[QUOTE="soberups, post: 3190810, member: 14668"] If you knew anything about guns, you would understand the futility of wishing for a "next time." Humor me. Google "AR-15 3-D printer" and "AR-15 80% lower" and spend about 15 or 20 minutes doing some honest research for yourself. If you dont have time, here is the Cliff Notes version: A person can now use a 3D printer and open source software to manufacture an AR-15 lower (the regulated part, with a serial number, that everything else attaches to) in their own basement, with no records, no background check, no serial number, no nothing. Once you have a finished lower, its a simple matter of assembling the remaining bits and pieces. If you can put Legos together you can build an AR-15. If you cant afford a 3-D printer, you can spend about $50 on an "80% lower" with no serial number or regulation or recordkeeping. Its basically a piece of metal in the shape of a receiver that is only 80% complete and thus exempt from regulation. The remaining work can be completed using a jig and a hand drill, with plenty of tutorials on YouTube showing you how. Go ahead and try to ban "assault weapons". It wont keep bad guys from getting them. The GOP wont pass it, and Trump wouldnt sign it even if they did. The only thing you are going to accomplish by even trying...is to keep Trump in office for 4 more years. [/QUOTE]
