Don't you see this development as a step along the way towards eliminating any restrictions on gun ownership?
No. Anyone can already legally build a gun at home, this is no different other than the tool used to build it. Anyone with a CnC machine can download the programming and mill out a gun already.
Heck, hill people in Afghanistan can build a AK-47 with just a file, nothing you can do will stop people from building a gun if they want to put the effort in to do it.
So how many home built guns have been used in crimes?
back in the 1950s, I remember hearing about the gang members in New York and Chicago making .22 caliber "zip guns" out of pieces of tubing (car radio antennas were apparently a favorite). a block of wood. and a rubber band. Sure, it was likely to blow up in their hand, but sometimes they worked for several shots. Yes, it was a smooth bore, so it wasn't accurate over about 10 feet, but that was good enough for a street fight.
I know the antis don't want to admit it, but if a criminal wants a gun, he WILL get one, without buying it where he has to do a back ground check!
That's why gun control laws won't work: the criminal, by definition does not obey any laws!

I have no idea. Someone on here posted that in reality they don't work anyway. But my point was that anyone motivated enough to go through all the time and trouble of building their own gun is likely to be someone who cannot buy a gun legally, and/or is a gun nut. Exactly the people who shouldn't have guns.
Like the guy who is posting those 3-D plans on the web. He's some far-right survivalist nut. I saw him interviewed on the news.

So let's just get rid of all laws then, since criminals don't obey them anyway....

I saw him interviewed on the news as well. your perception of what is a nut and mine are 2 different things. i thought he was just fine.
some liberal loons are way out on mars with their tin foil hats.

Actually no.
The people who build them (I have myself) are hobbiests.
It's no different than restoring a hot rod.
Criminals will steal or buy stolen guns, they aren't much on the WORK required to end with a decent end product.
There are websites dedicated to these LEGAL HOBBIES. And despite your wish to illegally keep people from practicing their constitutional rights, the point which has already been stated is IT WON'T WORK.
Everyone I've ever met (and I've met dozens if not hundreds) who have 'rollled their own' have already owned firearms.
And I since you decide to ignore it... Being a far right nut is protected, just like your right to be a left wing loony is protected every day by men with guns.
Your welcome.

The interviewer asked him, "Well you do know that by posting these plans it means that a terrorist or a violent felon could use them to build a gun, and murder innocent people?" And his answer was along the lines of, yes I know that and I don't care. If I remember correctly he didn't believe in gun control of any kind. He's a nut.
