    I'm now sure by the time he makes it to trial, they'll have him painted as a psychotic, drug dealing child abuser.

    I am not understanding what you are trying with " our media is operated by the type of people that has a vested interest in making sure there is no encouragement to knock off the shittest of our CEO's"

    Are you implying that people are "encouraged to knock off the shittiest of CEOs" ?

    The double negative seems to indicate that is what you are posting?

    Yes, but that is not the type of "carbon fiber" that is 3D printed.

    Most of the printed "carbon fiber" is carbon reinforced PLA spooled filament. That is much different than what is in your link.

    Maybe his is roomy in Sing Sing won't be so bothered by the bad back and his roomy will help him with his horizontal exercises? Roomy will do all the work....

    Might be why it jammed.

    Some of the carbon reinforced filaments (i.e PETG) may be able to make something that works for a couple of rounds.

    Heat would be the worst enemy very quickly.

    I was talking about the baffles. The link was to show the body which was made by a manufacturer. I was just showing that with some parts and an assist from a 3D printer you could make a suppressor. You could probably make a better suppressor out of an old Maglite. Do you remember Mitch Werbell and his company SIONICS?

    Do I have to really walk people through this?

    Hypothetically, if the shooter is continued to be treated as a "Robin Hood" and ultimately is not convicted because 1/12 jurors refuse to find him guilty...

    Our press is owned by CEOs that are not that dissimilar from the one that was just murdered. How do you think the press is going to treat this shooter in the two+ years running up to a Jury trial?

    I am saying they will take extra effort to make sure his public image is sufficiently contaminated to guarantee a guilty conviction. Imagine a highly publicized murder like this, with continued treatment as Robin Hood, the killer going free... what is that telling the CEOs, as well as the next group of wanna-be "vigilante"?

    They will NOT let that happen, end of story. I expect any unsubstantiated rumor about this guy to be heavily published as fact.

    Fact: The average American reads on the 7th grade school level.

    My take: 1 out of 4 Americans are clinically mentally ill. Stick to groups of three or less.

    The frame is 3d printed. The slide, barrel and slide rails are metal and generally generic Glock parts. They work just as well as a polymer80. The frame can be low grade PLA. I have made a few and have run over 100 rounds on a frame before it starts to crack and jams the slide. There is no catastrophic failure endangering the shooter.


    The silencer can be 100% printed or a printed tube to house washers or other metal parts. They can last about a magazine before it starts to deform from the heat. There are plans and files openly available on github, thingiverse or other 3d printing file website.

    This tech is so entry level and available.


    So is microcenter now going to be required to get an FFL and run background checks when 3d printers are sold?

    There are political elements that are demanding just that. Thankfully, I don't see it on the horizon tomorrow, but eventually they'll succeed in either requiring background checks or "ai enabled gun part detection" or full on big-brother integration.

    I would not be surprised at all to see them otherwise affected in other ways, such as how laser printers have to secretly print #'s in tiny font on everything (originally required under the guise of helping to identify counterfeiters). Fortunately, a FDM isn't capable of really doing that yet. But a nicer resin printer might be capable of a covert micro-fingerprint of some kind even today - although China probably isn't integrating that tech yet for the US Gov, anyway.

    I guess they could embed a microchip into the plastic, like a microchip (RFID) in a pet. Add that to gun detection AI of the future along with explosive sniffers, IR cameras etc.
