On gun control: I think they need to work on some of the access issues, but for the most part, the cat is out of the bag. There are already functional prototypes of 3D printed, functional guns. You can now print them out at home. Besides, there are already huge amounts of weapons out there. I think the latest swipe on gun control is bound to fail. |
There was a single case of somebody printing a lower (read: a single part) for an AR-15, and it blew up after fifteen rounds. Keep in mind, the lower is not the part that takes the most force, and it blew up.
You can't build a lot of the parts from 3d printed plastic, so the theory that you can print an accurate, safe gun is absurd. Metal parts in guns are metal for a reason. In addition, any prototype weapon made completely from a printer is just that, a prototype, something that CEO's can see and approve before making the parts in metal. |
