On the 3 D printer: Remember that the 3D printer is only a substitute for a person with skills.
On Alphabet regulatory agencies,and appointing activists to head them, I offer a quote from C S Lewis: “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.” |

The ATF isn't under any such restriction, and the recently proposed worksheet on criteria for braces gives insight into their thought process. From the worksheet it seems some braces are acceptable, hence no need for grandfathering or amnesty. And the goal isn't making "unauthorized" braces go away, but to backpedal on their original determination. Quote:
Gun manufacturers and makers were churning out every auto sear and machine gun receiver they could prior to implementation of the Hughes Amendment. Remember the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban? Manufacturers produced millions of pistol and rifle magazines that guess what.........were legal to sell throughout the AWB. PreBans still bring a premium A "free amnesty" affects manufacturers and 3D printers exactly the same. If it was made before a deadline on manufacturing.....its grandfathered. If manufactured or 3D printed afterward its not. Quote:
Until illegal, they are legal. If possession of something is legal now, it doesn't matter if made by a 3D printer or commercial manufacturer. Quote:

When 3D printers that can print in aluminum become available to the public, the liberals are really going to mess themselves. Right now they're really high end items mostly used in aerospace but technology has a way of trickling down to the public.
Right now 3D printers that can print in nylon are already making stuff way stronger than the original 3D printed plastic stuff... As to the data files for gun parts, that toothpaste has been out of the tube so long it's never going back in... Tony |

How many times are you going to edit your post, tom?
I can't reply if it keeps changing.
