Comment Re:shooting projectiles = must ban (Score 2) 551

Because it's not about safety it's about intent. The Liberator is a gun that's it's intent, a nail gun is a construction tool that is it's intent. What you going to print out a Liberator for the aim of knocking in a few nails??? Or are you going to do print it out to shoot someone.

Once again you are like virtually everyone on this thread, deflecting the argument with pathetic, what /if's.

They wont because one is a "nail gun" the other is obviously a "gun" and intended as a weapon. Yet more deflection from the real argument.

Nail guns are designed NOT to be portable or as weapons. In the UK this was legislated into the manufacture of said nails guns because, criminals / builders / criminal builders / builder criminals were using them to hold up banks. Luckily we are not awash weapons otherwise I guess a AR14 would have done the job.

Geeze, Australia doesn't have this or that amendment to the constitution - Guys we ARE NOT a state of the USA. We have our own laws, and currently (legal) gun ownership is restricted. Frankly I believe that Australia is generally a safer place since the Howard government restricted legal gun ownership. Yes I know I'll be modded down and adversely commented on by those of you in the US who have the "right to bear arms", but frankly I don't give a flying fuck about your rights - I'm only interested in my rights and the safety of me and my family. So yes 3D printed guns should be banned here in oz. And I know that I'l get the storm of "yes but the crims and bikie gangs can get guns". Yes they can, and as far as I'm concerned they can go and shoot each other.

Yup same goes for here too in the UK. Getting sick and tired of libertarian, gun loving, rednecks. Whose right to 'bear arms' has been twisted to their own selfish, self centered aims. The sheer stupidity exhibited by SOME Americans is embarrassing.

As you have pointed out the excuses fly as to why we need even more guns, I've heard it here today

Make metal illegal too..

Fucking pathetic, you know there are other things make of metal apart from guns, you fuckwits. That is what you call deflection from the main argument. The others ones are;

but but zip guns are cheaper to make

.

It's not about the ability of criminals or undesirables to get their hands on guns, it's about the fucked up relationship the USA in general has with guns. We have legal restricted gun ownership here, as a result less deaths caused by guns. FACT, period.

Good guys with guns kill bad guys with guns

This expression and the like, it's like listening to a rather unintelligent 5 year old that's been watching too many crappy movies.

Or this absolute, classic that could only come from someone with brain damage

An armed society is a polite society. An unarmed society is a slaughter house

So yes I'm with you, don't want stupid pieces of plastic that can kill, ARE designed to kill. The sooner this, thick as pig shit, segment of the USA gets that into their stupid fucking heads the better.

P.S If you are going to call me a communist, which I'm not. You might want to consider that the rest of the world has already moved on from that phase. The only nation that still seems to be obsessed this communism is America.
