American legislation towards guns is going to take a sudden, sharp turn as soon as 3D printed receivers become a genuine alternative.
We're not quite there yet, but we're dangerously close. There's already dudes selling shitty quality 3D printed receivers that aren't as good as a properly manufactured gun but are a lot better than a zip gun and are still a real gun.
The only difference is quality and reliability, they still shoot bullets.
That will change with refinement over time as 3D printing improves and gets cheaper
Once 3D printing receivers gets even close to par with manufactured receivers, suddenly the gun manufacturers that run the gun lobby see a threat to their profits. Suddenly, there needs to be an impetus for laws to exist to hamper the "danger" these 3D printed guns present, regardless of how real or not that danger is.
Gun laws in the US will change in the next 5-10 years, but it will be because the gun manufacturers are scared of losing money.
Anyone who is interested in manufacturing their own firearm can do so right now. There is nothing stopping me from buying an aluminum block and renting a CNC to turn it into a receiver, using a lathe and rifling bit to turn a rod into a barrel, and then putting it together to create a firearm. The only restriction is that I can't "be in the business of selling firearms" (BATFE has a metric ton of leeway in interpreting what this actually means, and they have historically been pretty anti civilian firearm ownership in enforcement) and I can't create an NFA firearm without applying for a tax stamp from the BATFE.
Also finding a shop that will let a random dude come in and run programs producing a firearm. That first 3D printed one got stalled initially because Stratysys stopped renting them printer time because they wanted no part of it. I'd expect a lot of makerspaces to have similar attitudes about renting CNC time for that.
That's ignoring the fair amount of skill involved in all that.
It was pretty common until a couple of years ago to do "build parties". A group of people would get together, rent time on a CNC at a local shop or manufacturer, purchase kits and learn how to build the rifles. AFAIK they died down after the BATFE started talking about the people participating "being in the business of manufacturing and selling arms".
One time I was in line at the grocery store and a lady spilled something on herself in line and she was holding a baby and she turned to me like "AAH sorry can you hold him for a sec??!!" and I was like "aa AA WHAT A BABY WHAT DO I DO WITH IT UH CAN YOU JUST GIVE IT TO HIM HE'S GOOD WITH KIDS" and indicated Pinecone, baby extraordinaire, beside me, because I have not had much contact with babies in many years and also it was sticky?? and Pinecone put his arms up to accept the baby and the lady looked mortified and said "UGH nevermind!" and checked out without cleaning herself up and it was super awkward
>:(
This has happened to my wife and I, almost identically
My wife despises children and babies. She's fine with them, and isn't incapable of interacting with them, but finds them unpleasant. I'm good with kids! But the woman defaulted to asking my wife to hold her child as she dealt with whatever and then asked me to help her with the issue she was having, and given I have a bad back and bending down is hard for me and my wife hates holding babies, this is the opposite of optimal!
So my wife offered to reverse that, and the woman sneered "Nevermind" and asked two store clerks for help.
what if we replaced all babies' arms with guns after they are born
With the trump thing depressing gun sales I think we could get some NRA lobby money on this one

I mean yeah a bunch of people tried to make multi shot muzzleloaders but you don't see a lot of them in cool historical movies because most of them never worked.
I just arranged to meet new people for climbing since my regular group is unavailable today.
I was very close to just deciding to go bouldering by myself because meeting new people sucks, but bouldering sucks more, and I am in fact able to meet new people despite this petulant inner voice yelling 'but I'm an introvertttttttttttttt' because really, just fucking deal.
Bouldering is cooler tho
I'm pretty bad at it (like, can only do V1s. mayyyyybe occasional v2 but usually not), and I'm definitely really afraid of falling, and often wimp out and don't try the last couple of moves at the top. In a way it's cool because it forces me to conquer my fear, and I do appreciate that; and of course it looks great when you can do it (but I don't look too impressive climbing my V1s, is the thing).
It's more fun to push my limits in a safer environment while toproping--I'm willing to try more things at the border of my ability because it's more secure.

I am also always confused when people think I will know what to do with babies
like
there is no one younger than my youngest brother in my family at all, whatsoever, and we are only a few years apart, so the last time I was ever regularly around a baby I had any hand whatsoever in looking after was like............ 13 years ago?? I used to babysit the boys some but that pretty much entirely consisted of making sure we all had something semi reasonable for dinner.
My opinion has been that the US left should just give up on gun laws for like... a while.
The reason it's always really stupidly targeted 'assault weapon' bans is that's all that could pass constitutional muster.
If we wanted to curtail gun deaths we need to ban pistols, and to ban pistols we need to amend the constitution, and that's not happening any time soon.
We should attack it from the other side and work on getting more people mental health services and getting more people out of poverty.
I don't even know many liberals that want weapon bans.
They all want better mental health and screenings instead. Just like.. skip the screening part for a few decades, let the GOP fuck themselves sideways, get mental health stuff added to the ACA and move in with single payer and then win the game.
I mean
I personally want a pistol ban
I am the spooky liberal that wants to take your guns away
I think the country would be better off for it.
But I also don't think it's politically feasible and there are better things to do with our political resources
DC v Heller, while setting precedent for self defense with pistols, doesn't foreclose pistol regulation
But, when cities try to regulate, its always straight up de jure ban (or de facto ban) instead of like, a city ordinance mandating strict training standards
A half ban would be worse IMO
This is America after all so you'd end up with the requirements being selectively enforced against minorities.
...i think I agree with you there? That's what the may-issue CPL schemes were
Yeah it's fucked up when the people most likely to be victims of violent crimes are the ones that bear the brunt of this kind of thing.

Yup. Washington DC has some not great parts of town - Heller had a good set of plaintiffs. Interestingly, the the holding was extended to pistols and not just long guns due to equal protection concerns about handicapped and elderly persons not able to use a long gun.

American legislation towards guns is going to take a sudden, sharp turn as soon as 3D printed receivers become a genuine alternative.
We're not quite there yet, but we're dangerously close. There's already dudes selling shitty quality 3D printed receivers that aren't as good as a properly manufactured gun but are a lot better than a zip gun and are still a real gun.
The only difference is quality and reliability, they still shoot bullets.
That will change with refinement over time as 3D printing improves and gets cheaper
Once 3D printing receivers gets even close to par with manufactured receivers, suddenly the gun manufacturers that run the gun lobby see a threat to their profits. Suddenly, there needs to be an impetus for laws to exist to hamper the "danger" these 3D printed guns present, regardless of how real or not that danger is.
Gun laws in the US will change in the next 5-10 years, but it will be because the gun manufacturers are scared of losing money.
Anyone who is interested in manufacturing their own firearm can do so right now. There is nothing stopping me from buying an aluminum block and renting a CNC to turn it into a receiver, using a lathe and rifling bit to turn a rod into a barrel, and then putting it together to create a firearm. The only restriction is that I can't "be in the business of selling firearms" (BATFE has a metric ton of leeway in interpreting what this actually means, and they have historically been pretty anti civilian firearm ownership in enforcement) and I can't create an NFA firearm without applying for a tax stamp from the BATFE.
Also finding a shop that will let a random dude come in and run programs producing a firearm. That first 3D printed one got stalled initially because Stratysys stopped renting them printer time because they wanted no part of it. I'd expect a lot of makerspaces to have similar attitudes about renting CNC time for that.
That's ignoring the fair amount of skill involved in all that.
It was pretty common until a couple of years ago to do "build parties". A group of people would get together, rent time on a CNC at a local shop or manufacturer, purchase kits and learn how to build the rifles. AFAIK they died down after the BATFE started talking about the people participating "being in the business of manufacturing and selling arms".
Link?
I have to believe in a lot of those cases that the shop knew whoever was organizing the build party. It is real easy to fuck up a program in a CNC and create huge damage to it in a heartbeat.

You can still get 80% lowers from pretty much anywhere, complete with jig and bits and DIY. Pistols too, several companies make 80% polymer Glock lowers, you just add the metal parts, none of which are regulated.
Unless we all get personal shields or 1984'd, private gun ownership in the US is highly unlikely to go anywhere. Restricted and different, yes. Totally gone? No way.

There was one dude in our dorm who had rich parents, hated condoms, and lacked any self control.
He once noted he had a plan B budget of $300/month
This is double horrifying because like
Do you preemptively tell the girl that plan B is plan A?
Or are you just like "no it's fine" followed by "now that you're full of semen let's see about pills"
The dude was not particularly concerned with repeat visits and also had a predatory fetish for innocent girls/virgins.
I dunno he was a friend of a friend and dogshit at DOTA but somehow kept getting dragged into our games.
So about 9.2 on the fucked up scale
He had a long term girlfriend once who went everywhere with him but refused to speak to anybody but him. During a game of Cards Against Humanity she would tell him what she voted for and then he'd pick it. They broke up because after successfully convincing her to get rid of one dog because it was too much of a hassle, they got another a couple weeks later and he couldn't deal with the effort.

On babies:
This weekend I will be around family with lots of tiny people, from my 4 year old nephew to ... I'm not sure which is newer? Two of my cousins gave birth basically back to back, and they'll both be there. There should be five or 6 people from the age 4 and under, anyway. I will frequently be called upon to be a child minder, because I have displayed a capacity for holding two infants while corralling a toddler, which is a handy and challenging skill to develop.
On guns:
I do sort of have a problem with pistols, but I understand wanting them for home defense and / or for shooting down at the range. Shotguns and rifles I'm cool with as long as we limit their ability to spit out rounds rapid-fire. And of course in general I'd like there to not be carrying in public, but I'm one of those weirdos that prefers open carry to concealed carry. If there's a gun around, I like to know about it!
I do also possess the belief, though, that as long as I'm not shot in the head or neck, I'll probably survive a single gunshot wound, as long as it's from a reasonable-sized caliber. I don't anticipate being shot, but possessing that belief lets me feel slightly safer around other people who are handling guns. Outside of a gun range or hunting trip, I probably would not handle or possess a gun myself. Home defense is not really a factor I consider, and my primary home defense tactic is a) yelling real loud, b) fleeing, or c) coming at you like a spider monkey, in that order of preference >_>

Though I guess one is no longer even close to a babb, soy is a full on kid jeez
...you really want to give a toddler a working gun?
