How responsible is this?
Quote:
Working gun can be made by anyone using a 3D printer - Americas - World - The Independent I thought that maybe this should have it's own thread, since theoretically this has the potential of making any current gun control measures obsolete, along with most detection. My question is how irresponsible can this individual be? He literally shot the first successful recorded bullet from said gun and then posted and advertised the blueprints hours later. The chance of a threat in an airplane or courthouse just increased 10 fold, if not more, overnight. |

Maybe it's the 32 hours I've been awake, but defcad looks far too much like defecate to me.

Give me a break, might as well argue that if the founding fathers had foreseen this technology...Scalia-esque interpretations of the constitution...2nd amendment...batshit crazy doom and gloom the world is coming to an end and we need to protect ourselves from Obama....add in the pseudo-communist people owning the means of production thing for a few extra laughs...and it has the potential to turn into something worrisome indeed. I don't really know what a crypto-anarchist is, but the quotes from that guy in the article I read last night (which may or may not have been the one you linked, since I didn't check), made me want to punch the guy in the face. |

This was inevitable and there will be more problems aside from guns. What do you do though? Make blueprints illegal? If someone wants to print a gun for illegal use, nobody will know until they use it anyway, so banning them is pointless. The only real step to take is to make the penalty for being in possession of one ridiculously strict.

This was a publicity stunt gone horribly wrong. Here's a young college Republican that can't see beyond his nose, and he just placed the weapon in his enemy's hands. |

Hold on, we need to back way up here.
What in fuck is a 3D printer?

Oh, absolutely. I just find it interesting(for a lack of a better word) that it came from this particular individual. His politics(of fear) will feed his own fear.

I guess the more I think about it, I was aware this existed, but...holy shit, this might be the scariest technology, from a potential level, I have seen in my lifetime.

How the hell do you print something with internal moving parts, like a gun? That's crazy.

![]() Apparently you can buy a 3D printer at Staples, which puts them in the running for most evil chain store or something. |

I really don't see what makes 3D printers any more evil or terrifying than, you know, a whole damn bunch of other things humanity has invented.
And yeah, I'm well aware of the link posted at the top of the thread and I still think widespread guns are dangerous, even of the guns look like they were purchased at Cheap as Chips, but I still think the coolness factor of 3D printers outweighs the inevitability of dickish stuff like this. |

Yeah I don't care at all really. Sounds like one of those classic inventions that could potentially be soiled by assholes doing their thing. Like the internet.

We have one where I work. The problem is the stuff is so expensive you might as well just buy whatever it is you're trying to replicate. For example there is a small plastic piece of equipment that I use to build (dog) agility equipment they could easily replicate for me but it's probably 5 times cheaper for me to just order more of those parts and pay the shipping.
