Perhaps now you see why >99% of all applicants are approved, and why I say that the current NZ gun laws are not at all strict.

WTAF?

Did you mean to quote my post?

A simple number of home-made phones would have sufficed.

<shakes head> just about all of this post is wrong, the vast majority of 3d printers are totally open source no patents or anything else. please just stop posting crap you've heard or skim read, mass manufacturing will always be quicker and cheaper then 3d printing, we are decades away from anything changing. Its no surprise this forums 2 biggest trolls have jumped onto this and continue to argue black is white.

I know you are surprised by the analogy. That doesn't surprise me

The point a bunch of people are trying to make - everything is already being made at home. And what is not, will be soon.

Home made phones? You mean radios? Receivers/transmitters? Ask commie dissent? You need some?

Quick, though, before they ban the access to the parts.

Here's a parallel: TIG, or Heliarc welding.

The process was developed in the early '40s, and compared to other welding methods, it is one heck of a lot better (if more difficult to master).

TIG, for home use, only became affordable in the last decade or so.

You believe an auto engine is a manufacturing tool? There is no help for you!

BTW, anyone wanting to read Branton Tarrant's manifesto can do so here.

Of particular relevence to this thread:

I’m actually surprised at the facepalm-level of discussion because there’s no real counter-argument supporting the current lack of control of seni-automatic weapons.

Comedy gold.

So, joining FDuvall on the watch list is anyone who doesn't know the difference between "effect" and "affect".

And how is your addition controlling it?

EF is a funny place, innit

How many had a need to?


Maybe if governments would have tried banning them, more people would have made their own.


There's nothing in a landline phone that you can't buy in an electronics shop.

Love your priorities!

A purist in his purest form.

"without a furnace!"
Sounds like a furnace to me! "Fine metal powder is melted locally by a high-energy fiber laser in the build chamber"

Definition furnace; an enclosed structure in which material can be heated to very high temperatures.

so just to close this tangent down

no one will go on a shooting rampage with a 3d printed gun in our lifetime and probably not in your kids lifetime either, unless its with a lazer gun, powered by a 1l eco engine from ford.

end of story, requires no comments or further thought or worry, its not going to happen, I guarantee it.

How do you think EEs have become so genius in DIY. Tedious. Trying to forget all those skills to feel like in a 1st world country.

No mo cool pics?

Ah yes, my friends in Hungary showed me an aerial concealed in the roof of an old barn with which, back in the day, they would listen to radio from countries that they weren't supposed to be listening to.


Bans foster inventive minds.

plenty on face book, search for "andys 3d prints" lol

Shhhh...we talkin' serial killers. And the meta ban on meta spare parts.

I wish people forgot the gun law tantrums that split the communities. There are countries with bans on all, checkpoints every 25mins of highways and still have violence and massacres prevailing.

As long as the legislature looks good and those in power wash their hands off it. 'Wasn't me'.

FB? Isn't it the comm tool of evil people? Banz!
