In July, I announced the 3D AR Challenge in response to idiots like CA AG Becerra, and CNN’s Avlon, who pretend to believe that people are printing all-plastic, “undetectable” (and probably “fully semi-automatic”) AR-15.

OK; Becerra’s from California; he might really believe that.

The challenge: 3D-print a fully-functional, plastic AR-15, and successfully demonstrate it. The first person to do so will win 10 rounds of equally functional, 100% plastic 3D-printed .223 Remington ammunition.

The deadline was August 31.

I regret to inform you that not a single entry was received. I don’t understand; all the victim-disarming rights violators swore this was a thing.[/sarc]

On the bright side, I’m hoping this meant no easily propagandized idiot tried making one and injured or killed himself.

Or maybe someone did, and that’s why they were unable to contact me to enter. Think of it as evolution in action.*

At any rate, Becerra e al, were and are full of… s something other than facts.
