When high tech gunsmith group Defense Distributed test-fired the world’s first fully 3D-printed firearm earlier this month, some critics dismissed the demonstration as expensive and impractical, arguing it could only be done with a high-end industrial 3D printer and that the plastic weapon wouldn’t last more than a single shot. Now a couple of hobbyists have proven them wrong on both counts.

One evening late last week, a Wisconsin engineer who calls himself “Joe” test-fired a new version of that handgun printed on a $1,725 Lulzbot A0-101 consumer-grade 3D printer, far cheaper than the one used by Defense Distributed. Joe, who asked that I not reveal his full name, loaded the weapon with .380 caliber rounds and fired it nine times, using a string to pull its trigger for safety.

The weapon survived all nine shots over the course of an evening, as you can see in the YouTube video below. (The clip was filmed by Michael Guslick, a fellow Wisconsin engineer who helped Joe with his tests and who is known for printing one of the first working lower receivers for AR-15 semi-automatic rifles.)

The former U.S. attorney in Arizona sought to undermine criticisms by a veteran Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent concerning the botched “Fast and Furious” gunrunning operation with his release to the media of an internal agency memorandum, the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General said Monday in a report.

Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz said ATF Agent John Dodson had provided significant information regarding the agency’s handling of the Fast and Furious probe and was retaliated against by U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke through the unauthorized disclosure in late June 2011 of an ATF memo the agent had drafted.

Mr. Horowitz, in the report, said Mr. Burke, who resigned after the Fast and Furious scandal had become media fodder, provided the memo to a Fox News producer in violation of Justice Department policies — a disclosure that “was likely motivated by a desire to undermine” Agent Dodson’s public criticisms.

The Dodson memo was among the documents the Justice Department had produced to or made available for review by two Congressional committees in connection with their investigation of Fast and Furious.

A 20-year-old man has confessed to smothering a 14-year-old girl, keeping her body in a suitcase, and trying to set her remains on fire because she would not have an abortion, police say.

Christian Ferdinand smothered Shaniesha Forbes with a pillow inside his cousin’s Brooklyn apartment after she told him she was carrying his baby and refused to abort, according to charges lodged against the Jamaican-born man.

Police say he stuffed her body inside a suitcase and left it in his cousin’s building for two days before unsuccessfully attempting to burn her corpse.

Authorities last week made an agreement not to prosecute a Northwest D.C. man who used his unregistered handgun to kill a pit bull in order to stop it from mauling a child in his neighborhood.

As part of the agreement, Benjamin Srigley, 39, was required to pay a $1,000 fine but will not have criminal charges filed against him for the three unregistered firearms and the ammunition that investigators found in his possession, said Ted Gest, a spokesman for the office of the attorney general.

“We took it into account that he saved this boy’s life,” Mr. Gest said.

Possession of an unregistered firearm or ammunition in the District is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine, and prosecutors said Mr. Srigley could have faced up to seven criminal charges in the case.

“In our recent memory this is a unique charge because of the unusual circumstances of this case,” said Mr. Gest, whose office generally prosecutes low-level crime in the District.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg used a commencement speech to push his gun-control agenda, telling graduates of Kenyon College in Ohio that gun control is “something you really should think about.”

Bloomberg, who co-chairs Mayors Against Illegal Guns, spent at least $14 million in support of legislation that would have required universal background checks for all gun-buyers. Although the bill died in the Senate on April 17, Bloomberg said the battle isn’t over.

“I believe we will win, sooner or later, because I believe that all of you, your generation more than any other at least since the 1960s, is reshaping society in fundamental ways by making your values known and your voices heard.”

Bloomberg said Congress’s failure to pass the gun control bill was “Washington at its worst — the worst thing that it’s ever done.”

Cops haul Elliot Morales from the Sixth Precinct after his arrest in the cold-blooded killing of a gay man Saturday.

The bigoted ex-con accused with a hate crime for shooting dead a gay man in Greenwich Village laughed and boasted about the murder shortly after he was arrested, prosecutors said yesterday.

“Yeah, I shot him in the head,” sneered Elliot Morales, 33, while “laughing on the ground” when cops were handcuffing him for shooting Mark Carson, 32, early Saturday morning.

Morales today was held without bail on charges of second-degree murder as a hate crime, menacing and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, court records show.

 

He is accused of harassing Carson and a pal while they were walking on Sixth Avenue near West Eighth Street around midnight on Saturday.

“Look at these faggots,” said Morales, who was accompanied by two friends, according to police.

“What are you, gay wrestlers?” he challenged Carson and his pal, who were wearing boots, cut-off shorts and tank tops.

Carson and his friend kept walking to avoid a confrontation, but Morales — whose pals left him before he turned violent — followed the duo and asked Carson, “Do you want to die here?”

Morales allegedly pulled out a silver Taurus .38-caliber revolver and blasted the man in the cheek. Carson died shortly after at Beth Israel Hospital.

In court today, Manhattan prosecutor Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said authorities have footage of a crazed Morales spewing homophobic remarks at Annisa Restaurant staff and threatening to put a bullet through a bartender’s forehead if he called cops.

“Are you afraid?” he barked minutes before the alleged shooting. “Do you watch the news? Do you know what happened in Sandy Hook?’’
