3D printers - something else for liberals to regulate out of business. These printers will soon revolutionize the prototyping of inventions. If we keep electing people like Obama, the U.S. may be left watching people in countries like India and China lead that revolution. In the not so distant future, it will probably become commonplace for people to download designs for all sorts of spare parts like knobs, handles, buttons, etc. and print them on a 3D printer in the privacy of their own home. This will happen, with or without government meddling because the printers are becoming almost self-replicating. Buy one, make two...

Quote:Ctrl+P = Gun?: Printing firearms at home with 3D printers now a reality[/INDENT]
Want to create a plastic, usable handgun in your own home? Thanks to a Texas law student, all it takes is a 3D printer.
Cody Wilson, 25, founded Defense Distributed, a nonprofit organization that has worked since August to create the worldâs first entirely 3D-printable weapon, according to Forbes. The plan has come to fruition, as he announced the plan to make the blueprint for such a gun available online in the coming days.
All sixteen pieces of the weapon were made with plastic, except for a single firing pin, Forbes reports. The gun is designed to fire standard handgun rounds, using interchangeable barrels for different calibers of ammunition.
