No traceable gun parts, no background checks, no need for much more than a computer and a 3D printer at home to build one.
They could become the firearms of the future: Plastic-and-resin weapons that American gunsmith and self-described anarchist Cody Wilson wants to spread widely.
On Aug. 1, the 30-year-old Texan intends to legally distribute online blueprints for his single-shot "Liberator" pistol, as well as manuals to complete guns such as the AR-15.
Some U.S. lawmakers are horrified by the prospect, warning "downloadable guns" are a national security concern.
WEST SACRAMENTO CA (IFS) -- The question was asked of me when this writer was a youngster in college. Where will you be when the Revolution come? The Revolution is here on everyone's doorstep. With the police being called upon citizens of color for everything from BBQing at a public park, to going to the bathroom at Starbucks, etc. What the fight is all about -- it's access! Ghost guns. This is the equalizer to gun control in the United States.
The Police always give people of color a gun, when they don't have one on their person or not. It's the Police's "Dog Whistle" to kill people of color. The day after Day, Week after Week, Month after Month, Year After Year killing of people of color is like shooting fish in a barrel and it doesn't stop. Laws or no laws.
These are crazy racist people who love to kill people of color without compulsion These cops now have the neighborhood to fight with where everyone has a gun, and times and days of the police just running up upon a person and pulling their guns are going to be over. When a police officer pulls his gun, the Neighborhood Watch will be pulling their guns out too.
We forget the Los Angeles (Watts) Riots, the Detroit Riots, Newark New Jersey Riots, and the list goes on and on as regular citizens began to have -- out and out gun battles with the police.
The problem is when people of color really have a gun and really going to use them against dishonest and racist police, has become a problem, and will be a problem for the rest of the life of America. As of August 1, 2018, the website Defense Distributed is again making the downloadable blueprints for building an automatic weapon with the 3D Printer available.
The "crying" police are now scared to death because these guns are made of plastic and the component parts are not required to be registered.
The Police are the cause of their own dilemma throughout the history of America. They enforced the "Jim Crow" laws against people of color on so many levels. The Police created the "Hate and Fear" factor that is now coming back to haunt them is so many areas. The Police have made themselves targets by their own making. Even the lowly small house mouse will fight back when corned.
America, you have a problem. A big problem that will not be going away soon. These "Ghost Guns" are real, and the police keep killing people of color -- if they have a permit or not. The police don't care and they are scared of everything and anything that is not white or like them.
How did this action come about? Thanks to President Trump, he alone used an Executive Order to open the door. The Court found that the code to make these guns is text and a part of free speech that is protected by the Constitution of the United States of America.
Now the head-on arguments for "Stand Your Ground" and the rights of people to own and carry firearms has hit a major collision in the courts and its spreading across the United States like wildfire. There are several cases involving citizens who protected themselves from the forces of the police in self-defense and have won. Now you have these citizens as protectors of other citizens from police abuse by using their guns against the police.
How quickly we forget the outcome of the Watts Riots when several LAPD officers decided to make a Black Panther Brigade of 32 young men and women that were in uniform and performing drills were ordered to drop their weapons. So with two cars of LAPD officers with their guns drawn and the Black Panthers with their guns at the ready -- the local community was alerted and it quickly became 3,000 heavily armed citizens surrounding three (3) cars. The hero that day was a young LAPD officer by the name of Lt. Thomas Bradley who went on to become the two-term mayor of Los Angeles in years to come.
The public is not afraid of local law enforcement, and as history goes, it proves that the public will go "toe-to-toe" with the police for wrongs that they commit. In the old days, before the internet, youtube, weblogs and other broadcasting devices, these stories were crushed by the main newspapers and never let out.
Trump says he "spoke to NRA" about 3D plastic guns
President Donald Trump says he is consulting with the National Rifle Association over whether it makes sense for a Texas company to publish downloadable blueprints for a 3D-printed gun.
Mr. Trump tweeted Tuesday he is "looking into 3-D Plastic Guns being sold to the public," adding that he "already spoke to NRA."
The president expressed doubt, saying "doesn't seem to make much sense!" He did not offer further details.
In 2015, 14 people were killed by police in Kern County, which has a population of just under 875,000. In the same time frame, 10 people were killed by the New York police department throughout the five counties of New York City, home to nearly 10 times as many people and about 23 times as many law enforcement officers.
Members of a Bakersfield, Calif., man’s family were shocked this week when they received news that 73-year-old Francisco Serna lost his life in a police shooting in the early hours of Monday morning.
Mr. Serna was wandering the dark neighborhood with his hand in his jacket pocket when concerned neighbors called the police, and said that an unknown individual was brandishing a revolver at women outside. Yet after police responded with deadly force, investigators discovered that Serna was unarmed, carrying only a wooden crucifix.
After a year of charged discussion about police violence and policing strategies, some experts say that this shooting is yet more evidence that something needs to change in the way that law enforcement officers are trained to respond to these situations. And reports that Serna may have been suffering from the early stages of dementia underscores concerns about how well-equipped police is to discern the difference between people who pose a threat and those who may be in a state of emotional distress or confusion.
