12 gauge shotgun made from $15 in parts from walmart that will last thousands of shots.
I'm curious how you sleep at night knowing that chemical weapons can be made from ingredients solely sourced from the local grocery store.
