    I disagree. Misdemeanors carry less consequences for a reason. They are less serious. Also, I've never heard that only certain felonies affect rights. Can you provide an example? Also, be careful with "violent". It's likely to be stretched to include a fistfight from teenage years, or "communicating threats", or other crimes and circumstances you didn't intend. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    And yet you're still focusing on the implement rather than the person. Why? Ummm NO. The person needs to pass the background check. Ummm YES. The person needs to pass background checks for what? Everything? To continue breathing? No; to purchase firearms. So like I said, you're focusing on guns and the ability to obtain them, NOT on the people. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    OK, so you listened to Hawking because he is smart. These guys are non-political and also very smart. Are you going to listen to them? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    Oh, I absolutely agree with you. But don't tell the professional victims. They'll call you a racist. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    Not with one that prints in plastic. I suppose it's possible that a metal printer will make another printer someday, but we're certainly not anywhere near that with today's tech. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    To me it's just proof of concept. And probably a "fuck you" to folks who just like to regulate everything about everybody. This guy clearly falls towards (or even past) serious libertarian. He may really be approaching anarchist. And you're right about this one being expensive. It's much cheaper to build a cheap metal POS gun. The difference is this requires no skill to make, and each unit made makes the initial outlay less per unit. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    I can make a zip gun by tomorrow. It's not much harder than a Molotov cocktail. I can make a disguised multi-use zip gun by the end of the week. I can't "build" a Liberator because I don't have a printer. If I did have a printer, I could make one. I'm not worried about firing it because that's what it was designed for. Do you have any credible reason why it isn't safe? Or are you using less logic than Bloomberg? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    So, since complete bans like drug prohibition works SO WELL, and most gun violence only affects criminals anyway, why push for more gun control laws? If a complete ban won't stop criminals from being criminals, what is the point of screwing with all citizens? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    What do you expect when the Congress (at the urging of the NRA) essentially shut down all research on gun violence over a decade ago? Incorrect, as evidenced by the study referenced in the OP. Congress shut down funding for CDC to run politically motivated, predetermined-results based research. Plenty of folks at universities still study and publish. Care to try again without incorrect information or unnecessary bashing of the NRA? And to be honest, do you need congress to tell you something in order to know something? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    Gun crime has plunged, but Americans think it's up, says study I'm much more concerned with this aspect. Gun crime has been dropping, but folks think its going up. Kind of hard to make good electoral decisions when you have no freaking idea what's going on. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    Yep. Their AR lower is getting better and batter. I wouldn't want to go to war with one, but they're gettin there. The plastic pistol (feels funny saying that an being accurate, since gun-banning simpletons have been misusing if for so long) is very cool. It has no metal exect for a bail you can find anywhere, and the ammo. It isn't tiny, for the plastic to handle the pressure I guess, but being plastic has its advantages. I'd really like it for third world shitholes. Obviously want the 9mm barrel, but I'd also want a barrel for AR or AK ammo. I wonder if he can use a .22 lr barrel and build in some suppression into the barrel. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    I understand your argument, but then why is DWI illegal? Even more to the point, why are drugs in general illegal? Why is the government banning the object (the joint, the pill, etc.) instead of only punishing the criminal acts caused by the irresponsible use of the object? I personally think drug prohibition is bad policy. I wouldn't "legalize" drugs, but I'd decriminalize a good portion of them. DWI is a different case, though. Driving on public streets and highways is an inherently dangerous activity. Being impaired by alcohol or other drugs makes a person incapable of avoiding or mitigating that danger when it occurs, leading to death, injury, and damage. I don't care if you drink, but don't get hammered and then get behind the wheel. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    Way to leave out the next sentence. I was messing with Andy because he implied every homicide is a crime, when that's not true. Self defense, police protecting victims from imminent deadly force, soldiers in war, etc. Now, care to address the issue of laws against bad acts with those using prior restraint to attempt to prevent bad acts? I think we all agree murder is wrong and should be a crime. But is gun ownership in and of itself bad? That's not the case gun control types make. They always say they want to prevent murder and mayhem. They don't say gun ownership is bad. They specifically say they respect gun rights. They say they don't want to ban guns.

    Not really. Plenty of folks kill people and aren't tried or convicted of murder. They committed homicide, but not every homicide is a criminal act. Booyah, lawyered the lawyer. Seriously though, if punishing the bad act isn't enough, where do you stop with criminalizing otherwise undamaging conduct in an effort to prevent the bad act? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
