Guy in the US won his case to publish CAD files for firearms
More to be added in he future
Files will be available in August
I don’t know what the laws on part acquisitions in SA are but this would be a game changer
Especially as it pertains to gun control and self defence
Ditsem! @Frederick Bernal, you just advanced to level 1!
SA gun laws are causing chaos at the moment.
What part of the firearm is considered the “gun” itself in SA?
In the US and in Canada just the receiver is the firearm
Everything else can be acquired with out a license or permit in general
In the UK it is the bolt, and trigger mechanism
Or is it the case that in SA every component is regulated?
Im just asking on GOSA facebook group.
Ok
Hmm
From what I can find it seems “main firearm component” means the barrel, frame, receiver, slide, bolt or breech-block of a firearm
That is more onerous than what the UK has to deal with
Huh
What is your source for info on componet regulations in SA?
One second
Page 6
Right at the top
Basically under definitions
Further I found more info on a forum on the topic back in 2012
Barrel needs to be registered with your license it seems
Thanks Frederick
Well enjoy the CAD files, for educational purposes
Ditsem! @Frederick Bernal, you just advanced to level 2!
Its stupidly difficult to get a gun licence now, my cousin needed a police officer to sign his form and in the police station a black officer said "why do you need a gun? your going to kill my people with it?' and tore it up.
That is stupid
yaman and the irony is that we all had guns and handed them over in the amnesty
It would be interesting to know those numbers
I imagine some people held back some
Even here in Canada when we had 4-5 million licensed people only half opted in the new licensed system
That was back in the 90s
will never get them all, also i suspect that they sold alot of them to criminals or 'lost' them
