A “fully-functional” paper gun? Are they really that stupid?

No, you’re uninformed.

There’s a new technology emerging called “3d printing” which allows a computer to construct physical objects with plastic (and, just emerging now, metal). We’re talking fully three-dimensional stuff of practically any shape and increasing sizes. “Printing” a plastic toy gun is now trivial; the controversy is over improvements in the material leading eventually to “printing” an actual gun.

Star Trek’s “replicator” technology is approaching.
