re: #17 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
3D printed guns are ideal for only the worst-case scenario: Someone who wants something “quick and dirty” that will kill a few people and then blow up. They can also make them quite strong; some people make car parts for select applications. I wouldn’t rule out the immense popularity and utility of 3D printed gun components as a black-market industry for people looking to proliferate gun violence.
But let’s be clear - nobody’s gonna be able to 3D print a working AR15, for example. We’re talking zip guns.
