Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- Chris W. Cox, executive director, National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, released the following statement on Tuesday:
“Many anti-gun politicians and members of the media have wrongly claimed that 3-D printing technology will allow for the production and widespread proliferation of undetectable plastic firearms.”
“Regardless of what a person may be able to publish on the Internet, undetectable plastic guns have been illegal for 30 years. Federal law passed in 1988, crafted with the NRA’s support, makes it unlawful to manufacture, import, sell, ship, deliver, possess, transfer, or receive an undetectable firearm.”

The “Socialists” are going nuts, Bloomberg is going nuts, Soros is going nuts because of the possibility that guns might no longer be banable at the source, at the manufacturer. The dirty little secret that is being hidden from the public, are that it’s entirely legal in the USA today to build your own gun, for personal use, including handguns, and ARs, without any licenses, or permits. Virtually anyone with access to a machine shop can build pretty much any sort of a gun they want. Improvised guns made from all sorts of everyday materials are something of an art… Read more »
Current 3D printed guns and gun parts are just a beginning. As the technology matures gun control becomes more and more unenforceable. The only question is whether this technology will be developed openly by honest citizens or by criminals in the black market.
Criminals and terrorists will benefit one way or the other. The question is, will honest people defending their lives, liberty, families, and property benefit or will false flag progressives deny them this boon?
And yet another time the NRA is DEAD WRONG! The Second Amendment prohibits the government from interfering with the keeping and bearing of ALL arms – it makes no distinction as to caliber, action, composition or method of construction. The law is patently unconstitutional, its creators, sponsors and supporters in clear violation of their oaths of office, and the NRA totally and completely irresponsible in supporting it.
The REAL, ABSOLUTE stupidity of “Gun Registration” and “Serial Numbers” is that NEITHER have ever aided law enforcement in tracking down criminals and killers even when the firearm is found at the scene of the crime.
ALL a serial number can do is aid in tracking down the legal owner IF he was STUPID ENOUGH to “register” it and let law enforcement and the government know that he OWNS firearms.
It all boils down to the liberals and the fake media being clueless. It proves they don’t know the existing laws that they adopted in the past. Their agenda now is to yell and scream about any new Ideas and making everything illegal by introducing new laws. I am sick and tired of their B.S. attitude. Their Ideas are like A$$ Holes They all have one and should keep them clean and to themselves.
You can’t make a gun that is undetectable and capable of the pressures of modern Ammunition!!!!
I have to admit I am ashamed of the NRA for this stance. From their own statement “Federal law passed in 1988, crafted with the NRA’s support, makes it unlawful to manufacture, import, sell, ship, deliver, possess, transfer, or receive an undetectable firearm” they admit they are not fully supportive of the 2nd Amendment. How can even the NRA not understand what “shall not be infringed” means? Shame on you NRA.
ZIP guns have been around for a very long time,
More leftist hysteria. Legal or not, it was a simple matter to manufacture firearms mostly out of plastic long before the Glock showed up. Everyone remembers the Nylon 66. I used to have one. I wish I’d never sold it. What it has never been possible to do, is to manufacture a firearm entirely out of plastics, and it probably won’t ever be. There are still no materials having the necessary combination of tensile strength, shock resistance, and resistance to erosion by high temperature, high velocity gases that are not metals. Nobody has violated the law prohibiting plastic guns, because… Read more »
