“it is legal for Americans to build their own firearms without a license so long as they are not prohibited by law from possessing firearms, the firearms are legal to own, for personal use, and not for sale or transfer to others. Whether the gun parts are printed, created by other ways of manufacturing, or legally purchased from a licensed dealer has no impact on whether it is legal for an American to build a gun for personal use”

-Literally the ATF

But i can't put a silencer on it without a tag, or have the pistol/rifle combo of having a barrel shorter than 16in with a full buttstock.

Even if I make it 100% myself there are still rules I've got to follow.

Where did I say there were no rules?

I was addressing 3d printed guns as a whole, which I assume is what she was spooked about.

What he is saying, is that these are all process crime traps. Only those with the money and legal knowledge can successfully avoid prosecution WHEN the three letter agencies decide you are a person of interest.

It keeps many law abiding, innovative and industrious citizens from even considering taking advantages of the rights they posses when it comes to inventing new firearms or accessories.

The guy in the middle of Kansas with a family and a farm to lose, won't tinker with guns, for fear of ending up in federal prison over a missed tax stamp or filing date.

It is why rich people have lawyers and accountants...to keep D.C. from putting them in the pokey. (prison)

Screw up on your 1040? IRS corrects it and deducts it from your refund.

Screw up with a federal firearm filing? They come to arrest you.

If I cannot walk into Cabellas and buy it, I won't lay a finger on it.

Anybody who knows enough about guns to be interested in this vs just buying a gun can see that’s a two stamp gun

And if someone is smart enough to make a firearm, they are smart enough to do basic paperwork

But that’s not the point of these guns, the sole point of these guns is sticking it to Government
