Quote: Free software that allows anyone to make a working gun using a 3D printer has been posted online by a Texas-based group that says it aims to challenge gun control.

As time goes by people gain knowledge and knowledge is dangerous as we know. Which is why the Egyptians kept secrets. One day we will all see the light and we will all be gone in a flash. Such is life.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Said pistol also gets only a few shots before it melts and becomes useless.
Call me when they can print bullets and gunpowder.

If you're that hard up for a firearm, you're probably better off just making a zip gun.

Some thoughts from Paul Hsieh at Forbes:
Quote:
However, current law already allows home hobbyists to build their own firearms provided they are for personal use only (and not for sale). Such guns are already “untraceable.” 3D-printing doesn’t change that basic fact — it merely allows a wider range of hobbyists without specialized machine shop skills to do what’s already legal. |

The security industry should pay these guys a lot of money. They've just ensured we'll have full-body scanners and gunpowder sniffers at every government building and airport forever.

The blueprints have been downloaded more than 100,000 times.
Immigrant Charles Cooke notes: Quote:
Just now, I noted that 100,000 people have already downloaded the digital blueprints to Defense Distributed’s 3D-printable gun. This gem was among the comments on my post: |

Update: the blueprints have been taken down at the request of the Federal government.
