Don’t tell the US government, or they will want a database and background checks for 3D printers

“Don’t tell the US government, or they will want a database and background checks for 3D printers”

I’m sure your statement is tongue-in-cheek — or maybe not?

The powers-that-be must be watching the fledgling “print your own gun” movement with fear in their hearts.

Regardless how strict the laws limiting purchasing of guns and rifles become — what if folks could just download freely-available files, and print up weapons of their own?

I sense that as the “print-your-own” weapons movement burgeons, we’ll see increasing moves by government to restrict the sale of ammunition. We’re seeing that now in places like New York state, etc.

The “defense distributed” guys better be watchin’ their backs...
