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.

    "The Children" do not want an AR-15. They want an EMP gun.

    As a matter of fact, so do I. Ammo is getting hard to get.

    have a fairly large penis. Sup with that!

    Clearly we need penis length restrictions and a ban on high-capacity testicles.

    There's no reason a private citizen needs assault privates.

    Will people have to register 3D printes with Homeland Security now?

    No, you will have to register 3D printers with the BATFEP (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Explosives and Printers), but only if you buy two or more semi-automatic printers capable of printing items larger than 11 inches in any dimension with a detachable plastic-ink cartridge in a 5-day period in a state that shares a border with Mexico. Alternatively, you could just drive to Oregon to buy your printer and avoid the registration, sales tax and electronic waste fee.
