U.S. will prosecute makers of 'undetectable' plastic guns: Sessions

Lol Sessions should stick to playing reefer madness in his office over and over again and leave everyone else alone.

Hey Sessions- nobody gives a shit about building a plastic gun- and building something "undetectable" is pretty nearly impossible when the sum of the required parts is taken into a consideration. Otherwise people would have just been molding guns by now out of plastic.

No doubt. Even John Malkovich had to hide the spring in a pen and the bullets in a rabbit's foot. Quite a bit before 3D printers, but same problem.
 
The United States Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 (18 U.S.C. § 922(p)) makes it illegal to manufacture, import, sell, ship, deliver, possess, transfer, or receive any firearm that is not as detectable by walk-through metal detection as a security exemplar containing 3.7 oz of steel, or any firearm with major components that do not generate an accurate image before standard airport imaging technology.
 
We have the 1988 law which bans the making of these. What else needs to be said? Jack.
Well, excuse me all to hell. I stand corrected! Our brilliant lawmakers seem to have thought of everything. Any idiot stupid enough to trust a plastic firearm to be safe to shoot should be removed from society for their own protection.
 
“We will not stand for the evasion ... of current law and will take action to ensure that individuals who violate the law by making plastic firearms and rendering them undetectable, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent,” Sessions said in his Thursday statement.

Oh boo. Come on, you're the Attorney General of the United States. Use some common sense for God's sake. Take your head out of your anus and think. This is NOT the great menace to society; the sky isn't falling; and the end of days is not upon us.

Go do something about Chicago, do something about Baltimore, do something about New York, Miami or Atlanta. STFU about plastic firearms. You just sound stupid.

Nothing will ever be done about inner city violence. The problem is too complex for a politician to solve nor do they want to. The fear of that violence is what keeps much of the government in business.
 
Why has Sessions not been kicked to the curb?

He is the exact opposite of everything the Trump Administration is supposed to stand for and he looooves him some .gov in everyone's life.
 
Making undetectable firearms is already illegal. Perhaps this is the adminstration's way of changing the news cycle on 3d printed guns without actually doing anything?

That crazy old bastard needs to be removed from office. Its obvious that his mental faculties are starting to degrade to the point where he is no longer competent to serve in his current role. Trump needs to retire him so he can go home and watch reefer madness and pretend that its still the fifties.
 
...anyone who uses a 3-D printer to make an “undetectable” gun will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, a day after his department asked a court not to block the public from downloading blueprints for the guns.

I have a different read on the article. I like what he said, though he could have said it better. I think he's saying new rules about 3D printed guns are pointless as current law covers the manufacturing of any type of gun.
 
Technical point: the receiver is the firearm, as we all know. If you have a receiver, and it doesn't contain the required amount of metal, you've broken the law before the metal is added. It doesn't matter if it's complete or fireable.

The only legal way to make a 3D printed plastic firearm is to print the plastic around the metal.

But to elaborate on the technical issues: Sessions is still a jackass, a buffoon, and an idiot.

Nah, Sessions must be part of the master plan. No one is this dumb and nothing is as it seems.

For the purposes of the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988, the receiver is not the firearm:
18 U.S. Code § 922 said:
(p)(1) It shall be unlawful for any person to manufacture, import, sell, ship, deliver, possess, transfer, or receive any firearm— (A) that, after removal of grips, stocks, and magazines, is not as detectable as the Security Exemplar,...
(2) For purposes of this subsection— (A) the term “firearm” does not include the frame or receiver of any such weapon; (B) the term “major component” means, with respect to a firearm, the barrel, the slide or cylinder, or the frame or receiver of the firearm
TL;DR: the receiver is not the firearm in the case of 18 U.S. Code § 922(p) detectability compliance

Do you have any IDEA how MANY children have been slain using undetectable 3d printed guns? You heartless bastard!
