They want to make illegal „creation, acquisition, possession and dissemination of blueprints for 3D printing of firearms“. I’m guessing linking to YouTube videos, on which some US guy 3d prints a gun would be illegal. No words on banning gunsmith books yet.

The blueprints part goes too far.

Sounds good to me. I don’t see any reason why anyone should have gun-printing blueprints or 3D-printed guns.
Edit for everyone downvoting: please humour the rest of us and explain *why* would anyone have blueprints unless they actually want to print a gun. Come on, say it.

Good.

Good luck, have fun.

Here in Portugal far-right groups with tiws to our far-right oarty were planning a coup wich included a 3-d printed weapons and others
But apparently according to reddit exoerts this is actually a terrible measure!

Ban all metal pipes and welding tools too.

Give me plumbing tubes a condom a nail and bullets and i make a gun. This is useless and will again attack our privacy.

What’s fun is the current military precision rifle improvements come from the US precision shooter enthusiast community. Not from big daddy corpos. And the EU keeps on going against civilians having, making and using weapons; missing on a lot of opportunities.
Progress but only when guided by the nanny states and you would not want the plebe to have the means to revolt. Same mentality the nobles had for centuries.

Ah yes, because censoring information works so well…

So the glorious union is back to directives and regulations and rules. The real key to lead the world.

You cannot print a firearm. You can print the trigger, rails, the shell. But the barrel, the breech, the ammo, that needs to be metal.
Any guy with a lathe and/cnc router is much more dangerous. But those you cannot control because they’re not cloud based.
Its stupid. If you want to hurt people, you’re gonna find a way. This is not an efficient one

Fine, I just paint my blueprints red

Ah yes, lets focus on the important topics like 3d printed guns…

Can anyone please show me where 3D-printed guns are used to commit crime? Where did people printing 3D guns get the ammunition and why is this not the problem?

How will you stick this complexity into Arduino sized board which runs the printer?

If you want to use one, you don’t care about the law. Same shit like more rules for legal gun owners. Your hitting the wrong group. And what is a 3D gun plan? Are home printed parts for airsoft guns also involved? Why is a 3D printer legal?

Prediction: this will do absolutely nothing to actually prevent criminals from using this, and some perversion of an interpretation will end up being used against normal people for things that no sane person would consider a „weapon“.

You can beat someone to death with a stick. Consequently, owning a blueprint of a long cylinder will be illegal. Even if unenforced for common sense cases, this would be a blatant excuse to proescute anyone involved with the field.

Another unviable project.
To ban blueprints, you’d have to ban the internet.
And 3D printers, for that matter.

I draw a technical sketch of a gun, am I now a criminal?

Extremely dificult to implement….
How you define a gun blueprint? If I only have a part modeled? Or several parts separated? If I have a modeled toy? What if It doesnt have a gun shape? What if it for shooting paper balls? What if it’s actually meant to be a gun bit it’s designed poorly and doesnt work in real life? Making some sketches in your laptop is illegal?
I have 5 3d printers and this all seems comical. It’s like 50 year old lawyers trying to understand that people with medium level knowledge of 3d modeling can designed a simple „hand cannon“.
Outside plastic printing…. What if you have a metallic tube? Is that a gun? It can be used as such.
The proposed law in the US is trying to force all 3d printing software to detect and block the printing of guns… which tells how little they know about the topic and how that’s impossible.
