You don't bring a 3D printer to a gun fight -- yet

It could print ceramics that just need baking, and carbon fiber molds.


We could build rockets and nukes with it, better make it illegal.

My father makes his own 45.ACP lead slugs for plinking and reloads his own ammo. Its very easy and a monkey can do it......I'm proof of this.

You want a "plastic" gun? Get a Glock.

Not exactly. I guess you never heard of the "Bic .22". There was an article a few years back in The National Rifleman how to make a working .22 single shot with a bic pen. Those lil' rim fires unless they are magnum or "long" don't have much pressure at all.

You need only one shot to kill a president.
