When any government deprives a citizen of his freedom or property, the individual must take action to publicise his grievances. To this end, I hope to illustrate in the following pages, the futility of gun control, and that no amount of arbitrary legislation can ever prevent those wanting firearms from owning them. The individual who has the ability to construct his own homemade gun can never be permanently disarmed by any level of gun control legislation. - Philip Luty

<p><em>“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”</em> - Jeff Cooper</p>

<p>The 3D Printer has significantly advanced the ease of manufacturing reliable weapons absent the eye of the watchful state. Of course, it is not the only manufacturing tool available, but you will find it the most expedient.</p>
<p>The following guides provide a basic introduction to 3D printed firearms. If your budget is limited, Creality printers may be the only option. But they are unreliable, and you may spend more time troubleshooting issues than printing. We recommend Prusa for their reliability and <ahref="https://blog.prusa3d.com/the-state-of-open-source-in-3d-printing-in-2023_76659/"><strong>unwavering commitment to open source</strong></a>. Bambu Lab printers have recently gained in popularity for their speed, reliability, and multi-material options. However, they have a <ahref="https://www.mdpi.com/2411-5134/8/6/141"><strong>history of patenting established open source designs</strong></a>, and even more importantly, <ahref="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-90nys9too"><strong>severely compromise your privacy</strong></a>. <ahref="https://blogg.karlsbakk.net/2022/11/23/bambu-lab-x1-carbon-the-flipside/"><strong>More information here</strong></a>. On this principle, we recommend against giving them your money.</p>
<p>As you evaluate printers and cad software, keep privacy at the top of your mind. While this practice may currently be legal in your jurisdiction, the state may kidnap and jail you anyway.</p>
