I still can't see.223 being ethical. If.308 is overkill, I shudder to hear of what you think of my favorite deer rifle, it is a.300 winmag. Mind you I selected that for distance work on more than just whitetail. I see no point in having one gun for deer, another for hogs and another for elk.
I have considered one more gun for feral hogs, but I am not a big fan of the look of the AR, nor the shitting where it eats.
I will likely find a lever gun in a modern caliber for the task.
Making handguns unavailable would do a lot to end gangland murders. We have no need to convince you or me to not shoot each other, we need to disarm thugs. They prefer cheap and easily concealed pistols. The crime statistics show this.
I do not need a gun for self protection and if I did I would move.
I only mentioned it because my grandpa has one with all the Nazi marks still on it and I am sure that thing is accurate at those ranges. It looks like it was never used.
They want a scary black gun so they can pretend to be real big strong men. Never mind that their grandpa's old Winchester would be a better tool for the task at hand.
No, I show that I have ethics. A.22 caliber round is a way to torture a deer to death. I have shot a deer through the vitals with.308 and seen them go 400 yards.
No matter how fast that tiny little round goes it is only going to make a tiny little hole.
Or you could skip all those steps and go buy an AR at the local gun shop.
A normal AR is not much of a long range tool, now your grandpa's mauser, that is like AT&T. Reach out and touch someone, at 1000M even. High frequency is something a level gun can do.
Either way if we want to end gun deaths, banning pistols which are used in order of magnitudes more murders would be a far better approach.
Only for Semis and ARs more specifically. For bolt guns the action is the gun. This is why you can have a mauser barrel shipped to your house, but not a barreled action.
You can either use plumbing pipe or buy one online. Obviously the use of plumping pipe has accuracy repercussions but it can be a functional firearm if that is all you are going for. Barrels are not controlled by any law I know of.
So are short barreled rifles, semi-auto guns that are considered not to have a sporting purpose and pretty much anything that does not cleanly fall into the categories of the GCA. Again this does not make them illegal to own just you need to pay the tax and do the paperwork.
In what way is using a 3d printer different than me making a semi-AK out of a sheet metal and supplies from homedepot?
I just don't see how it matter what tech made the gun parts. This seems more like attention seeking than a real concern. Home manufacture of semi-auto long rifles is federally speaking totally legal.
The property is sold, in this case there will be no buyers.
I am storing it for a one time payment. That way I get the most money now, and who cares about after I am dead.
When those barrels start leaking into the groundwater the lawsuits will be for far more than my property is worth.
The point is property can be ruined to the point total loss of value. Right now we call them superfund sites. Under your system they would just sit and leak. With no owner to sue the adjoining property owners would be screwed.

It has had all three done.
The trigger as been substantially changed as well. I honestly will not carry it loaded, that trigger is just too twitchy.

If you kill a soldier you take one soldier out of commission. If you wound a soldier you take him and two of his buddies out of the fight.
The MORE YOU KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I disagree.

Sure, but these weekend warriors don't do that.

It will kill them, just not ethically.
In my state those are not even legal, and are surely not ethical anywhere for deer size game. Unless you live in TX or another state with tiny deer.
Having hunted in TX I will say .300 winmag is powerful medicine on such tiny animals.
I shoot feral animals.
You come up with a better way to deal with hogs I would love to hear it. They destroy property, kill pets and displace native fauna.
The AR-15 being 5.56 is what makes it no good for hunting. Get a .308 or better. 5.56 is just too weak for good deer medicine.

You left out AOW (any other weapon).

Only when installed on the gun, or when you have the gun and the barrel and intent.
Otherwise all pistol barels would be illegal as they could be used on rifles with a little machining.
Only for Semis and ARs more specifically. For bolt guns the action is the gun. This is why you can have a mauser barrel shipped to your house, but not a barreled action.
There is no need to fabricate a lower out of metal, 3d printing does not change that. You can make one out of wood if you like.
3d printers are not capable of fabricating the high stress parts.
I think they left out the "without significant sporting purpose" clause. Those are NFA items.
You can either use plumbing pipe or buy one online.
Obviously the use of plumping pipe has accuracy repercussions but it can be a functional firearm if that is all you are going for.

Reading the article I see the summary is once again totally useless.
The issue is the manufacture of NFA weapons. 3d printing changes nothing about this, you cannot get or make NFA weapons without getting a stamp.

Make sure you ask for a refund.
That whooshing you just heard was the joke flying over your head.
You are aware Gates was a dropout right?
He made his business based on family connections at IBM.
So don't process it until you test a sample from the actual shipment. If they dont want to pay for treatment you send it back.
