That's nothing; search for 80% lower. :)

Re: So, what should it be America?

The 20th century saw over a quarter of a BILLION people murdered by their governments worldwide.

You don't need to ask anyone, the proof is in the pudding.

Man 3D prints face grenade, is saved by police

Plastic 3D printed AR-15 lowers fail after a few rounds. I've NEVER seen a 3d printed upper, because the direct impingement gas system actually vents relatively high pressure gas into the upper receiver.

If he really did print the upper with anything but a $10,000+ metal printer, he made a face grenade, not a rifle. The lower failing is not as bad, as you can get a few rounds out of it before the buffer tube arm cracks and the whole things breaks in half.
