I think you mean, that statement is true except when it isn't true.
No, I am saying its not true. It's the same as buying an illegal weapon.
Fine. Now we understand your position, and you are wrong. You replied to this statement of mine...
I support 3d printing of weapons making the issue obsolete, since they could be produced when and if required.... with a misdirection to the LEGALITY of 3d printed weapons.
The reason you are wrong is that a population with general purpose 3d printers can literally overnight possess a massive number of firearms.
Having said that, I understand your point, but you are still not correct. For example, in the USA, there are specific exemptions to federal firearms licensing for firearms a person has manufactured himself.
Going back to the original question, let's review it again. Post #1.
I'm not talking about a country where there are weapons and you ban them, cause that doesn't work (bad guys don't just hand out their weapons) but about a country where weapons are banned and could be unbanned.And I replied "
I support 3d printing of weapons making the issue obsolete, since they could be produced when and if required."
I'm liberal on many things except for the 2nd amendment and a handful of issues. I'm very pro 2nd amendment, with that being said, we need to at least shore up some loopholes that currently exist, especially for people that have been diagnosed with mental illnesses, these people should not have access to a weapon. I believe there are laws already in place to address this, but the authorities at the Federal and at many State levels are just incompetent or do not enforce the current laws. ....
Those laws are incompetently vague and useless. There is a specific issue regarding the prescription of certain psychoactive drugs for treatment of certain illness. People that take these, the risk of their going ape if and when they miss their meds literally skyrockets.
I don't think there are any laws in place that covers this issue.
