Driving a car is dangerous. Do you plan to revoke your license. I’m not trying to be a dick, but you decided to take your family and leave this country for your own safety and now you are telling people because of potential danger that they should not protect themselves from actual threats to their lives.

Because nobody is printing those and using those that understands or knows anything or has done a any research whatsoever into the topic. I am trying to show you the distinction between 3D printed firearms and firearms that have been modified but still are assembled from factory parts. You are very incorrectly stating that a piece of shit plastic 100% polymer non-metal build and a factory assembled upper mounted on a 3D printed lower are the same thing. They are not.

Are you actually this incapable of understanding what I’m saying? The gun wasn’t 3D printed. Let’s try this another way. Imagine I take a Honda Accord from the Honda factory. Imagine I strip off all of the paneling and replace it with custom paneling that I made and or assembled or got from a panel kit. Is my Honda now 3D printed?. I didn’t replace the wheels. I didn’t replace the drivetrain. I didn’t replace the engine, it has the same naked frame. It rolled off the factory floor with.

No, I’m telling you that the tool that was made with precision was inserted into a plastic handguard that was 3D printed. The upper assembly and pressure bearing parts of the firearm were assembled in a factory

Try reading what I wrote again or you know maybe reading your own article first

Well you may have just moved to Britain but with your knowledge of handguns I would assume you were born there. Guns are dangerous tools. Yes. The kid didn’t shoot himself in the leg because of the 3D printed parts. He shot himself in the leg because he fumbled a partially assembled and cocked handgun that for some inexplicably stupid reason he had decided to load with a single round.

Due to a large amount of very stupid laws by a couple of different three-letter agencies, a handgun is actually defined as the frame that holds all the pressure bearing parts and not the pressure bearing parts themselves.

So he printed the hand grip basically and then put the upper assembly of a standard normal factory assembled upper of a firearm inside of that.

I feel you are misunderstanding me. I am not asking about hypotheticals where the police lie. I am saying that in a hypothetical where YOU can prove beyond the shadow of a doubt.

It’s not about rehabilitation or punishment. It’s about logistics. If there is a dog that repeatedly attacks other people, children and dogs and rehabilitation has failed. The only recourse would be to terminate that dog as it is unsafe for society for the dog to be allowed out. Sure, you could build a secure containment facility to house your inmate dog but at what cost. At that point you are then taking resources that could be better spent to help people in need to contain a problem that will not be solved. I am actually in agreement with you that it’s a far crueler punishment to keep somebody alive in a non autonomous position that they would hate.

Would you be for a death penalty in cases where you can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the person that is accused is the perpetrator? And by shadow of a doubt, I am not referring to the very loose standards that most law enforcement relies on. I mean that the person was caught in the act.
