Okay, so you should be able to provide plenty of examples of this happening then right?
Why would I? If you knew what a zip gun was for you'd realize how ignorant that question is.
Regardless, here's a historical zip.
I think Japan had a recent situation with a hand made firearm as well.
Okay, so not how criminals and terrorists get their guns, because they just walk into a shop and buy them.
lol only the right wing extremist terrorists in the US do it that way, everyone else has to go black market.
Sure, especially considering they said fully printed -- no pre-made firearm components.
The FP-45 Liberator pistol and the CIA's Deer Gun are "real" guns designed for that exact purpose: to kill someone at close range to steal their gun. The first "successful" 3d printed gun was the Defense Distributed Liberator, followed by a plethora of single shot "zip guns" of the same type.
So ... a bunch of 3d printed guns specifically copied from the concept of the FP-45 and Deer Gun.
I fixed your link. I wouldn't want people missing out on that "Usage" section.
Thanks though, I've bookmarked it for when people claim that gun restrictions are pointless because of 3D printers.
