The RepRap is an opensource 3D printer that can be used to print many of the parts needed to construct another RepRap (self-replication).
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

This is like directly out of the Psyche Warfare office, a project to make ppl accept clampdowns on Internet freedom. You see only pll in the USA are pro gun-rights, the rest of "civilization" will cry i fear when they learn their neighbour can make a gun this easily. Of course any sane person understands this is BS, u cant make a gun from Nylon.
Great, who needs Fast-n-Furious when you can just email the blueprints to your favorite drug cartel and they can print their own arsenal! If this catches on like the open software movement did, it's a whole new ball-game folks!
Truth be told, sharing and contributing innovative ideas that would otherwise get stamped out through ridiculous and unnecessary patent law (i.e. Mega Arms vs LMT) is what it's all about folks. True liberation from the shackles of corporate greed and government over-reach.
