At some point, any job that most people can reasonably train for will be accomplished more economically by automation. These people will then be either destitute or on the dole.
I have to disagree on the background checks. The added time and expense will make selling ammunition unprofitable or exorbitantly expensive, so people will hoard instead of practicing at the range. That in turn will make people less safe.
Actually, they are. Detachable mag and one "military style" feature is now an evil "assault weapon". Owners have a brief period in which to sell them out of state. Seven round mags are simply not available, so just about all that's left are revolvers and old fashioned rifles.
I can understand that viewpoint, though I disagree with it. That is not, however, what you had originally said. You had said, unless I misinterpreted, that even though they hadn't violated any law they should be classified as terrorists and then prosecuted as such. I hold that disliking someone's behavior does not warrant classifying them as a terrorist

Just law prosecutes the violators of that law. They have not violated any law, therefore you want to prosecute them simply because you don't like them or what they're doing. I sure hope you don't vote.
Do that and you've destroyed everything the founding fathers fought for. 1: Dislike someone. 2: Classify them as a terrorist. 3: Prosecute them for being a terrorist. 4:.... 5: Profit!
What law would you charge them with breaking? High cap mags ARE currently legal. But that's beside the point. The group is making their efforts public to show what could be done in secret. As a machinist, I could fairly easily make illegal firearms in secret already. With 3d printing you wouldn't have to be a machinist. Compliance with firearm restrictions is on the honor system, which badguys tend not to follow.
Only a little, and only if successfully enforced. The point being made by 3d printing a 30 round mag is that such enforcement is impossible.
If hackers use UNIX it should be banned except for government organizations. Windows should be good enough for private citizens, and having to hack with windows will slow them down./tongue in cheek.
This will require significant bandwidth and processing power, especially to stop circumvention by rotating scaling, cutting (for later assembly) or adding or subtracting insignificant features. This bandwidth and processing power will add significant cost, which I see as fortunate in that it will be a competitive disadvantage for DRM enabled printers.
For the most part I agree. April through October that would be perfect for me. Living in Minnesota though I would want a third wheel and a canopy for the rest of the year. I'm still waiting for he Zap Alias to be released.
That's really the way to go. Figure cost of ownership per year at your average miles traveled; you came out pretty good. One thing I could see giving an electric car an advantage would be that it SHOULD last a lot longer, if it's built right, but that precludes simply converting an old IC car. It would require building from scratch, which I'd love to do but don't have the money for.
Also consider the value of money now versus money later. This is why people often make payments that add up to a much higher total rather than cough up several thousand immediately.

Considering that violent crime has been steadily decreasing for several years, I'd say there isn't one.
Nice! How about seven gallons of gas in your car? Cars with larger tanks to be destroyed or sold out of state. Or seven bills per politician?

Well, it does tie in nicely with the article about printing a 30 round mag. Will 3d printers be restricted in New York?
Do they expect murderers to refrain from loading those last three rounds?

Very good. Wishing for mod points.

So launch into space isn't export?
In practice it only needs to appear to provide protection, so that the worker will be more willing to enter areas with dangerous levels of radiation.
Beating a protein that's not a banana in front of traffic
Better be careful about that.

Hello steampunk.
Cool, thanks.
$14000 buys an awful lot of gas.
