    It was a bloody good race too. Except Marcus crashed just a few laps short of the end while well inside the top 10. Has had a couple of really good qualifying results but hasn't been able to turn it into a good result. Here's hoping, he's getting closer to that first oval win.

    "In this part of the country, it's not uncommon for a five-year-old to have a gun or for a parent to pass one down to their kid.''

    It's incomprehensible isn't it? In a rational society, giving a gun to a child would be called abuse, or at least, criminal negligence.

    I thought all commonsense went out the window when the RAAF gave me an SLR for induction training, I'm a highly unstable human being at the best of times and then they hand me a weapon like that :eek:

    I don't think Defense Distributed have done anything wrong, really - someone would've done it at some point as 3D printing technology became more readily available. Perhaps it's better that it be them, since they're going through all the proper legal channels to be registered as a manufacturer, doing proper tests etc. If it were just a bunch of randoms, more people would probably end up blowing themselves up.

    Edit - also the Herald Sun article is a bit misleading. The blueprints for the Liberator, if followed to the letter, result in a gun that IS detectable and IS legal, because there's a chunk of non-3D-printed metal in it for that exact reason (and a nail for a firing pin).

    Another 17 shot in New Orleans. By shear luck no one dead. Geees they need more guns to stop this ****e. Armed attendees could have opened fire on the perps. What could go wrong there?
