Making your own guns has been legal in the United States since before it was the United States. Our colonist ancestors built their own guns all the time, buying pieces they couldn't manufacture themselves, then assembling them in their home workshops or even on their kitchen tables. They built guns because that was just one of the ways you could get one, especially if you didn't live near a gunsmith. But the stupid continues.{snip] He likened the proposed restrictions to existing limits on home printers, which can’t produce counterfeit currency.

Comments:

We may have reached peak stupid. The only way the government knows if you have 3-D software they don't like is already in our computers.
Wash State has already introduced similar bills.

So we guy out of a thousand tries to make a firearm with a 3D printer and Bragg blathers something stupid about it. This in a city where guns are freely available if you know the right guy. Plus the. “Gunmaker” is probably just experimenting to see if he can do it. In the meantime, the shooters are slaughtering each other every day with bought or stolen guns. None are 3D printed. Ignorant political posturing to try to hide the real reason and we all know what the real problem is.

Any competent machinist with a small milling machine and lathe can make guns. It requires skill and effort, but nothing can actually stop it. I have the equipment in my shop. 3D printed 'plastic guns' fall into two categories...first, the all plastic guns, fully 3D plrinted which can withstand a singke digit number of firings with very low power .22 rimfire cartridges before blowing apart. The barrels are not rifled, so the bullets tumble rapidly and are very inaccurate beyond a couple of feet. Then, there are the real guns, where the 3D printed parts are equivalent to a Glock plastic frame, which takes NO significant stresses, only providing the handle to hold the factory made metal parts such as barrel, slide, and all the real functional parts of the gun. These metal gun parts are readily available from many suppliers with no controls at all in the USA. This second category are legitimate guns, fully and normally functional, accurate and durable. The first category are just silly stunts. They COULD be used to fire, inaccurately, a couple of times with very low pressure .22 rimfire ammo before fracturing. Neither type can be fully controlled by the government. The second type cannot be controlled unless all gun parts become totally controlled....not going to happen in the USA.

When you can buy and install a full-auto upper for your AR or AK why would you mess with a 3-D printer? Yeah, it's illegal without a government blessing but who would pay attention to that technicality?

New York fought the war to end slavery, but NYC taxpayers will be shelling out more than $200,000 for woke community groups to talk about reparations. The taxpayer dough will be steered to select organizations who’ll collaborate with the NYC Commission on Racial Equity to develop “recommendations for repair, collect truth testimony from New Yorkers, and work with researchers leading a NYC Study on Reparations,” 160 years after the Civil War ended. “The launch of this application represents another major step in the fight for reparations here in New York City,” gushed CORE Chair and Executive Director Linda Tigani Thursday

Scrutiny is growing over Omar’s skyrocketing family wealth, after she went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year, according to her own Congressional financial disclosures.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on Thursday announced the withdrawal of four Chinese testing laboratories to protect American families, Breitbart News has learned exclusively. Under the Consumer Product Safety Act, manufacturers and importers have to certify that their products comply with American safety standards to be sold in the country. Children’s products must especially be tested by a CPSC-accepted third-party laboratory. Peter Feldman, the chair of the CPSC, spoke about the need to cancel the accreditation of four Chinese labs, which include: Shenzhen GTT Testing Technology Co., Ltd. (CPSC Lab ID 1843) Dongguan True Safety Testing Co., Ltd. (CPSC Lab ID 1755)

On Jan. 7, 2026, an extremist protester attempted to ram ICE agents in Minneapolis with her SUV, and subsequently died from gunshot wounds when agents appropriately responded to the threat. She and her girlfriend had been on the scene for some time, objecting to the ongoing ICE action, harassing the agents as they were doing their job. Leftists watch one video, from one perspective, and claim she was murdered; reasonable people watch an array of videos of the incident from several directions, [snip] Some on the Left didn’t waste time mourning, knowing they can fundraise off this incident while the iron is hot.

President Donald Trump is seeking nearly $6.3 million from Georgia’s Fulton County in connection with the dismissed case against him pursued by District Attorney Fani Willis. In 2023, Willis had Trump indicted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law, claiming Trump acted illegally in his efforts to push back against the results of the 2020 presidential election. The case was eventually dismissed, and in December 2024, the Georgia Court of Appeals said that a lower court made a mistake in giving Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade, a romantic partner of Willis, the choice of one or the other stepping aside, according to the website Law and Crime.

Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts “social justice first” and prioritizes “involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said. “She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,” a mother named Leesa, whose child attends the same school,

This interview was wild. I can’t believe how the reporter kept a straight face through it all, but here we are. There are many videos that explain this point, but this one might be the clip that proves white liberal women are the worst. You must wonder whether this person is even genuine, because it reads as satire. There’s no way people think like this, but behold, a protester in Minneapolis who doesn’t wish to cry over the recent death of Renee Nicole Gold, 37, who was shot and killed by ICE agents. Gold was a professional activist who had led convoys to disrupt immigration enforcement operations.

The fraud story surrounding the Somali community, in Minnesota and other states, just keeps getting more bizarre. We learned that several members of the Somalian government, including its Ambassador to the United Nations, own "healthcare" companies in America. The one we told you about yesterday, Abdullahi Kulane, was listed as the "maneger" of "Rismi Health Transpotation" in Waite Park, MN. And no, those aren't typos. That's how Kulane's title and business were listed on the Minnesota business website. There's also Somali fraud in Ohio. That's where that U.N. Ambassador, Abukar Dahir Osman, was also a "healthcare administrator." And this story takes us back to the Buckeye State,

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal officers in the Minneapolis-area participating in its largest recent U.S. immigration enforcement operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters who aren’t obstructing authorities, including when these people are observing the agents, a judge in Minnesota ruled Friday. U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez’s ruling addresses a case filed in December on behalf of six Minnesota activists. The six are among the thousands who have been observing the activities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officers enforcing the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area since last month. Federal agents and demonstrators have repeatedly clashed since the crackdown began.

Dylan Mulvaney, a "transgender influencer" most famous for sparking the massive 2023 Bud Light boycott that tanked sales and alienated millions of customers, is now set to make his Broadway debut as Anne Boleyn in the hit feminist musical "SIX." This is a good reminder that this kind of woke mind virus, widely rejected in the previous national election cycle, is still making the rounds in various corners of the entertainment world. I mean, seriously. Not only will Mulvaney be taking a significant role in a musical about women in history, but he will be taking that role away from an actual woman. This is progress for women ... or something.

Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib went on an emotional rant about the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recruitment posts on social media during a Friday shadow hearing in Minnesota. The hearing, chaired by Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, discussed the recent heightened presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota and the fatal shooting of Renee Good. When it was Tlaib’s turn to speak, she used her time to passionately suggest that recent DHS social media posts evoked “neo-Nazi” and “white nationalist” imagery. Tlaib held up a printed Jan. 9 social media post by the DHS’ official account, shared across multiple platforms,

Canada’s globalist Prime Minister Mark Carney’s long-anticipated trip to Beijing appears to be marked by a striking pivot away from Canada’s traditional alliances and toward deeper engagement with Communist China. Claimed by Carney as a necessary adjustment to a “new world order,” the visit instead underscored Ottawa’s growing willingness to accommodate Beijing—and push away the United States—at a moment of geopolitical upheaval. The prime minister of America’s neighbor to the north gushed over Chinese President Xi Jinping, praising his “leadership” during public remarks—language that raised eyebrows both at home and abroad.

The Jan. 7 shooting death of Renee Good has become a political Rorschach test. A Quinnipiac poll released on Tuesday finds that a majority of American voters, 53%, believe ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot Good on a Minneapolis street last Wednesday, was not justified in doing so. Thirty-five percent believe the shooting was justified, while 12% have no opinion. But the poll results vary widely when the respondents’ political affiliations are examined. Seventy-seven percent of Republicans believe the shooting was justified, while 28% of independents and only four percent of Democrats hold the same opinion. These poll results are unsurprising. As news of the shooting broke,

NUUK, Greenland — Native Greenlander Amarok Petersen was 27 years old when she learned the gut-wrenching truth about why she couldn’t have children — and that Denmark was to blame. Suffering from severe uterine problems, a medical doctor discovered an IUD birth control device in her body that she didn’t know she had. Danish doctors had implanted it when she was just 13 as part of a population control program for thousands of native Greenlandic girls and women. “I will never have children,” Petersen told The Post, with tears of anger and sorrow welling in her eyes. “That choice was taken from me.”

A billionaire's yacht was renamed after the media mogul didn't realize that the ship's title, spelled backwards, was a vulgar antisemitic phrase. Larry Ellison, once the world's richest person and the co-founder of the media and entertainment conglomerate, Oracle, renamed his German-built yacht the Izanami, which, spelt backwards, reads: 'I'm a nazi'. The 81-year-old chose to name the enormous, 191-foot vessel after a Shinto deity in Japanese mythology, the goddess of creation and death, seemingly without realizing the phrase it spelled in reverse. Ellison, whose family has strong ties to Israel, became aware of the vile phrase and renamed the yacht, according to Futurism. The yacht owner has repeatedly shown his support for Israel,

Minnesota residents of Somali descent and Hispanic heritage are suing President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to effectively shut down federal immigration enforcement across the state. On Thursday, the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), representing Somali immigrant Mubashir Khalif Hussen, Mahamed Eydarus, who is American and of Somali descent, and Javier Doe, a Hispanic American, filed suit against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE Director Todd Lyons, among other agency officials. The lawsuit is asking a federal court to issue a statewide injunction to stop what it calls “unlawful policies and practices” being carried out by ICE agents, including allegations of racial profiling.

On Thursday afternoon, I wrote about how María Corina Machado visited the White House and had lunch with Donald Trump. While I was writing that article, some rumors were circulating about a big gesture she made, but I couldn't confirm them at the time. Now I can. The Venezuelan opposition leader, on behalf of her people, gave the president her Nobel Peace Prize. Not a replica. The real thing. Since the meeting was purposely kept private, I wasn't sure that a photo would surface, but one got out, and as of late Thursday night, both the White House and Machado have shared it on social media.
