3D Printed Guns: Good or Bad?

People are the problem not the guns. I like guns. I enjoy shooting them and sleep good at night. I hear a bump in the night and do not worry about being a statistic on the 6 pm news. Most people I have ever spoken to about guns, have never even fired one and know only what the Yahoo splash page tells them. Alcohol and cars kill 1600 people a night in the US. Drug interaction from Dr's kill more people then guns. Diabetes, heart disease and cigarettes kill more people then guns. Yet, you do not hear that negative because they are the paid sponsors of the advertising machine that is bought and paid for. Guns are good and so is fire, as long as you use them wisely.

Everyone has a right not to protect themselves, don't get involved in stopping others from protecting their interest, if you don't want to protect yourself, call the police, file a complaint that you've been Robbed, Raped, caught in a Flash Mob, put yourself at a disadvantage against criminals. This helps them get away from the crime scene quicker. The police like it too, because they arrive only to draw the CHALK OUTLINE, and it takes a half a day to file a police report, that's a union Thang that means they get paid to be inside the police station, where its safe to filling out the paper work, you have a God's given right to be a victim...

I think a gun printer is going to be more for malicious conduct then say a person who purchases a real one, by going thru the proper channels. With that being a sobering fact that more and more law breakers (un registered) guns being in the hands of those who did not go thru the proper channel. However a real illegal gun is as easy to buy as was a 12pk of beer when I was 16yrs old. It is that much more reason a law abiding citizen (such as myself) should carry. Do you want to be the victim of a group of huddled mass in a convenience store with nothing but a prayer? Or would you rather a guy like me pull out a 9mm and tell the assailant to drop it, run, or Bang! The fact is Guns are here, they are never going away. By taking them away from law abiding citizens will only increase the chances of becoming a victim. Let me prove it. Make a sign that says " I do not own a gun" Place it in your front yard. Would you rather the reasonable suspicion or doubt about you and your defense. when is the last time you heard a cop bar being robbed? (Maybe because the reasonable suspicion that there prob is a guy in there who may shoot back) I realize this is a heated subject as is God and so forth. However, logic and proof do prevail. The day we all turn in our guns is the day I do too. But then there is Mexico in 1971 they removed guns from the general public. Now the only ones with guns are the law breakers, and so called lawmen. As these Cartels come in and shoot the farmers, rape their kids steel their crops, they have nothing but harsh words and rocks to throw at these law breakers. The Govt down there has a lot of corruption, (Imagine that) dirty cops & Politicians. The powers that be in Mx. went as far as to say; these farmers are vigilantes, calling them law breakers. The same Gov't in-charge are Cartel supporters, paid off like lobbyists do US Politicians. However, some of those guns being used by those cartels were given to them by Eric Holder, in operation Fast and Furious. With that example above the USAG breaking the law, why would I give my trust to such an entity? I will bow out of this before it gets into the ridiculous. Think wisely, when one man loses a right, we all lose a right. Again anyone can make a gun in their garage. I did when I was a kid "Called a Zip Gun" Nothing new under the sun. I used mine for a short time to goof around and plink in the Forrest. 40yrs ago I am sure that Printer and supplies are much more then it would cost for your go into a store and buy a quality handgun. That can shoot more then one shot. However they are out there, will be out there and by the wrong people. Do we out law printers, like cars and alcohol or do we play it safe?
