I'm pretty sure that this is the criminal code in all of the US and probably most of the world. If you are firing a gun you are responsible for where the round goes. If you are shooting it up in the air or at some random target then there is a very real risk that you will kill an innocent bystander. You don't carry a gun to make threats. If someone is doing something bad enough to deserve being shot then shoot them, otherwise, keep your gun in it's holster and move to somewhere safer.
This ^^^
People have watched too much tv where they shoot warning shots. It doesn't happen that way in real life. Anyone with a gun should know that you are not allowed to shoot warning shots.
Warning shots are illegal and dangerous. A gun is deadly force. If someone needs to be shot then shoot them, Don't fire the gun in a random direction and kill an innocent person.
Which means he can get another gun. I'll bet he has one by tomorrow and that the people around him do too. The "black guys" as you put it will get a bullet in the chest just like Martin did but there won't need to be a trial since it will be obvious self defense.
A smart gun will only be viable if it provides something else besides a lock on the function of the gun. For example, http://tracking-point.com/ adds something people might want (but maybe not at the current price.) Electronics in the gun could in some cases be beneficial but it's hard to imagine any scenario where it made a gun more reliable since most modern handguns are pretty damn close to being 100% reliable. Without a great new feature smart guns will go nowhere and even with some sort of magical new feature they probably still have little chance of success.
I'll give you the stupid population, but the part about cutting education down to nothing is simply not true. Spending in the US is only down about 4% from the peak of 2009. The avg spending (2011) was $10,560 per pupil and is higher than everywhere else in the world.
This is my only concern with the saw. If false triggering could $170 or so on rare occasions would be bad but not nearly as bad as amputated fingers (or worse.) How wet does the wood have to be to trigger it?
I"m not sure this is true. I purchased my Delta Unisaw before the sawstops were available but if i was available i probably would have bought one. If i owned a cabinet shop or other business with employees using table saws i would definitely use one. The saw isn't all that more expensive and table saw related injuries are pretty common (and nasty.) Unlike the "safe gun", i think the sawstop is an improvement over a normal table saw.
Use of legal machine guns in crimes is extraordinarily rare. The only time i know of was back in 1988 and it was a cop that killed a drug dealer/informant.
Why don't you just answer the question. If there isn't a law against it then it isn't illegal.
Just do a google search. The formula is out there all over the place.
If he meant semi-automatic then you are right, but if it was really an automatic AK (as in machine gun) it was definitely illegal unless he was a licensed manufacturer with SOT tax paid. There are exceptions for building machine guns for govt agencies, but that never happens.
Not the greatest is an understatement. I have one almost like that from harbor freight (the geared head one.) The round column sucks. Mine sits in the corner until i need to drill something. You are probably better off with one of the small mills they sell and converting it to cnc.
AK receivers are easy to make but you still need the parts kits for the barrel, bolt, bolt carrier and fire control but they are getting harder to find and expensive. The home depot 12 guage only needs shotgun shells and easily obtainable pipe, bolts, etc.
I think it's more of a finger to the man than the way things are going in the future. Since you need to have some metal to be legal it makes a lot of sense to make the barrel/bolt/bolt extension out of metal and the rest out of something printed. Also, there was recently news about how GE is making parts for jet engines using 3d printing (laser sintering of titanium i think.) It's only a matter of time until the technology filters down.

How many times do we have to tell you? Never go full retard.
Did you even read the article? The infection is all over the wold. Brazil, Iran, China, etc.

There are lots of products that do this for exchange. I would bet that it's a security issue or they just don't want the feature.

If the husband was a threat she should have shot him.

He's correct about the numbers of deaths by bludgeoning vs assault rifles. The numbers are very low. Most of the killings are by handguns. You can easily google for it but here is one source: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2013/jan/18/facebook-posts/facebook-post-says-more-people-were-murdered-knive/

I use it as well and it works great.

What specific law bans the publishing of the instructions to make meth?

Good luck trying to make a bolt and trunion by hand. I know some of the tribes in Pakistan do it but it's way beyond the ability of most people.
That's the whole point of this exercise. They are printing the receiver. That way you don't have to ask permission to get a gun.
Nice idea, but it doesn't keep you out of prison. Better to pick a fight you can win than be a martyr for the cause.
