#StopFascistHelicopterMoms
24th July 2018
Starting in August, anyone with access to a 3D printer can yet again download the blueprints to print their own firearms at home. In response, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America launched an online campaign to “#StopDownloadableGuns.”
The gun-grabbers would if they could, and the government would back them up, but that trick didn’t work. Adding a bunch of do-it-our-way ‘moms’ isn’t going to have any effect other than to vent some spleens.
The anti-gun group’s link also asserted that the availability of the blueprints “would enable terrorists, convicted felons, and domestic abusers to download schematics online and print their own illegal and untraceable guns.”
Criminals don’t have the time for that, any more than they’ve got time (or brains) to build their own getaway cars. As with vehicles, they buy them from friends or fences, or steal them.
The Moms Demand Action post links to a Everytown for Gun Safety petition to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to “stop the release of downloadable files that will allow people, including convicted felons and terrorists, to make untraceable guns on their 3D printers.”
Well, to begin with, that’s not in the job description of the Secretary of State. They might want to try the Secretary of Defense or the Attorney General. From what I know of all three of these men, they’re just wasting their time and getting some Virtue-Signalling Pokemon Points — which I suspect is the point.
In 2013, Wilson was told by the State Department’s Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance to take the blueprints for his “Liberator” gun offline. In 2015, Wilson sued the government.
According to CNN, the settlement states Wilson can yet again post his blueprints online.
So they’re asking the State Department to do something that has already lost in the courts. Like most proglodytes, they keep wishing until it becomes true, I guess.
I can make a gun out of a piece of pipe, a spring, and a nail. It’s called a ‘zip gun’ and has been used by gangs since before World War II. These ‘moms’ need to get out more.
