The printing of 3D firearms is becoming
a very dangerous thing in America. Well the government is attempting to crack
down on current illegal weapons makers, these gun manufactures are able to create
and give away full 3D blueprints of firearms that people can print in their own
homes. This is such as scary turn of events that the department of homeland
security has issued a warning to the public, stating that it would be very hard
to stop the printing of these 3d firearms. They say that because this is a
printed weapon and not a real firearm, it does not require a serial number,
therefore, can be distributed by anyone with a federal firearms licensee and
bought by literally anyone. This is not only a scary thought, that anyone can
purchase these weapons, but it is scarier that an ordinary person can download
the file to any of these weapons and print them on any accessible 3d printer.
This event can only get worse and worse.
In the past 2 months, this company has gone from printing upper receivers to
the full models of firearms. What happens when we give this another 2 months?
Or a year? What we will eventually see is firearms that can put more than 200 rounds
through them. Sooner or later, we will see fully functional assault rifles that
are able to hold more than any legal rifle today, that is fully automatic and
can be bought for FREE and printed at the fraction of the cost of purchasing
the same rifle. This is what we are probably going to call the ‘next stage’.
These stages occur when revolutions or breakthroughs happen in a short period
of time. In cases such as the world wars, we saw the heavy advancement of all
military weapons and tactics. We went from bolt action rifles, swords and horses
to Jet fighters, long-range bombers and nuclear weapons. This advancement is
not on the scale of let’s say a nuclear weapon, but it is an advancement that
should be feared even more. How easy it would be to take a printed gun everywhere,
on planes, into subways, on buses; and the only current logical solution to
find these weapons is a full body pat down. What it is eventually going to do
is have an event, a tragic, awful event that will force the government to take
action against these forms of weapons.
