#1 A lot of this crap would go away if and when a real DoJ indicts pols for conspiracy to deny citizens of their Constitutional rights. Office doesn't give you immunity to strip citizens of those fundamental rights.

#2 and 3D-printing and milling machines.

And exactly how many homes are equipped with such machinery, and at what cost? A rebirth of the "Know Nothing" party.

#3 They don't object to guns, AC - they object to white privilege.

#4 Good point. I wonder what the actual cost of the printer and mill would be.

#5 The start up costs are pretty high. But the cost to put out product is very low so you can recoup it fairly quickly.

What cracks me up about this is anyone with a metal mill or press can crank out WWII style submachine guns at a high rate of speed for cheap and the instructions are already online.

Seems like the left kinda forgot about this in their hysteria.

#6 A Ghost Gunner computer-controlled mill will cost you around $1600. You can run it off a laptop

#7 It's a plastic .22 pistol. You can buy 3D printers for as low as $200. Wouldn't be caught dead firing one.

Even more interesting is when metallic 3D printers can be bought for $1000 (for the home hobbyist).

#8 A decent 3D printer costs roughly the same as a handgun. As others have said, you don't need CNC machines to make guns. Or even modern machine tools. Back in colonial times, we made guns without a 5-axis Bridgeport mill, guns good enough to kick some British ass.
