People sitting at home 3D printing guns aren't happy? Who could have guessed.

I mean it's not gun printers that are mad. There are places to congregate for that shit.

then why are all the gun nuts whining in this thread?

lol

They're mostly not. Guntubers have given a lot of people that didn't grow up with/around firearms basic knowledge and safety info. It's a pretty sweet deal.

guntubers?

you mean casuals who don't know shit and get their knowledge and 'experience' from watching youtube?

pretty sweet gravy seals

No. No, that's not who I was referring to.

If I had replaced guntubers with xxxxx you should've known what I was saying just from context. You're denser than a gravy seal my friend.

sure thing chairborn ranger. you fucking idiots think war is a game and fetishize weapons. get your head out.

I'll have to add that one to the list. Thanks for that.

You don't even understand the conversation, apparently. I don't know why I expect more of people here, but hey - nothing to be done about it.

A gun is a technological marvel of a thing. Scientifically they are really very interesting. How they work is kind of ingenious, and their history and how they have so drastically changed the course of all history is fascinating.

I don't want to say that these people probably are all in that boat. But being a gun nut who wants to shoot someone isn't the only reason to find something interesting. I feel the same way about fireworks and nuclear bombs. Looking at the work that had to be done by so many people in order to make a nuclear bomb and calculate what it would and could do? That's as cool and intriguing as a space shuttle or an oil rig drill.

3D printing is also really cool in and of itself.
