You're viewing a single thread.
While I’m sure you can get good prints if you’re meticulous, I highly doubt you could print enough guns for a Nerf war, let alone a race war.
The rebels in Myanmar have been known to use 3d printed guns, specifically the FGC9 which is pictured in this article. They're very simple to make and rely specifically on off the shelf hardware store parts. A tuned in Ender 3 could make one in about 24hrs. The FGC9 design has been proven to shoot accurate and for many hundreds, and in some cases thousands of rounds before failure.
Honestly that's a pretty impressive feat. Scary, but impressive.
That’s still incredibly slow compared to normal manufacturing, and a pretty short lifespan of the gun.
Useful for terrorism? Absolutely. But a race war? Nah.

Should we regulate CNC machines and laser/water cutters as well?
Makers aren't the problem. It's what some makers make. If you ban or restrict tools, they'll just use different tools/methods. Or just break the law, because they already don't care about laws. Just makes it harder for legitimate users to get anything done.
We should sort out how people get radicalized and fix that problem.

But yeah, it kinda looks like we should also start regulating 3D-printers and require registration on purchase. Not really a fan of mass surveillance, but if you have a database of people who bought a 3D printer, you kinda have a starting point if you are looking for those assholes.
It kind of sounds like you are in favor of mass surveillance. Try to make me register my CR10 with the state and you'll see my opinion on 2A flip instantaneously
"They're fascists," and you want my name on a list because I own an articulated octopus machine

More like "oh no, Europeans will absolutely ban the sale and ownership of 3d printers if they're allowed to"
Oh no, you are on a list of 3D printer owners. Oh no, the world will end.
And when they ban manufacturing of guns, first people they're getting search warrants for are those with registered 3d printers. Why else have the list?
And registering your purchase is like such a common thing, you do it’s when buying ammo, a firearm, a car, an apartment…
Most US states don't require registration of either firearms or ammo. Background checks are only required for the firearm, which does leave a trail, but only of X serial number was purchased by Y person on Z date. If you make your own firearms, depending on the state, serial numbers are optional, or can be whatever you want.
Also my car is only registered if I want to drive on public road ways. Not on purchase. Apartments, houses, etc, only apply when I want to update my license to drive, or vote. Otherwise the government couldn't give 2 shits.
You live in a horrible surveillance state and defend it. Most modern countries are to some degree, but you'll gladly hand over you internet, contact and travel history when asked it seems. All for the benefit of something that doesn't care about you.
The question is, how to regulate 3D printers without it being trivial to bypass?
The modern 3D printer designs grew out of reprap (replicating rapid prototypers). Repraps are designed to be printed , and use a minimal set of "vitamins". Many/most of these can be brought, or made at home, or in a small workshop. The hardest unique part is the nozzle, and that can be turned on a lathe fairly easily.
Beyond that, how do you even define a 3D printer? Will they also require registration of all hand drills? They can be used to make guns too.
Basically, any ban will be the legal equivalent of masturbation.
Are you aware that milling machines exist, are on the civilian market, and have been for decades without issue?
Yes?
Then why are you doing the dumb, you bootlicking cunt?
"We need a database of all those EEEEEVILLLLL
COMMIES, BLACKS, AND JEWS3d printer users!"Fuck off.

Would you feel safer if all 3d printer owners printed out a yellow star to wear on their lapels?
Moronic "But MUH FEEEEEEEELZ" horseshit has no place in an intelligent society. You have to be an absolute goatfucking moron to think that a fucking 3d printer makes you less safe.
What next, you going to learn that a belt sander is just a MINIATURE KNIFE FACTORY?
Fuckin' Mentos and Coke MAKING IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVES>!??!?

You're actually a goddamn moron.
Fuck yourself in the dick with a 3d printed dick.
The issue, you asstarded fucknozzle is that FUCKING NONE OF THAT SHIT should require registration with a FEDERAL FUCKING GOVERNMENT YOU BOOTLICKING BITCH except the drones because those actually operate in Federal airspace, at least here in the US and it's no different from being licensed by the Federal government to be a pilot.
I give zero shits about guns. Morons like you, on the other hand, are actually fucking dangerous.
