Look, I am not about to join the NRA or even begin to use the arguments of the Nazi-adjacent gun-loving Right Wing But y'all need to get it together and learn what you're panicking about.

You should be panicking less about 3D printed shitty gun components and panicking more that real guns are dirt cheap and Nazis own a fucking lot of them and killed 100+ people last year.

Look, I mourn for Fred's loss, but I've been tracking the "3-D printed guns" story since Ars Technica first reported on it a few years ago. And the panic is not warranted.

This is a polymer 80% lower for a Glock. This is the kind of thing that will become "3D printable" in the next few days.pic.twitter.com/PY1f0UVUzf

As you can see, you can buy it for $150, and it is far higher quality material and construction than what a 3D printer puts out.

It is true that this part alone is untraceable (no serial #) and undetectable by a metal detector. However, it is still detectable by xray and backscatter devices. It is 100% legal and has been for a while. It also cannot shoot anything.

In order to make this work you need a firing pin assembly, a trigger assembly, a barrel, and a slide. Almost all of which are made out of steel alloy.pic.twitter.com/fw3q8qbXwU

This is the current status quo. Printing your own polymer lower changes nothing. It's not even illegal right now. No laws are changing. This is literally an energy sink.
