Izibhamu eziphrintiwe ze-3D zokwenza ukulawula isibhamu kungenzeki

Ngonyaka odlule, indoda yaseMelika yakha isibhamu ingxenye yephrinta yayo ye-3D. Futhi ngokwenza kanjalo, wembula indawo entsha yamathuba: kungase kuthathe isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba izibhamu zikwazi ukukhiqizwa ezindlini zabantu.

Kuthiwani-ke ngomthetho? Okwamanje, izibhamu zepulasitiki e-United States azikho emthethweni ngaphansi kwe-Undetectable Firearms Act njengoba izitholi zensimbi zingakwazi ukubona ipulasitiki. Ukuchitshiyelwa kwalo Mthetho kwavuselelwa ngo-2013. Nokho, lokhu kuvuselelwa akuzange kufake ukutholakala kobuchwepheshe bokuphrinta be-3D.

UKhongolose uSteve Israel uthi ufuna ukwethula umthetho ozovala izibhamu zepulasitiki njengalezo ezenziwe ngephrinta. Ngakolunye uhlangothi njengoba kwabikwa yiForbes Magazine, ukuvinjelwa kuka-Israel akucaci: “Omagazini bepulasitiki ne-polymer abanomthamo ophezulu sebevamile, futhi okwamanje abahlanganiswa nomthetho wamanje Wezibhamu Ezingabonakali. Ngakho-ke kubonakala sengathi i-Israel izodinga ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwalabo magazini bepulasitiki nabaphrintekayo be-3D, noma ivimbele ukutholakala kwawo wonke amamagazini angeyona insimbi ephezulu.”

I-congressman ithi ayizami ukulawula ukusetshenziswa kwe-inthanethi noma ukuphrinta kwe-3D - nje ukwenziwa kwenqwaba yezibhamu zepulasitiki. Uthi ukhathazekile ngokuthi abathanda isibhamu bangakwazi ukuphrinta isamukeli esincane sesikhali sabo. Umamukeli ophansi uphethe izingxenye zomshini zesibhamu, ezihlanganisa ukubamba isibhamu nesiphathi sebhawudi. Leyo ngxenye inenombolo yesiriyeli yesibhamu, okuyingxenye elawulwa uhulumeni yedivayisi. Ngakho isibhamu singadalwa ngokoqobo ngaphandle kolwazi lukahulumeni noma ikhono lokubulala isikhali. 

Engxoxweni abe nayo neForbes, u-Israel uyachaza umthetho wakhe: “Akekho ozama ukuphazamisa indlela abantu abangena ngayo i-Internet. Sizama nje ukwenza kube nzima kakhulu kumuntu ukwenza isibhamu sokuzenzela egumbini lakhe elingaphansi...ufuna ukulanda ipulani, asisondeli kulokho. Ufuna ukuthenga iphrinta ye-3D futhi wenze okuthile, uthenge iphrinta ye-3D futhi wenze okuthile. Kodwa uma uzolanda ipulani yesikhali sepulasitiki esingalethwa endizeni, kunenhlawulo okufanele ikhokhwe.”

U-Israel uthi uhlela ukufaka ngokuqondile izingxenye zezibhamu eziphrintiwe ze-3D njengengxenye ye-Undetectable Firearms Act, umthetho ovimbela ukutholakala kwanoma yisiphi isikhali okungadlula kumtshina wensimbi. Nokho iDefence Distributed iyaphikisana. Le nhlangano esekela izibhamu ikholelwa ukuthi kuyilungelo laseMelika ukuba nomnikazi, ukusebenza futhi manje ukwakha isibhamu. Futhi bakwenzile lokho. UCody Wilson, umholi we-Defence Distributed nongumfundi wezomthetho eTexas University, uthi inhloso yaleli qembu ukuxosha imithetho yezibhamu eMelika nasemhlabeni.

INSELELE EMITHETHO YEZIBHAMU

UWilson nozakwabo bathumele ividiyo ye-YouTube yabo bedubula isibhamu se-Colt M-16, abathi senziwa kakhulu ngephrinta ye-3D. Ividiyo isibukwe izikhathi ezingaphezu kuka-240,000. I-Defence Distributed iphinde yahlela i-Wiki Weapon Project, ehlose ukusabalalisa amapulani alandekayo ezibhamu ezenziwe ekhaya.

Ifakwe kuwebhusayithi yabo futhi ikhuluma ne-Huffington Post, Iphrojekthi ye-Wiki Weapon ihlose ukubekela uHulumeni wase-United States inselelo nemithetho yakhe yezibhamu. Bafaka ukuphikisana kwabo nemithetho kahulumeni kusizindalwazi sabo: “Ohulumeni baziphatha kanjani uma ngolunye usuku kufanele basebenze becabangela ukuthi noma yisiphi isakhamuzi siyakwazi ukuthola isibhamu ngokushesha nge-Internet? Ake sithole."

I-Defence Distributed igcizelela ukuthi uma abantu befuna ukudubula izibhamu bazodubula, futhi kuyilungelo labo ukudubula. Kubantu abalimala endleleni, bayaxolisa. “Ayikho into ongayisho kumzali ososizini, kodwa lokho akusona isizathu sokuthula. Angilahlekelwa ngamalungelo ami ngoba umuntu uyisigebengu,” kusho uWilson etshela iDigitaltrends.com.

“Abantu bathi uzovumela abantu ukuthi bahlukumeze abantu, lokho kungenye yamaqiniso abuhlungu enkululeko. Abantu baxhaphaza inkululeko,” kusho umfundi wezomthetho waseTexas University etshela i-digittrends.com kwenye inhlolokhono. "Kodwa lokho akusona izaba zokungabi nawo lawa malungelo noma ukuzizwa kahle ngomunye umuntu ekuphuca wona."

Ku-Wall Street Journal, u-Israel ucashunwe ebiza iphrojekthi kaWilson ngokuthi “ayinakekeli ngokuyisisekelo.” Noma kunjalo, ukwenza isibhamu ekhaya lomuntu akuwona umqondo omusha. Eqinisweni, abathandi bezibhamu sebeneminyaka bezenzela ezabo izibhamu futhi akuzange kuthathwe njengokungemthetho. UGinger Colburn, okhulumela i-Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms utshele i-Economist ukuthi "amapeni, izincwadi, amabhande, amakilabhu -- uyazisho -- abantu sebeyiphendule isibhamu."

OKUMTHETHO NOMA CHA, ABANTU BAZITHOLA ABANGAYIBHAMU

Abanye abenzi benqubomgomo kanye nabaculi abaphikisana nezibhamu bathi izibhamu eziphrintiwe ze-3D zizoholela ekusetshenzisweni kwesikhali, okusabalele, okuzoholela odlameni oludlangile, olusabalele. Bheka eka-Helen Lovejoy, "umuntu othile ucabanga ngezingane!"

Kodwa uWilson uthi uma umuntu efuna ngempela isibhamu, uzothola isibhamu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi singekho emthethweni noma cha. “Angibuboni ubufakazi obubambekayo bokuthi ukutholakala kwezibhamu kunyusa izinga lobugebengu obunodlame. Uma umuntu efuna ukufaka isandla esibhamuni, uzobamba isibhamu,” etshela iForbes. “Lokhu kuvula iminyango eminingi. Noma yikuphi ukuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe kuye kwaphakamisa le mibuzo. Akucaci ukuthi lokhu kuyinto enhle nje. Kodwa inkululeko nokuzibophezela kuyethusa.” 

Nakuba kungase kudumaze ukwazi ukuthi noma ubani angakwazi ukulanda futhi aphrinte isibhamu, uMichael Weinberg, ummeli wePublic Knowledge, inhlangano engenzi nzuzo egxile ekufinyeleleni komphakathi olwazini naku-inthanethi, ukholelwa ukuthi ukuvimbela ukulawulwa kwezibhamu akusebenzi. U-Weinberg wesaba ukulawulwa budlabha ngokuphrinta kwe-3D ngaphezu kwezibhamu ezifinyeleleka kalula.

“Uma unobuchwepheshe obujwayelekile, buzosetshenziselwa izinto ongafuni ukuthi abantu babusebenzisele bona. Lokho akusho ukuthi akulungile noma akukho emthethweni. Ngeke ngisebenzise iphrinta yami ye-3D ukwenza isikhali, kodwa ngeke ngilwe nabantu abazokwenza lokho,” etshela iForbes. Endabeni efanayo, uveza nokuthi isibhamu sepulasitiki ngeke sisebenze kahle kunesensimbi. Nokho, inqobo nje uma isibhamu sepulasitiki singadubula inhlamvu ngesivinini se-warp, sibonakala sisebenza ngokwanele.

Ukuphrinta nge-3D kuwubuchwepheshe obubiza kakhulu. I-Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ibike ukuthi umshini owodwa ungabiza noma yikuphi phakathi kuka-$9,000 kuya ku-$600,000. Noma kunjalo, amakhompyutha nawo ayebiza ngesinye isikhathi. Kuphephile ukusho ukuthi lobu buchwepheshe buyashintsha umdlalo futhi kungenzeka ukuthi ngolunye usuku buyoba into evamile yasendlini.

Futhi inkinga isele: Ukwenza isifungo sokuvimba izigebengu ekwenzeni izibhamu? ICongressman Israel ithi ikholelwa ukuthi inesixazululo kule nkinga. Uthi akanyatheli ngenkululeko yanoma ngubani ngenkathi ezama ukuvikela ukuphepha komphakathi. Kodwa kuze kube yilapho ukuphrinta kwe-3D kwanda kakhulu, u-Israyeli umane udubula ebumnyameni.
