Why can't he use them? Does he not have any high ranking federal government officials within reasonable traveling distances?:)
No, it's because a 3D printed gun is not anywhere near as good as a gun made by a gunsmith. I guess if he has a need for a gun that will pass a metal detector or something (though a 3D printed gun probably wouldn't) then I guess he would find some actual use for one, but 3D guns are still not practical. If you want to shoot reliably, would you choose a 3D printed gun over something made by a professional?
Think about the cost of a 3D printer. Now think about the cost of a serious handgun (or as he said, an "assault rifle", though I doubt he knows what that actually is, or what it's for).
Can you think of a legitimate application for which a 3D-printed gun would be superior to a weapon made by a real gunsmith?
I drive a pick-up with a perfect paint job and I think your attitude is sterotypically elitist.
So, you see your truck as more of a "lifestyle" purchase than a utilitarian one? I'm genuinely curious, because I see a lot of people with big shiny pickups with cargo beds that have never been exposed to the elements, much less scratched by having something placed in them. Their towing hitches are perfectly chromed and have obviously never seen anything like a trailer.
I see some of them commuting into downtown Chicago for their jobs in the financial district and wonder what went into their decisions to purchase such vehicles.
Overcoming tribal belief sets, sometimes even nationwide backwater thinking, is one of the key obstacles to stemming the flow of disease on the African continent.
Tribal belief sets and backwater thinking is a problem in a lot of highly developed parts of the world too. (I'm looking at you, Southern USA)
But Most people want a car that looks fun and interesting and most electrics outside Tesla seem to have had designers who wouldn't know a good looking car if it drove over their foot.
Teslas won't get "fun and interesting" until they get cheap enough in a few years to start getting in the hands of the tuners.
Personally, I'm going to lower mine all around, give it some pneumatics and hang some big exhaust pipes off the back. Then, I'm going to get a recording of a 1969 Plymouth Super Bee and pipe it though the exhaust tips. I can't wait to see the faces of people at the stop lights.
GM deliberately lobbied for rules that were different from foreign markets to make it harder for foreign entrance into the US.
And that's why there are no longer foreign cars sold in the US.
The Ranger's not sold in the US because Ford closed the Minnesota plant where they built them and decided not to sell them in the US and the market for small pickups has tanked. Has nothing to do with "rules".
North America Plans Officially, Ford says it is still "all in" on investing and expanding the F-Series lineup for North America with a focus on new powertrains and improved fuel efficiency, but a midsize pickup doesn't fit into current plans.
"The compact pickup segment in the U.S. has been declining - from almost 8 percent of total industry sales in 1994 to 1.5 percent of industry sales in 2014," said Mike Levine, Ford truck communication manager. "The F-Series works best for customers in North America. The all-new 2015 Ford F-150 with the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 has better EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings than V-6-powered midsize pickups from Toyota and GM, as well as better payload and towing capability."
While other similarly sized midsize pickups sold in the U.S. and abroad have had different dimensions (the Toyota Hilux and Tacoma, and Nissan Frontier and Navarra come to mind), the new 2016 Ford Ranger seems to be both similar in size to some existing midsize pickups as well as too close in size to an F-150. Looking at the dimensions compared to the current Toyota Tacoma, we see the Ford Ranger is just a bit taller and longer while not quite as wide.
Our guess is that Ford will only green-light a new U.S. Ranger if it could build it economically, make it on a smaller platform, give it much better fuel efficiency than the F-150, and offer it with a much lower price tag. No matter how you look at it, that's an unlikely set of circumstances that needs to come into alignment.
What? No MRA conspiracy post? No violent invective hurled at imaginary manbabies?
Okay, okay. You want to hear a good one? I understand the MRAs have taken up the banner for noted floor-shitter Charles C Johnson. I'm wondering how this relates to Dean Esmay's oft-told story of his "red-pill moment" when he was a child and his mother forced him to take diarrhea medicine, which was when he became an MRA. I mean...Charles C Johnson. Even gamergate won't come out in support of Charles C Johnson, and they'll hop on the dick of anyone who doesn't holler at them. Old Captain Kirk himself name-checked GG - once - and they've spent the last two days posting porn on his twitter feed. So it's shocking that when asked about Charles C Johnson, they said, "naw man, we'll pass. let the MRAs mess with Charles C Johnson. Dude shit on the floor!"
Do you see a pattern here? Is there a connection between bad experiences with potty-training and becoming a men's rights activist?
Also, here is an unretouched photo of noted MRA leader Dean Esmay, which will give you an idea of how he got to be a "man who goes his own way".
There, you beta wussy MRA. Are you happy now that you made me spend 3.5 minutes typing that? Never say I don't take care of my fans. I hope you pause from jacking off into a sock long enough to thank me.
Titan has the possibility of extraterrestrial life, the finding of which would mark one of the biggest discoveries in the history of the human race and end all doubts that we are alone in the universe. Pluto is a cold rock on the outskirts of the solar system. Which one would you rather investigate?
The battle flag was originally the flag of the "Army of Northern Virginia", and designed by William Porcher Miles. Not that he's any better, since he referred to slavery as the divine institution, and explicitly refuted the notions states in the Declaration of Independence, such as natural rights (which makes the use of that flag by Tea Partiers and their ilk even more hilarious).
I have a hard time keeping my racist Confederate flag designers straight.
When asked to comment on today's Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, God said, "The US is going to pay for this once the caliphate, I mean...Jesus comes back to straighten things out. It's like, what were they thinking giving human rights to corporations? What's that? This is about same sex marriage? Nah, I don't give a fuck. Peoples is peoples. Good for them."
Zeus could not be reached for comment, since he had transformed himself into a bull in order to have sex with Europa without his wife Hera finding out.
So from the growing more, getting more perspective, we are using less.
Only among GMO proponents does using more = using less.
When it ends up in you water supply, more = more. Just ask the people who live where pesticide/herbicide runoff has made their water unusable even for bathing, much less drinking.

When I'm twerking, I can get up to 1750 per hour. But let me tell you, it's not pretty.
Clearly, you've never watched me play video games. My wife says watching me play makes her tired.
Where I grew up, we had our dick contests using our dicks. And let me tell you, that river's not only cold, but it's deep, too.

Why not print something you can use?

And that was more than half a century ago.
I suppose it was inevitable. My sex robot is going to make me sleep on the couch.
I may have to go back to doing things manually.

I visited Burlington in May and I have to agree that there is a very special kind of BMW driver in Vermont.

Whichever one has a Steak'n'Shake.
Personally, I am outraged over all the social media outrage about outrage.
Wait, should I be counting the number of "outrages" the way you count minus signs in an equation? I DON'T FUCKING CARE, I AM OUTRAGED.
Anyway, what else do they think social media is for, except to express outrage? And cat pics, of course, but I find those kind of outrageous.
It wouldn't be the first time. Isn't one of the founders of Greenpeace now shilling for oil companies or something?
I have a hard time keeping my racist Confederate flag designers straight.
But it will make for some very amusing Darwin Awards.
Cool. When I was at university, all I made was a bong out of a half-gallon milk bottle.
It was a pretty sweet bong, though.
