Whew!! At least they didn't find any of those evil, terrible, 3D printed weapons of mass destruction. :mrgreen:

It just goes to prove, what we have been saying, criminals will find a way to get around any gun laws, you can enact.

I'm somewhat confused, by the descriptions, of what they would be able to do with the machines, like put grooves, on the outsides, of guns??

I guess they learned, you don't test fire where you manufacture. :rules:

"The milling machine - the machine on the right - would be used to very accurately create grooves on the outside of the gun.
This from the so called expert they quote in the article...

I had not thought if your island is big enough and with a talented pool of workers, enterprising people could manufacture guns for profit.

Now I know.

That's about how many .45 rounds on me when I go to walmart! They'd loose their minds if they saw what's in my reloading room packed in ammo cans!

They would probably _______ their pants if they saw what the average law abiding citizen in the US could buy at said Walmart. Knives, ammo, and maybe even guns :shock:
