Sen. Schumer Wants To Ban 3D-Printing Plastic Guns
Good luck enforcing that, control freak
A Texas company is set to release blueprints for making a plastic gun with a 3-D printer — a development Sen. Chuck Schumer called "stomach-churning" Sunday.
Defense Distributed, a collective of gun access advocates headed by self-described "free-market anarchist" Cody Wilson, has announced it made such an untraceable gun with the new plastic-making technology. The nonprofit Texas group intends to post blueprints for "The Liberator" (pictured) online this week.
The Liberator may look like a toy, but "this gun can fire regular bullets," Schumer said, calling for legislation outlawing the technology's weapons potential.

Why cant we ban Chuck?
The problem with the voting system is you cant have a vote to ban these assholes from politics for life - Chuck would make a much better clown or bellhop
The mere presence of Chuckie can churn the stomach of even a forensic pathologist.
