Prosecutors Call for AID for ATF

“Law enforcement cannot do this alone. We need to engage software developers, technology experts and leaders in the 3-D-printing industry to identify solutions in this fight.

How about, “No.”?

Not an acceptable answer? How about, “HELL NO! And screw you and the horse you came in on.”

In a few years machines guns are going to be legal. Even if it were practical to stop the 3-D printing of machine gun parts, which it is not, the successful convictions they make will be thrown out after the law gets ruled unconstitutional.

The ATF has been shooting dogs and innocent people in their war on guns of decades now. And most of those laws they have been using as excuses for their abuses are being declared unconstitutional. If the federal prosecutors are looking for something to do, they should be prosecuting the thugs in the ATF.

  1. Do you worry that when gun control is rolled back to 1920, and you can get an MP-5 from MidwayUSA that the fear mongering will be able to call for a Constitutional convention to eliminate the 2nd Amendment?

    • Nope. I think it is more likely we will reach a tipping point when people realize “the end of the world” hasn’t occurred. The fear mongers will be ignored, and MP-5s will for sale on the same aisle in Costco as the blister packs of six Glocks and pallets of 9mm ammo.

    • The more means the general public has to defend itself, the less they will clamor for someone/something to save them.

    • When the subject arises, I ask people if they fully understand the Article 5 processes, and if they do, then, if such repeal did by some wild chance actually did come about, do they understand that just because the amendment was repealed that the people still possess RKBA?

      • The right there specified is that of ‘bearing arms for a lawful purpose.’ This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed; but this, as has been seen, means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress.

        • Oh, but the Constitution is a living document, one the Leftist overlords can interpret as they wish for their expediency. Right now, they are attempting to smother the document with a pillow.

        • JoeL yes, but that misses a point that I think Miles was referring to: without the 2nd Amendment, it continues to be true that Congress has no Constitutional power to regulate guns. The reason is in Article 1 Section 8, which are the “enumerated powers” and which do not enumerate gun regulation as one of these. The 9th and 10th Amendments only serve to emphasize this point.
          As I recall, one of the states (MA?) argued, during the ratification debates for the Bill of Rights, that there was no need for any of those amendments because they are all redundant in view of the limited enumerated powers. Formally / logically speaking that is true. But those of us who build fault tolerant systems know of the value of redundancy, and seen that way the 2nd Amendment is useful because it is one of the four articles in the Constitution that bans gun control.

  2. I’m not buying a Kirkland MP5 at Costco.

    I prefer to buy my submachine guns from the vending machine at the gas station.

  3. The Fed Gov has ignored the BOR and 2nd Amendment for decades. Little will
    change simply because of court rulings. They will pay lip service to the courts when necessary but ignore them most of the time. As for overturning the NFA and making full auto legal…..odds of that happening are worse than the odds of winning SuperLotto.

  4. Hasn’t that horse already left the barn? And now that we have 3D metal printing?
    The industry just going to quit printer sales all together?
    And the cartels haven’t even got involved yet. (I’m surprised they don’t have machine shops in full swing down in old medico.)
    And the real question. If the ATF/FBI/CIA, can’t/won’t stop the idiots that are actually doing real crimes? (Oh I forgot, their the one’s actually importing the criminals.)
    What possible difference could the ATF make?
    Looks to me like government is more interested in making criminals than actually stopping crime.

    • Of course, it’s safer to make new criminals than to try to catch the traditional criminals that make life miserable for the people who are not criminals.
