Printable AR-15 Mag Gets More Reliable; YouTube Pulls Video of Demo

Wired reports that the 3-D printed AR-15 magazine from Defense Distributed we mentioned a few weeks back has been improved through design, and is now robust enough to last through firing (at least) several hundred rounds, rather than fewer than a hundred as in the previous iteration. CNET says the video demonstration on YouTube was first yanked, then restored, but as of now seems to have been yanked again.

    Well, if the gun nuts can easily mod guns to make them into full military spec, then the guns themselves have to be banned. Alternatively, if the 2nd Amendment prohibits that, we could just round up all the NRA members, put them in a stadium with their guns and unlimited ammo for 24 hours and let their paranoia solve the problem.

    And lastly, despite your final solution for the NRA, how are you going to round them up if they have their guns?

    Police also have guns. Resisting arrest with a gun merits use of deadly force.

    But it'd be neater to let them wipe each other out. If you're all as peaceful and polite as you claim, you can just play solitaire or take a nap and be on your way the next day. I'd bet they wouldn't last 20 minutes before someone got nervous though. It'd make an excellent screening process for prospective gun licensees. Put them through in batches of 100. Could televise it to pay for the ammo and funerals.
