'Home-Made' Guns: NEW RESTRAINING ORDER:

One small current excitement - is all about the possibilities of 3D Printed GUNS .. but of course anyone with a hack-saw, file and a length of pipe has always been able to make something that will go Bang or KABOOM (at least once!).

Governments have been scrambling to impress by being seen DOING SOMETHING about it .. as if this technology will lead to the end of the world as we know it .. I read that neighbor-across-the-ditch Australia actually banned private ownership of the needed computer machinery or some such nonsensical new legislation. - Politicians are attracted - like flies to dung - to whatever the newspaper millionaires put on their front pages.

No doubt these designs will all go bang at least the first time they work - the issue here is one of mechanical, tensile  strength.

- As a smart Londoner once told me "Every practical problem has a practical solution - Your only REAL problem is people."

Affordable 3D printing machines use plastics about as strong as Chedder cheese.

 - A plastic (POLYMER) gun needs to be formed from high strength engineering plastics with metal re-enforcing in critical areas and will then function as required.

Of course it can be done .. check-out GLOCK and all the copies.

.. Cody Wilson has won his argument with the Feds and can again sell you plans on how to build his LIBERATOR  3D Printed gun designs.

CANCEL THAT !! U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik issued a temporary restraining order order Tuesday afternoon..

- Don't make one out of "chedder cheese" .. have you ever considered holding a 12 gauge shotgun cartridge in one hand while you hammer the back-end with an ice-pick? 😆

DON"T DO IT.

(Talking about 'Chedder Cheese' - The UK's Somerset Chedder Gorge and the Wookey Hole Caves used to be a lovely place to visit 50 years ago - I guess that it's now crawling with "Grockles' and costs 20 pounds an hour to park!

M.K.

I'm told that cannon don't require any licence ?? - So what about a model black-powder 45 caliber miniature fitted with a percussion cap?

An offensive weapon is anything that can be used to cause injury. - Under the Crimes Act

(link is external)- an 'offensive weapon' should only be carried with a lawful, proper and sufficient purpose. ?
