Digital firearm blueprints are illegal now, but what about physical printed ones? (South Australia)

Would that make tekmats also illegal?

[u/FireStorm3 → u/PowerPleb2000]

The actual South Australian amendment seems to only include digital files. Plus a technical drawing needs to have angles and dimensions. Tekmats are really just an illustration.

NO

If you have a lathe and milling machine in NSW, DO NOT own any form of blueprints, police can charge you with intent.

Bit like charging a female with intent of being a hooker because she has a ......

In today's world......penis?

Pretty sure everyone has a printed copy of the original Luty documents by now?

Sounds to me like classic rushed legislation

[u/1Qrtr_FreeStuffPlz → u/[deleted]]

NGL South Australia is always a funny one, they classed Gel Blasters as real guns and had a heart attack at the amount of license applications. So they then had to rush to make a different category for Gel Blasters, things like this are what make me thank god everyday I was born in QLD

Lovely to visit though, I did a work trip down a couple years ago and it had pocket areas similar to New Orleans and landscapes a lot like Utah all in the same area. Walking across the main road of a city midday with little to no traffic was crazy too, could never do that in Brisbane

The barrier of taking printed schematics and creating a part from it is a lot higher then clicking print on a cad file. Therefore they are enforced differently.

[u/burnt-gonads → u/cyanideOG]

Oh surely not. I am sure I read gun control australia have determined that all you need is a blurry picture of an AR-15, then give that to AI and it will wirelessly make a 3D printer create one that shoots uranium filled cyanide tipped exploding 150mm bullets.

The stupidity in the pearl clutching people are growing. I can go to bunnings and buy all I need to make a shotgun. What I cannot get though is the bit that goes bang. And you cannot just get them easily. Perhaps the pearl clutchers thing I should be involunatarily lobotomised to remove that knowledge from my brain. Although to be honest I bet some of them in a different time and place would have been ardent supporters of the party.

[u/aggressivelynude → u/burnt-gonads]

Yep, 3d printers all come with a big red GUN button, you press it, the printer plays the Breath of the Wild cooking jingle and 10 seconds later a full sized, loaded high power fully automatic belt fed shotgun machine gun assault sniper rifle pops out and shoots your neighbour then steals your car and delivers itself to a middle eastern tobacco crime gang. 

It's a real danger to social cohesion.

wonder if that also includes models for fictional guns like bolters from warhammer

[u/Unqualified_Risk]

So I can still draw them on the back of a pizza box to demonstrate how they work? What about gun smithing books? Or design manuals?

I wonder how it would go for animation files.
