I would have thought the little foot prints in the dust would have been a giveaway, but hey, I guess the eyesight isn't what it used to be.

I withdrew a bunch of $2s from local bank branch the other week.
many people actually think they're fake.

I think they should get rid of $1 bill, but increase minting of $1 coin, and increase printing of $2 bill.
(and get rid of penny, but that's another story)

Fun fact: Ducks were originally called Dicks up until movable type was introduced. A typo was made in printing the dictionary that year and the mistake wasn't discovered until years later. It was never corrected but was accepted to avoid embarrassing the printer.

Print up some fancy boxes and stuff them full of crumpled up tissues and sell them for $80 a pop. what a great idea.

It's pretty clear the governments can't get their shit together, so it is up to us as individuals to drive the change.

If you want to do your part to combat climate change, then any reduction in products that come from animal farming is going to decrease your carbon (and methane) foot print.

e.g. Go for the bean burrito with guac or tahani dressing, instead of a beef and cheese burrito.

Go for the coconut/soy/almond ice cream instead.

Watch the COWSPIRACY documentary on Netflix, and look up Dr. Richard Oppenlander speaking to the EU parliament.

Well....I guess they don't exist then....I took some (sad, they won't get off the bottom) pictures with my kindle, but can't for the life of me find the file to upload it. It wants me to share it through it's photo app which only lets me email them, print them, or upload to Amazon....I can't copy and paste it for some reason, even after emailing it to myself.
Not having a real computer sucks.

I was thinking it must only work in one direction, but you have a point, it seems to work best from only one single point. I wonder if it could be designed to work from any viewpoint. Somebody get Watson working on it....he might have to design holographic tile printing first.
Still a *quality idea.

A shocking lack of regulation. Shameful, really.

I'd wager people crazy enough to plaster their vehicles with extreme fringe political stickers probably just print their own. Otherwise some goddamn globalist sticker company might track their purchases! They'd be in a deep state sticker database!

There have been ample warnings, in print, online and on radio, about the exact time of the alert.

I think there are 3 real issues with 3D printed guns that are genuinely new dangers worth being concerned about.

1. They completely avoid background checks.

2. They're untraceable to a gun seller.

3. They could lead to relatively inexpensive and unregistered fully automatic weapons.

It does seem that plastic guns are not worth worrying about because they're so terrible. But, metal shaping CNC Mills aren't that expensive and can do a decent job of printing guns at home.

I can't really buy the argument that no one will be interested in printing out machine guns because of the existing criminal penalties. If someone is planning a murder or bank robbery or terrorist attack, they're already expecting a life sentence if they're caught. And, even if they plan to get away with it, a gun that can do the job really well, has no history to trace, and can be destroyed or disposed of right after could just make the crime easier to get away with.

The tricky thing about full auto is that most people avoid it primarily because of the severe penalties. Simply owning one that isn't registered and taxed is opening yourself to up to 10 years in federal prison plus a fine of up to 250k. If you commit a crime with one, they will hit you for the crime and the NFA penalty.

It isn't difficult at all to modify most current semi auto rifles into full auto. Heck, some of the older ones like the SKS can actually duplicate full auto fire by accident via slamfire. People don't do it because of the heavy penalty if you get caught, but it 'is' doable.

Of course, that doesn't take into account international concerns over automatic weapons, where access is usually limited to the military style rifles.

As an aside, you will see people here exploit loopholes like the bump stock to simulate full auto because they can't be subject to the NFA. Personally I think that is a bigger issue than printable guns, at least in the US. I think we still have something like 400-500k of those still floating around. To me it is far more of a 'sky is falling' issue than plastic printed guns, but that's just me.

Good point, but not exactly right.
Plastic guns, yeah, not so scary here in the U.S. where anyone can get an unregistered gun in hours, but in other countries where guns are rare, this gives criminals access to better weapons than the general public, or in many cases better than average police carry.
Also-
There are both 3d printers that can print metal and the guy putting the plans out has a business making small cnc milling machines that can mill guns from his plans in steel. That means these guns can be exactly the same quality as licenced manufacturers make. I would bet there are or will be plans for fully automatic weapons as well.
