defense distributed's "october surprise"

NES should buy one, then it could travel from location to location doing the groups in the area, that price is very attractive to. To bad they sold out quicker that a Buffet concert at Gillette.
 
Hmmmmm

*strokes beard*

All I need is an 80% lower with the rear take down well milled out.

Thanks, NES. Once again my wallet is in mortal danger. Now to go convince some friends to go in on it with me.
 
Epic.

But listening to that oxygen thief spew absolute garbage literally hurts me. Oh well, this video is a big

to them all.
 
I love the "A 30 magazine clip in half a second!" guy. Good idea to include him.

I honestly thought that was an Onion video when I first watched it.
 
anyone talking about renting the machine, etc. that won't happen. and if it does happen, you shouldn't talk about it.

Is manufacturing a firearm legal?

In general, yes. Semi-automatic firearms, including the AR-15 lower receivers, are generally legal to manufacture for private individuals per US federal law Title 18 do not require serialization or other maker's marks. However, some states/municipalities restrict either the manufacture of certain firearms, or, more recently, the personal manufacture of a firearm with a 3D printer and/or CNC machine. DD makes no claim regarding local manufacturing legality; lower receiver files provided by Defense Distributed might require special licensing to manufacture and/or possess.

Under federal law, manufacturing a firearm for contemplation of future sale without an FFL is prohibited. Without a manufacturing FFL, you should manufacture firearms for personal use only. There are methods to legally transfer ownership of personally manufactured firearms, but they do not apply when the original manufacturing intent is to build a firearm for commercial or non-personal use. Recent ATF determinations have signaled that allowing others use of your CNC equipment may itself constitute manufacturing, therefore Defense Distributed advises GhostGunner owners to neither print firearms for other individuals, nor allow other individuals to use their GhostGunner to manufacture firearms.
 
Good point.

Listen to Howie Carr (horribly paraphrased):
Don't write what you can say
don't say what you can suggest
don't suggest what you can nod
don't nod what you can wink

I certainly wouldn't rent it out or allow others to use it.
After all, I only own 1/24th of it, and don't have that right as my 23 partners may not permit it...

I wonder how much a used desktop CNC machine goes for after it has been used 24-48 times?
 
What atilla said. Selling or giving a serialized/unserialized lower = PMITA time. Man this would look perfect on my desk in my bedroom. [rofl]

I love the smoking at the end and poor lighting, it's just beautifully brilliant.
 
Can it only be used for Aluminum? As for manufacturing for other people, the CNC will just have to be "sold" to each person when they use it.
 
The $999 price point sold out.
The remaining 84 units are $1199, but 24 is definitely 'do-able' for us I'd think.
Would co-ownership be legal, and would that not put every co-owner on the hook if the ATF wanted to seize an opportunity to round up 24 people on some tortured interpretation of law?
 
What if it was owned by a trust and all NES members were members of the trust? Or we could just sell the machine to each other for an arbitrary amount.
 
Some really good comments after that one...
Indeed, though I'm not sure sarcasm was seen as such.
MichaelZWilliamson Robotra3 hours agoThe founding fathers could never have foreseen instantaneous transfer of child porn and battle plans. We need reasonable controls on the First Amendment to protect America and the Children.
So-called "free speech advocates" are only child porn enablers, selfish, with no concern for others.
There's no reason you can't have reasonable internet access at a library, monitored by the government to ensure you're not a criminal. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.




So-called "Free speech" kills kids.
