I made a very general joke.

3d printed gun designs

Then you said

Just an FYI, that's not illegal because it falls under the U.S. Constitutional protection of free speech; so also is printing and constructing them. Selling them or distributing guns as physical products is not protected, and is in fact illegal.

'3d printed guns' includes fully automatic guns.

You then said printing or constructing them is not illegal and is protected by Freedom of Speech.

Then I pointed out that 3d printed guns includes automatic weapons.

At this point, I do not actually know if you are aware that you /can/ find designs for fully automatic weapons on some 3d printed gun sites, and that there are, as I mentioned, a lot of people who are very adamant about that being fine and totally legal.

Again, hence my semi-ironic disclaimer to the FBI/ATF.

How do you think I know there are 3d printed full auto designs, usually in .22lr?

I say 'Semi-Ironic' because I may actually be on a relatively low priority watch list simply for browsing such sites.

I promise you are not on a watch list for looking at 3D printer files. This is the kind of shit the ATF likes to spread to scare people.
