Australian Police Move To Make 3D Printed Guns Illegal

lukehopewell1 writes "'Untraceable, undetectable, cheap and freely available.' That's how Australian police have described the 3D-printable gun known as The Liberator today as they announce that they will be seeking to make the download, construction and possession of these weapons illegal. In their tests, Police printed the 15 parts required to assemble The Liberator in 27 hours and assembled it within 60 seconds with a firing pin fashioned out of a steel nail. The two guns were test fired into a block of resin designed to simulate human muscle, and the first bullet penetrated the resin block up to 17 centimeters. NSW Police Ballistics division confirm that it would be a fatal wound if pointed at someone."

It really has to burn a serf like yourself, our wonderful 2nd Amendment. After all, it was the fact that the average American took up arms and fought your evil empire, pushing over the dominoes of your empire's fall. Now you are a pathetic joke, dependent upon us lest your former subjects turn and rend you all into corpses. I can understand the resentment from a weakling as yourself.

I watched yesterday a video of one of your enemies, standing in your street, hands bloodied, his victim laying dead in the streets. The cows are indeed coming home, as we say here. You in your arrogance, in your superior thinking and ways, have become quite the fools. You have let in your country, in your neighborhoods, an enemy that will be your undoing.

So by all means, mock us, the last super power, the last free people. We shall snack on popcorn while we listen to your pathetic mewling, and spectate as you, the fallen empire, reaps the whirlwind of your own folly and at last crumble to dust.

So please, keep ranting, it's vastly amusing. By the way, you have a little spittle at the corner of your mouth. I thought I should point it out, you being so proper and all.
