3 D Printer – Fusion Nepal

The blueprint files to print your own 3D gun are now being sold — despite a ban issued by a federal judge.

Cody Wilson, founder of Defense Distributed, a group that distributes the files necessary to print your own “wiki weapons,” held a press conference on Tuesday announcing the release of the 3D firearm blueprints.

This comes one day after a federal judge in Seattle extended a temporary ban placed on the 3D gun files just before they were to be released online last month. That ban, handed down in July, was issued after attorneys general from Washington and several other states jointly filed a last minute lawsuit against the Trump administration in order to stop the 3D gun files release. The federal judge on Monday granted a motion to extend that ban until that case is resolved. The issue came to public attention after the State Department reached a settlement with Defense Distributed in June, paving the way for the group to release the files online. Read more…

What the president is talking about are firearms manufactured by 3-D printers, the kind someone might buy for their home and literally print themselves a gun.

The first thing you should know: It’s not illegal to make your own gun. Gun enthusiasts have been legally manufacturing their own pistols, handguns, rifles, and other firearms for centuries — there’s not even a requirement that they register their firearm. As long as they don’t sell, share, trade, or seek to distribute their creations, they were in the clear with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). There are some restrictions such as undetectable firearms and “other weapons,” like non-sporting rifles and shotguns made from 10 or more imported parts. But, for the most part, if you aren’t a felon and know how to navigate through certain loopholes, it’s the wild west when it comes to your more common firearms. Read more…
