Make Your Own Guns And Magazines With 3D Printer
Federal legislation has already been introduced to ban making your own weapons and magazines with 3D printers.
Wikiweps is a Defense Distributed project, a space for the collaborative production and sharing of knowledge related to printable firearms and their manufacture. As word of the WikiWep project has grown, the most consistent contributions we’ve received have been from engineers, firearm enthusiasts and hobbyists offering their takes and critiques on the problems posed by our goal: a fully-functioning firearm printed from thermoset.
Defense Distributed is a pending 501(c)(3) status nonprofit corporation in the state of Texas, organized and operated exclusively for charitable and literary purposes.
The specific purposes for which this corporation is organized are: To defend the civil liberty of popular access to arms as guaranteed by the United States Constitution and affirmed by the United States Supreme Court, through facilitating global access to, and the collaborative production of, information and knowledge related to the 3D printing of arms; and to publish and distribute, at no cost to the public, such information and knowledge in promotion of the public interest.
Defense Distributed is awaiting its manufacturing Federal Firearms License (FFL) and special occupational taxpayer stamp (SOT) before it begins testing Wiki Weapon concepts.
What just a few months ago was dismissed as a pipe dream or wishful thinking has today become a reality that will no doubt take the gun control debate, not just nationally but worldwide, to a whole new level.
Infowars.com has been reporting on this 3D printing innovator’s amazing work over the last few months. As Infowars breaks this story online, we wonder if the dinosaur press will realize the incredible significance of this — this technological development will circumvent unconstitutional magazine bans and could end the huge shortages we’re seeing. The future is now.
In November’s issue of Infowars Magazine, they wrote about Defense Distributed, a non-profit thinktank experimenting with the revolutionary technology of desktop 3D printing.
Defense Distributed’s goal is to provide a website that anyone in the world could visit to download the files needed to literally print out a working firearm, aptly dubbed a “wiki weapon,” using a 3D printer, a technology that’s already available to the average citizen and is also becoming increasingly affordable.

Congressman Steve Israel (D-Huntington) called for a renewal of a revamped Undetectable Firearms Act that includes the ban of homemade, 3-D printed, plastic high-capacity magazines. The existing ban on plastic guns expires this year and does not clearly cover magazines. This past weekend, Defense Distributed, a group of homemade gun enthusiasts used a 3-D printer to print and test an ammunition magazine for an AR semi-automatic rifle, loading and reportedly firing 86 rounds from the 30-round clip. A video of them firing the weapon can be seen here.
Rep. Israel said, “Background checks and gun regulations will do little good if criminals can print high-capacity magazines at home. 3-D printing is a new technology that shows great promise, but also requires new guidelines. Law enforcement officials should have the power to stop keep homemade high-capacity magazines from proliferating with a Google search.”
Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said, “With every advancement in technology, there will be those who attempt to exploit it for unintended purposes. And in those situations, it is incumbent upon our elected officials and law enforcement agencies to take necessary action to protect the public. This common sense legislation closes a dangerous loophole in the law, and I strongly support Congressman Israel’s efforts in seeing these dangerous magazines banned.”
3-D printers work by printing layer upon layer of a material, usually thermoplastic, on top of each other in order to form a 3-D object. The revamped Undetectable Firearms Act that Rep. Israel wrote makes it illegal to manufacture, own, transport, buy, or sell any firearm or magazine that is homemade and not detectable by metal detector and/or does not present an accurate image when put through an x-ray machine. The reauthorization would extend the life of the bill for another 10 years from the date of enactment.
This technology will finish off the gun companies. Adios ruger and S&W.
Congress will never ever ban 3d printing. ‘cos they want you to own more guns. Its reverse-psychology at play. Anyways, 3d printing would not have been allowed to come up this far is the shadow government did not wanted it.
No worries. 3d printing will never be banned else the congress won’t get more excuse to ban guns start civil war in America
So it is against the law to own some thing that cannot be detected….mmmmmm
Cracker Barrel restaurant refused service to gun owners who went there to eat after a gun rally.

And Cracker Barrel portraits themselves as a “small town COUNTRY store”….. NOPE… nothing more than a big city corporation out to destroy the American way of life.
Have a nice day.
