The elites in the federal government are on the verge of total panic as the August 1 deadline arrived for the legal sale of 3D gun blueprints on the internet. We are assured by the cool heads of the more gun-grabby members of Congress that by about noon on August 1st, terrorists will be weaving in and out of schools, airports, golf courses and Christina Aguilera concerts with undetectable “ghost guns.” That sounds really spooky!
In one of the more outrageously ignorant examples of attempting to frighten the public, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that 3D printed guns are, “Outright dangerous in the way they can mimic the look and the capacity of a hardened, fully semi-automatic weapon.”
We’ve used the term “fully semi-automatic” in the past to make fun of gun-grabbers and their total lack of knowledge on the very objects they so desperately wish to ban. But this might be the first time we’ve heard an adult use the phrase out loud and on purpose in total sincerity. You caught us, Senator Schumer! Using modern science and some sort of Harry Potter-like wizardry, we will be able to finally achieve FULL SEMI-AUTOMATIC thanks to 3D printing technology.
Also, if something mimics the look of something else, doesn’t mean that it is non-functioning, despite looking real? You know, like a toy gun that “mimics” the real thing? Someone buy an engagement ring that mimics real diamonds and report back to us with results, please. (Just kidding. Unlike 3D printed guns, that would be “outright dangerous.”)
Aside from the gun-grabbers’ hysteria, what is so frightening to people about 3D guns?
If you’ve seen one, you’ll immediately recognize the fact that Chuck Schumer is a bald-faced liar. They look like something a child would put together with Lego building blocks, but with less similarity to an actual gun. Most of the ones we’ve seen that are operable, since they are made almost entirely of plastic, are single-shot weapons.
Last November, a company finally created a 3D-printed gun out of metal and ran 1,000 rounds through it. But the costs of 3D printing metal are astronomical when compared to doing it with plastics (and the plastics alone are very expensive to work with — 3D printing isn’t cheap). What criminal or terrorist would go to that amount of time, effort and expense just to have a firearm that doesn’t have a serial number on it?
Then, there is the boogey-man of the “ghost gun” — a plastic weapon that is undetectable in an airport metal detector. Mrs. Schumer and his compadres who are allergic to the Second Amendment would have us believe that planes will be dropping from the skies like 9/11 again if 3D blueprints are sold on the internet. Okay, let’s play along with that fantasy.
Suppose you managed to sneak your single-shot, plastic firearm and a single bullet onto a commercial airliner. (Too many bullets will trigger a metal detector, so at best guess, you might be able to sneak one bullet on board.)
How would you bring the plane down? You have one bullet and a firearm that would make most people burst into laughter if you tried to use it in the commission of a crime. You have one armed US Marshal (possibly more) on the plane with a real gun and probably two or more loaded magazines. You very likely have a pilot and/or co-pilot who is armed in a hardened cockpit, redesigned to not be breached by terrorists. You have a plane filled with passengers who will rip the face off a terrorist with their bare hands rather than allow another 9/11-style suicide attack to take place. So, again… what are you going to do with your one bullet and your scary “ghost gun?”
Anyone can go online right now and find blueprints to build a British-style STEN gun in their basement (minus the trigger mechanism and firing pin, but those are easily found as well). The parts to construct one will run you about $200-$300 at a hardware store. The same goes for a “zip” gun that can be constructed from a pipe and a nail for materials costing approximately $5. If someone wanted to build an “untraceable” gun at home for criminal purposes, they could do it for a lot cheaper than by doing it through 3D printing.
Alternatively, they could just buy one on the black market, which will never go away, no matter how many sets of blueprints the government bans.
The real reason that 3D printed guns are causing such a panic is because they represent a tiny whiff of freedom. With firearms being the most heavily regulated items on the planet, the thought of individuals being able to create a gun on their own — even a plastic one that offers little threat to the federal government — terrorizes those who do not want you to have any freedom.
And as for the secret to “fully semi-automatic” firearms, well… let’s just leave Sen. Schumer in the dark on that one.

just when you think you have heard it all Chuckey stands up and outdoes himself. not only showing his ignorance on the subject of a printed gun but displaying himself and his ability to use a computer that would have supplied the facts in their entirety. the only thing I can think of is, he heard it somewhere and thought it sounded good and something all the minion’s world believe. his talent for standing in front of a nation with the pasted on grin and showing us all just how desperate he is to be relevant about the left’s passion to disarm this nation. he continues to grasp at the straws they banned on the left coast. another week point made to get his face displayed even if it embarrasses himself.
Grampa
There is not a politician alive today that this statement does not apply to; the only thing I can think of is, he heard it somewhere and thought it sounded good and something all the minion’s world believe. his talent for standing in front of a nation with the pasted on grin and showing us all just how desperate he is.
The fact is that there are minions on both sides of the political spectrum who do not take the time and effort to explore the truth of what their chosen leaders tell them, it works both ways, there are equal amounts of sheep in both camps, and wolves don’t find either type more tasty than the other.
chuckie, nanan, mad max, finklestein and the rest of the power mongers will say anything to get attention of the sheeple. It just seems that ever since barry was in office, the elite have taken acting lessons and have proven that even they cannot pass a written or physical test in their results. The one thing that they are afraid of is loosing their free ride. They only stay in office because of unproven “promises” and deceiptful acts. WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA before it is too late. Just stop watch and listen to the rhetoric that is force fed to U.S. about the lies and contemptuous stories coming from the “elite”.
The DNC is a Criminal Organization and their constituents are the dumbest people on earth! Oh I know they have a handful of
College grads and they us fancy words that are just a waste of time, they act like they are far more advanced, and intelligent, but what are they contributing to society? Hatred, violence, socialism?
Socialism is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of, take money from the rich to hand out to the poor?
Well, don’t those dumbasses realize that there are far more poor, than rich? You take from the job makers until they are too broke to make jobs, and you end up with a nation of dust!
If Nancy Pelosi, is running anything, the country will die! She is the ditziest, woman I’ve ever seen!
As a taxpayer, I’d like to know what Obama paid $28M of taxpayer funds, to seal up, until the statute of limitations runs out! We have a right to know! If he stole a dump truck load of gold, we won’t know it until it’s too late, to prosecute!
As far as guns go, these idiots have proven far too many times that they are clueless! A fully semi-automatic rifle is what they have already written laws for, a “full semi automatic” is a semi automatic!
schumer ,you are just another over educated, under worked over paid stupid f–kin idiot. there is no such thing as a fully semi automatic rifle. you need to spend 16 weeks in a marine boot camp. then maby you could get a brain.,,,oh sorry pussy boy, u couldnt handle the first day, because u would be crying fot mommy and a pussy hat.
Sen. Schumer like all the other “gun grabbers” show their true ignorance when they talk about any gun related issue. They really need to do a little homework.
Lee Harvey Oswald, killed President Kennedy, with an Italian made bolt action rifle from 250 yards, and the target was moving!
Bad people, murder good people, down through history, many people died by a bad person with an object or by choking, or holding their head under water, or some other form of suffocation, blunt force injury, etc… Cain,killed Able, and not with a full semi Soto!
Schumer is a fool, semi-dumbass!
Schemer is a perverted pedophile. I think.
Just like Schumer, open moth insert foot. Let’s talk when he knows what he is talking about.
I have a Rock out in my flower bed that is smarter than Chuckie
Since an all plastic undetectable gun is illegal to possess by current regs the issue is moot in the US anyway, the laws are on the books so move on Chuck.
Almost forgot, all my semi autos are “fully semi auto” I imagine everyone else has them too unless they are broken.
Maybe somebody should tell Chuck that the allure of owning a fully single shot firearm is not that great and he should focus his efforts towards the incredibly high demand for black market weapons by criminals or people with bad intentions.
We have to stop asking the democRATS how stupid they can get, they seem to be taking it as a challenge!
I normally do not post comments, however, Schumer is a know it all person. I had read that he was in the service during the Vietnam Conflict and called himself a Vietnam Veteran, I also understand that although he might have been in the service did not leave CONUS and called him self a VIETNAM VETERAN. I always wondered that if he was a veteran and why lie about his service.
Just Saying
Roy J. Taylor, Retired Army, Former Marine, RVN VETERAN TWO TOURS. Could anyone one clarify this information. If a person would not tell truth about serving in a Combat Area, why would he believed about other happenings.
JUST CURIOUS, IF I AM WRONG IN THIS PLEASE CLARIFY
Thousand of American Armed Services retirees call themselves ‘Veterans’ countless numbers of them were never deployed over seas or served in combat, nonetheless they have earned ‘Veteran’ status and are eligible under that status to receive every benefit that any other ‘Veteran’ is, for you to single out Schumer for riding coat tails is disingenuous at the least, there are far more by the thousands that are considered veterans than have ever been deployed to a combat zone.
If you served in any branch of the military during a declared armed conflict or war, you are by the armed services branches considered to be a veteran of that conflict, whether deployed or not, you are considered to have played a role in the conflict.
There is nothing in Schumers biography that suggests he had any military service, his draft number never came up and he was at Harvard University about the time of the Viet Nam War, I’d like to see where you read about his claims of Military Service, there is a huge amount of false information put in print on conservative media, so maybe you should check your sources before you open your mouth, and if you want credibility for a critical comment you should cite your source, otherwise you are contributing nothing helpful, rather just fueling divisiveness at the behest of others who want it that way. I would think you wouldn’t want your honorable service to be clouded by spewing false comments. Bah… Bahhh Baaaahhhh.
Hey chuck, did you inherit your stupidity, or do you actually have to work at it???
So what do you expect from someone who is full semi-intelligent?
The moron needs to spend less time playing with his dick!
Every time Chuckie opens his mouth he shows how stupid he really is
While admitting that most firearm restrictions will not really make anybody ‘safer’ a federal court ruled that the ‘feeling’ of being ‘safer’ had a certain value to the life of American society. If people in general had a better grip on their feelings politicians wouldn’t be able to play the fear game to weasel their way into positions of power. Unfortunately the vast percentage of society who don’t take personal responsibility for their own destiny will always fall for the promise that somebody else will be taking care of them. People are soft in these modern times and are easily deceived by false promises made to them from both sides of the political aisle, anybody who thinks Republicans are any better than Democrats is a fool.
Put your bullet back in your pocket Barney. Chucky will think your going to fire your fully semi-automatic pistol again
Speaking of fake things that mimic the real thing, how about Chuck Schumer mimmicing a real American public servant, sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution? He’s doing a very poor imitation, but many sheep are obviously convinced. What a fine argument for term limits!
Schumer does not have a patriotic bone in his body. He is all selfishness, power hungry and greed. He would like nothing better than to be able to dominate others especially conservatives. Make no mistake if many of these pretend progressive democrats who are really oppressive socialists could they would do to us what hitler did to the Jews.
The worst thing to ever happen to patriotism here in the United States of America was to stop the draft. Morally it is a patriotic action of love of country to “want” to serve ones country. I suspect it also is an unwritten duty to any male living here. But it is mostly a moral duty. That duty seems to have been set aside by some when the draft ended. Not only however, is it a moral duty but so much is learned while in the military in peace time and war it makes men out of boys but even beyond that it teaches responsibility and instills pride and confidence as well as many other things in life not so easily learned otherwise. America could use a little more of that patriotism right now. Those of us who did serve know what an asset severing ones country is to the whole life experience. If we as Americans had more patriotic pride we would have less people seeking socialism or communism. Or desiring to overthrow our wonderful Constitutional Representative Republic and do away with our free enterprise economic system. If we had more patriots we would have less chance of a repeat of a president like Barack Obama. Remember how the oppressive socialists cheered when Obama promised his fundamental transformation? I do. I have wondered ever since he made that promise why no one bothered to ask him what it was he wanted to transform America into. Who else wonders that?
I have a running bet with a few co-workers that a printed gun will not be used in any crime for the next year. I would have extended it to ten years but I don’t want to wait that long to collect my money. Who is going to spend several thousand dollars on a quality 3D printer, wait several hours to print a plastic gun, when you go buy a Ghostgunner (by the same guy who made the printed gun,) and make an AR15 (or M16 if you want to drill that extra 1/8″ hole that might get you a $250K fine and 10 years in federal prison) faster, easier, and CHEAPER, than printing a single shot, one time use, disposable gun? Anyone using such a gun in a crime will probably get off by using the insanity defense, for spending thousands of dollars, when any sane criminal would have bought a stolen gun on the street for $200 and filed off the serial # if he really cared. Liberal hype, fear mongering, preaching to the ignorant about invisible guns. It actually kinda reminds me of the “Emperor’s new clothes”. OH, and by the way, this code has been available on the internet in one form or another for about 10 years. Remind me how many times they were used in crimes?
