3D-Printed Gun "Factory" Discovered in Brazil

We have a story of the continuing disintegration of gun control in Brazil. Weapons made in Novo Hamburgo using 3D printers feature high-quality steel and good shooting accuracy. This is by way of Google Translate, so it may be a bit rough.

The "factory" consisted of a couple of 3D printers, a decent computer, and some basic hand tools. If you're reading this, probably the only thing you don't have is a 3D printer.

The seven submachine guns seized late Friday afternoon (27) in a house in the Vila Diehl neighborhood, in Novo Hamburgo , were of similar quality to police weapons, according to delegate Ayrton Martins, from the Organized Crime Repression Division (Draco). “In addition to being accurate, the weapons also have quality control, so much so that the steel used is of good quality,” he mentioned.

The weapons being produced were the FGC-9. (The image above is of an unrelated FGC-9) That, of course, stands for "F- Gun Control, 9mm." It is one of the standard 3D printed plans that have been refined over the past few years. The ease of manufacture is what has the Left, and dictators the world over, having fits about 3D printers.

I'm sure someone will point out that the city in question, Porto Alegre, is heavily influenced by the Bala na Cara (Bullet in the Face – BNC) gang. Why? To prove that guns are bad because some people are bad. Or something.

The weapons were sold for 10,000 Brazilian reais, which is just under $2000 each. The Brazilian police are embarking on a game of Wac-a-Mole. One thing I have come to believe in, over the years, is that markets work. The more government tries to lock down a commodity, the more a market will spring up to supply the demand.

It looks like the future of gun control is looking rather choppy at this rate.
