4. Why would they?

Maker's Mark produces a better bourbon than I could ever make on my own. Why would I try and risk blinding or poisoning myself? Same principle with guns.

5. The analogy is a bit flawed

With a 3-Design printer, you can download schematics designed by someone who knows what they're doing, and the machine will make it automatically, without room for human error.

It would be like if you had a robotic whiskey distillery in your basement that takes a recipe from a boutique, small-batch bourbon distiller in Kentucky and distills, barrels, ages, and bottles it for you, replicating the original perfectly.

8. That sounds way more expensive than just buying a gun, is my point. nt

6. The 3D gun printer hysteria is poutrageous BS

It will never be a measurable source of weapons. It's a distraction. There are how many million guns floating around and I've seen videos of 3 printed guns being used, each of those costing a ton to produce on these expensive printers.

3D printed guns are not and will not be anything more than Internet discussion fodder.

7. No more than they prevent CNC firearms, or AK 'built parties'.

Heck, if I were a nefarious person, I could built a perfectly serviceable and safe zip gun from the plumbing aisle at home depot and the average set of tools in a household garage.

9. Not if they can figure out a way to make a profit off of it. n/t
