This week, we’re discussing one of the highest-profile assassinations we’ve seen in a long time. One where the killer used a 3D-printed firearm, and video of the attack has been viewed countless times across the country.

To figure out what effect all of that might have on the homebuilt gun community, we’ve got Rob Pincus back on the show. He’s a part-owner of a licensed firearms company but also the organizer of the Gun Maker’s Match.

He explained what it was like to have a foot in both worlds and explained the evolution of home gun making from the 1990s through today. He said the tech had advanced a great deal over time, but most home builds still require factory-made parts, and he hopes to get the industry more involved in that side of the gun business. However, he admitted this month’s high-profile killing is likely to set those efforts back.

Pincus argued the attention is probably going to bring even more scrutiny to 3D-printing guns. That’s likely to amplify the fight over homebuilt firearms. Still, Pincus said he doubts it’ll lead to new restrictions at the federal, or even the state, level.
