Cool. But the one I was waiting for is either: prettier, or simply less ugly.

Frightened old men attempt to legislate technology out of existence ... again.
QUOTE New York Congressman Steve Israel (D-Huntington) issued a statement calling for an extension of the Undetectable Firearms Act, as well as clauses dealing specifically with 3D-printed gun parts.
...
One of the chief criticisms of 3D-printed handguns is that when Wilson releases the 3D-printable CAD files for the Liberator, there will be a lot of people who will print the gun without following the rules. Furthermore, the Register reports that there’s nothing in the design of the Liberator that makes the metal component necessary.
This is a 100% effective way to deal with this new innovation because no criminals are smart enough to figure this out on their own. I think they're all still using slings or bows and arrows, which are from the same era Steve Israel is living in.
QUOTE The revamped Undetectable Firearms Act that Rep. Israel wrote makes it illegal to manufacture, own, transport, buy, or sell any firearm, receiver, or magazine that is homemade and not detectable by metal detector and/or does not present an accurate image when put through an x-ray machine.
Yep. That'll stop 'em.

Just one more law they can charge you with when you commit a single "crime." Reminds me of the newish law that says it is illegal to have false data in your DNS registry, IF you use that domain name to commit a crime. They will charge you with whatever crime you committed, and the fake DNS info.
So it's all dumb.

The whole point is you can't stop it with legislation. Clearly these old guiys aren't getting that point.

More uproar from stuffy, old white dudes.
QUOTE Californian senator Leland Yee said he wanted a law passed to stop the manufacture of 3D-printed guns.
"I plan to introduce legislation that will ensure public safety and stop the manufacturing of guns that are invisible to metal detectors and that can be easily made without a background check," he said in a statement.
According to Defense Distributed, most of the 100,000 downloads have been in the US, followed by Spain, Brazil, Germany and the UK.
Hmm, only 100K? Â Man, that's barely a dent. Â Still, I'd expect governments to take legal actions, mainly because like the UK and US, they're run by scared, old men who still cower in terror and amazement whenever an incandescent lightbulb provides illumination.
QUOTE The blueprint has also been uploaded to file-sharing site the Pirate Bay, where it has become the most popular file in the site's 3D-printing category.
Booyah.

I'm tempted to download it myself and find interesting new ways to spread it around, and I don't even have a 3-d printer.
Maybe embed it as hidden metadata in a jpg that goes viral?

Copy it to a thumb drive, give it to a kid to take to school, and call the police and tell them a child has the specs to make a plastic gun in his bookbag, and see if they lock down the school.

Just wait until some kid does that at a school with a 3-D printer. Granted, he'll need some ammo.

Or a picture of a 3D printer.

Government orders them to remove the drawings.
Guess they've never heard of file sharing...

QUOTE The blueprints have already been downloaded 100,000 times and are being held by fellow digital renegade Kim Dotcom in his offshore New Zealand servers. For further insurance, the files have also been uploaded to the popular file-sharing network, the Pirate Bay (we can feel our anarchist readers getting goosebumps right now).
I'm supposed to believe the U.S. gov't, that routinely has its machines hacked to shit by China and fuck knows who else, has the techie wherewithal to enforce this? Â HAHAHAHAHAHA. Â Go ahead, make all the laws you want. Â It's out. Â I'm waiting for the first automatic weapon to be printed.
Wonder how long until the first D.C. politician gets shot by one of these. Furthermore, what happens if I set up a few ships just outside international waters and open up a floating gun shop?

I would think this is getting bigger backlash internationally. America has no lack of guns already.
