Texas man sentenced in 3D-printed gun case

[billh58]

Authorities say he referred to himself as “Eric the Ruler” and he wanted to get a gun.

According to court records, in 2016, Eric McGinnis went to a federally-licensed gun dealer in Texas to attempt to buy a firearm, but he was stopped from doing so after a required criminal background check revealed a 2015 protective order against him, stemming from an "act of family violence" against his girlfriend.

By flagging him as a prohibited purchaser, the federal background check system appeared to work as designed. By state and federal law, McGinnis was barred from possessing a firearm.

But the story didn’t end there. In 2016, McGinnis sidestepped the background check by using a 3D printer to build an AR-15 assault rifle.

The last paragraph in the article states: "McGinnis was convicted in June on both firearms counts and on Wednesday he was sentenced to eight years in prison plus three years of supervised release." Common sense and reasonable gun control protect society again.

In 2016, McGinnis sidestepped the background check by using a 3D printer to build an AR-15 assault rifle.

He should next use the 3D printer to fabricate a winch to get his head out of his ass.
Hmm, on second thought, maybe just better to leave it there, won't be able to aim the assault rifle very well.
