All I have to say is C O O L !

I’ve been following this issue for sometime now. And as a matter of sharing a “historical event”. I thought I’d post this link here for everyone’s review.

For a time, “Defense Distributed” could only print some parts of a firearm. Now it looks like they’ve finally put together the entire package in a prototype! (Minus ammunition of course…)

A reminder - be very VERY wary of any political discussion surrounding this item at aa.org.

@CWO:

@CWO:

By the way I once visited the Washington Navy Yard, where one of the Enterprise’s anchors is on display. � That was a real treat to see.

I was in Seattle last year and looked out onto the Sound and knew that the navy yard was just a few miles across the way. Wish I could have gotten over there.

Um, I was referring to Washington D.C. I’d love to visit the naval facilities in the Puget Sound area, but the only place on the West Coast where I’ve been is San Diego – which I was lucky enough to visit at the day when the USS Midway crossed over to the pier where she became a museum ship. I still have the CV-41 baseball cap I picked up as a souvenir.

My apologies, I thought you were talking about Bremerton, WA. I didn’t know that DC had a navy yard, being on a river and all.

The discovery was due in part to the increased pressure of plasma from a recent coronal mass ejection from the sun and how it effected the probe, which could only occur if the probe was already in interstellar space.

The second Voyager is about 2 years away from leaving the solar system as well.

Candyman67,
Thanks! I thought of that and then let it slip from my mind. Guess I was a little tired and distracted(not to mention lazy, ZZZZZZZZ.)

Yanny,
It’s been done this way since it started.

Do you really think that with, let’s say, a 1 to 10 vote majority in the US House of Reps. any party in power wants to throw away their majority? Give it time and it will happen… say in California as businesses and citizens tire of paying increased taxes to pay off a 36 BILLION $ debt.

What are we to do? Create a 5 member panel in each state to gerrymander their states and another one for the US redistricting?
Let’s see…each committee must consist of 1 registered Democrat, 1 registered Republican, 1 unaffiliated conservative, 1 unaffiliated liberal and 1 unaffiliated moderate.
But who determines what an unaffiliated moderate is? Who represents the first time voters? What about states where there are 1 registered Democrat, 1 registered Republican, and 3 unaffiliated liberals? What about the Libertarian or Green Party representation?
Think of the permutations with only 5 members on a panel! AAARG! You do the math.

I henceforth declare myself an independent! Heh! Heh! Heh!

I agree. For logistic reasons it is far easier for Japan to defend itself than it is for the US to attack it. Japan should be able to destroy most of the USs initial navy in round 1 while retaining most of its own fleet. There is no reason for Japan to build a navy to confront the USs navy if the US goes after Japan. Japan should be building a force of tanks to go after Russia and if the US wants to go after Japan that force can easily be turned on the US if Japan has to defend NE Asia. Japan should retain several fighters that are great for defense as well and one round of buying infantry can go a long way towards providing a defense against the US if they are foolish enough to go after Japan. Remember, it only costs Japan 3 ipcs for a unit of infantry in Asia and 5 for an armor plus a one shot 15 or so for an IC or two. It costs the US 7 for a unit of infantry ((3+3+8)/2) that only attack at a 1, and 13 for a tank (5+8).

Germany would love to have to contend with two countries rather than three. US goes after Japan is a very bad move IMO.

U

why would you buy a tank first turn?
if you have an extra $5 first turn as Japan, then buy tech or an inf or two.
