Yes this is going to sound like something out of the latest Mission Impossible film, but it’s a reality. A user by the name of “HaveBlue” constructed the lower receiver of an AR-15 using a 3D printer. The lower receiver is the section of the weapon that is considered the “firearm” as also has a serial number affixed to it, should it be purchased alone or complete with upper. You could call this a “home brewed AR-15,” and it will definitely get under the skin of gun grabbing liberals like Michael Bloomberg. What’s interesting is that the lower is made out of ABS plastic. The design called for steel so HaveBlue had to reinforce some of the areas of the firearm. He then printed the design to an older model Statasys 3D printer and used a conversion kit for a .22 pistol. While some said the part would fail and could cause him serious injury, HaveBlue put the unit to a test, firing some 200 rounds with no problems. He then stepped it up a notch and added a full metal upper and shot some .223 rounds. His design has held up well and shows no sign of major wear. Making guns yourself is not illegal as long as you don’t sell or distribute them. Oh I’m sure the libs are going to have a hay day with this one! As for those of us who are conservative and love the Second Amendment, the 3D printers have serious potential for us to guard our Second Amendment rights well into the future. With technology advancing the way it is, the cost of these kinds of printers will obviously become less and less expensive. Guns are no the only possibility with these devices either. Tools, skeletal implants and all kinds of prototypes can be manufactured relatively cheap. While this is not the first 3d printed gun part, it very well could be the first one that has been made into a fully working firearm. So what is the result?

I knew someone would do this. I want a 3D printed machine gun.
How about an engine block? I could use a new one right about now.
I used to prepare taxes and one guy wanted his refund check faxed to him. I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.
You might want to hang on to that bad boy. “Anti-semitism is a disease–you catch it from Jews”–Edgar J. Steele “The jew cries out in pain, as he strikes you.”–Polish proverb “I would like to express my heartfelt apologies for the unfortunate and tasteless quotes I published in my tag lines. I am very sorry and ashamed. I never wanted to offend anyone, or to encroach human rights."- Hmmmmm
There is a machine gun shoot every year in Kentucky. I know a guy who goes there every year. He is a manufacturer in Illinois. He makes Austrian-style FALs. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
You sure they can do that? I know that the gooberment wants everyone who gets SSI to have their benefits put on a Direct Express Mastercard. They want to do away with those paper checks. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Some banks have a deposit from home feature where using a scanner allows the customer to send in a deposit over algore's internet. I trust this method much more than I trust the USPS to not lose my mail. I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them ~ Thomas Jefferson
Save your brass & stock up on primers. You sure they can do that? All of us laughed at him because it was like asking for cash to be faxed to him. Maybe these days it's possible. I sense a disturbance in the farce. Much gnashing will ensue.
