Cuomo may be gone but his Gun Squad remains.

Remember in 2016 when a bunch of people said DC was infested with pedos and the FBI investigated it and said it was all completely unsubstantiated?

I remember.

I believe Dwight Eisenhower warned of the same thing long before 2016. Remember the Congressional Pages Scandal? Seems a few congressmen got caught bending over pages. We have no one to blame but ourselves. Never should have allowed elected officials to be treated like royalty. Should have treated them as an employee. So you're a Senator? Who gives a schidt.

I have possibly dabbled in this hobby but its really just that. Sure it can be done and its awesome because its less on the radar, but end the end its still a plastic lower that depending on the material used doesn't do well if for example left in a hot car. Most of the models out there cost as much as commercially made in the end. Any cheap parts kit as soon as something is released the kits are gobbled up and prices skyrocket. Look at the prices of hi-point parts kits, they often are more than a complete new pistol, and in the end its still a hipoint.
There are designs out there that are primarily printed, but you are looking at 3-500 hours to print and still need a bolt and barrel. If you cant make it the cost is ridiculous for what it is. It of course is possible to make every component but if you are that well versed in metal working you dont need a printer to make something that goes bang.
I believe the best use for a printer is to make jigs for completing a traditional 80% (as long as they are still unregulated) or other supporting tools or parts to build . Printable magazines exist to a degree, and for the time and material invested they are viable.

Fair points, but at the end of the day for even the worst case - it's a gun to get a gun, in a place where you have no options. And they work perfectly for that.
