Banning milling machines. and so it begins....

[Dinglenutz]

It's designed to be a campaign ad

I am more inclined to believe this is just posturing (AKA virtue signaling and politics) and not a serious attempt at legislation. The dems in the house have to know this has no chance in getting thru the senate until 2021 and maybe not then. It is just something they can use in campaigns to say "see, the GOP and NRA oppose 'common sense' gun control". The masses mostly have no clue so many of them believe it.

Anyone check out those Pakistani gun markets?

i wonder how much he had invested in all of his tools. Nice job though.

Ruhro, better get on that button rifler quick!

ECM. You can put an electro-chemical machining setup for under a hundred. I do not have it yet. Just haven't gotten to that yet. It will rifle barrels with electricity and salt water.

Also, I can cast metals in my garage. Is my forge to be illegal?

 

[Tony617]

I have not done any cast aluminum since junior high metal shop. Great fun. I remember my metal shop teacher played a joke where he was showing use how braze metal but instead put the unlit acetylene gas torch in a ladle with soapy water. He lit the torch and put in the soapy water. BOOM!!! All of use couldn't hear for a while. My shop teacher put cotton in his ears.

Indeed. Some of the Khyber Pass guns are functional. Others dangers. And still others unintentionally hilarious. But they do it all with hand tools.

Meanwhile in Portland "Where are all the 2A folks to stand up to Trump's tyranny?"

Staying at home NOT burning, looting, blinding LEOs with lasers or throwing bricks at them or windows and otherwise obeying the law.

And congress also moved to impeach...

 

[titsonritz]

Go to ban shovels, hammers and fire, too?
DIY: Shovel AK - photo tsunami warning!

 

[CamoDeafie]

fire, too?

They've done that in fire seasons

That doesn't usually pertain to a contained fire though.

This will kill every manufacturing job in America. Look at the stupid on the people who wrote that.

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

virtue signaling much? it'll never go thru but its the "well we tried but the senate shot it down..."

hopefully this will urge every manufacturing job employee will vote accordingly this time

 

[nwslopoke]

I didn't see any mention of threading devices such as those used in manufacturing ghost pipe bombs or simple cloths and peanut butter jars as with Malatov cocktails, also a favorite of the left. Untraceable yet still popular in Portland.

Politicians really need to understand...when society collapses, those who caused the problems are the first to be hung.

Flame suit on. Here is the not so popular opinion so far in this thread:

I am very pro 2A and fully support the right that we can all legally make our own firearms for our own personal use. However, a desktop CNC milling machine specifically marketed, programed, fixtured, and tooled just to allow someone with limited to zero machining ability to kick out an AR lower is WAY different than a 3 axis Haas VF-2 or even a Haas Mini-Mill made for and used in general manufacturing. You can not just buy a VF-2, toss in in your house and start kicking out lowers with no experience, not going to happen unless you have training on how to use, set up, and program that equipment. I used to be a CNC machinist, and still claim it somewhat, I still have my Kennady (machinists will know what that is), it's not as simple as "set it and forget it" to run a real CNC milling machine from scratch.

Heck the posts with the Youtube guy melting down cans or old brass is very proof of what I am talking about. In the Youtube videos, he uses manual milling equipment and most importantly skills learned that is not JUST making a lowers, is way different. That same guy can use his equipment and skills to manufacture about anything, it's not dedicated allowing anyone with the $ to spend to make as many nontraceable lowers as they wish. As for 80% lowers and router jigs, I personally think the jigs sold that specifically allows a router to "mill out" and finish 80% lower almost crosses the same line as dedicated CNC desktop mills. It's made to do one and one thing only with little to no skill to operate.

Again 100% for the right for someone to make their own firearm. (Like the guy on Youtube, rock on) There will always be someone looking to cash in on making it easy. 80% lowers seam to already be that. Pushing it further just makes 2A more of an uphill battle and takes focus on the true rights we are in the fight of our lives.
