We need to 3D print some balls and give them to the 'conservatives' here in Canada.
Globalists trying to disarm Canadians. Typical.
LOL or you could get a CNC machine and make a real one out aluminum and/or steel, the same way the manufactures make them.
The method by which real guns are built isn't magic. It's just shapes milled out of blocks of metal using common machining appliances (granted they're more expensive than 3d printers, but you get what you pay for: real gun vs shitty plastic pretend gun).
And why the fuck would you 3d print a suppressor when you can build a proper one out of a basic metal cylinder and some metal baffles inside? Ridiculous. 3d printing nerds are right out to lunch. You can build a proper suppressor with some sheet metal, a drill press and a spot welder.
Milled steel? Fuck that. Bent sheet metal and pipe. It’s been done before.

Yeah, pretty sure it is legal to 3D print guns so long as you have the correct licence to possess that firearm and, if it is restricted, you register it. The Liberator by Cody Wilson is a prohib because of the barrel length, but I can imagine printing a restricted receiver and registering it.
This guy? He was printing prohibited devices.
This is why banning shit is fucking stupid. Spend tax payer dollars to "fight" whatever is banned. Criminals will find a way around the system. It just gives criminals more power and fucks over law abiding citizens. I'm not saying everything should be legal. Acts (aka murder, looting, rape, etc.) should have laws but items (drugs, guns, fast cars, etc) should be up to the individual to make informed decisions on. If they abuse said items (kill someone with a gun) then that is an action that is illegal under law. Objects do not have a mind of their own. A spoon does not make you fat nor does a pencil make spelling mistakes. Humans need to take individual responsibility for their actions. We have gotten so lazy that we rely on the government to be responsible for us.
