Would you bet your life on this?

I support the 2nd Amendment so I don't have to bet my life on it.

I saw in Wiki that glass ceramic firing pins were used in some land mines.

Good luck in finding one suitable for a 3D pistol.

It is highly likely you can buy thin ceramic/porcelain rod.

Yep. These guys sell ceramic rods if you're able to machine one into a firing pin.

Rather, this case concerns the Department of State’s delegated authority to control the export of defense articles and services, or technical data related thereto, that raise military or intelligence concerns.

And yet Hillary is running around making millions in speeches advocating 'resistance'.  The 'export' of sensitive materials was likely on her bathroom server, and apparently none of that raised military or intelligence concerns in the government.

But a schematic for a 3D printed gun that some civilian might make? ..... WHY - TREASON!

I would assume one can just shear (score and break) it to length without actually machining it. The pin is normally trapped so it doesn't have to have ridges or groves to function though you can likely glue (or maybe fire) a retaining ring on it. Lots of possibilities.

The people who are making these aren't doing it to make a weapon to use but are making a point about the government infringing on rights and that technology can't be stopped.


How is the govt going to find them? Are they going to go around monitoring for tempest emanations from 3D printers printing out guns?

There going to go after anyone who hosts the design on a computer connected to the Web. Treat it like child porn.

My concern is they are going after All 3D printed gun downloads even though they say they are against people making the plastic “undetectable” firearms.

My interest is in printing PLA gun patterns via a 3D printer to be used in "Lost PLA Casting" to produce gun parts in metal.

Generally speaking when government start putting people in jail for communicating technical knowledge/know how we've crossed the Rubicon. It is just another form of book burning.
