I'm reading 300,000 people.

Three million seems high even for a longer period. Biden is known to "slightly exaggerate" though.

They think they found a "legal" way to regulate 3D printed firearms.

Quote
In response, the BIS has now declared that anyone engaged in manufacturing, exporting or ‘furnishing’ 3D printed firearms, are subject to Export Administration Regulations (EAR) instead. To help those currently in possession of the software and machinery needed to produce these munitions stay compliant, the bureau has therefore issued a detailed FAQ, which it “strongly encourages” them to read.

They don't seem to appreciate that we can just make "real" guns any old time with a mill and lathe.  The more they dick around with regulating 3D printers,  the closer more likely they make "*expletive deleted*ck it,  everything's illegal,  I'll make whatever I want" a reality.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

So- can the files just be published on a server outside the USA to get around this?

I wish they'd call it what it is. It's disarmament. We should call it what it is and not fall into their narrative.  :old:

As a side note, can anyone tell me of an incident where a gun got out of control?

I think Kentucky Ballistics recently had a video of a gun getting out of control.

Plenty sadly. One with a machine gun fun shoot and someone let a kid shoot an smg and it walked back over his head and shot someone. Been around a few unintentional FA pistols when they had a failure. There is a reason you test unknown guns with one in the magazine only first.

SKSs when someone didn't clean the cosmoline and/or crud out of the fire pin channel and they go full auto upon releasing the bolt. :O

I used to recommend two in the mag.  With only one you can't tell if it's going to double tap or not, only that it won't blow up.  Two is still nominally controllable.  I can attest that an unintended full mag dump is a scary proposition.  Every bullet has to come down somewhere.

Right or wrong, I diagnosed a Sterling hammerless .22 pistol as having slightly too much clearance between the firing pin and the channel in which it rode.  This allowed the firing pin to slip off the sear with the impact of the slide closure.  It could have been repaired with a new, "higher" sear, but I decided that was too much of a balancing act.  I don't have it anymore, but I can't remember what I did with it.  Probably a decent burial at sea.  Well, OK, burial at lake, anyway.

Mexico is suing a whole gaggle of gun manufacturers and dealers. I expect this will be used by Biden.

Among other things Paul Lathrop said we need to sue Mexico for the drugs they allow to be trafficked across the border, and all sorts of other related stuff.  They talked about other stuff also.

We should sue them for all the non-Mexicans that cross the border illegally - there is NO WAY that many hundreds of thousands of OTM (Other Than Mexican) foreigners can cross a thousand miles of Mexico to get to our border without the connivance of the Mexican government.

Certainly not with a court in New Jersey.

I had no idea what that trigger was.  I had to look up a couple videos on it.  Looks like it is essentially a bump fire trigger.  I don't know how they thought the ATF wouldn't come after them on this trigger.  IMO, there is likely more justification to call this a machine gun than the bump stocks.  It still doesn't quite get there as far as the letter of the law.
