Yes Another 3D Printed Gun - Semi-automatic Ruger Charger Pistol
Well, for those of you that despise the news of 3D printed weapons, here is another one for you. A man that goes by the nickname Buck O'Fama has created a video depicting himself firing a gun (semi-automatic Ruger Charger) that he claims was printed using a 3D printer. Not the entire gun was 3D printed, but the illegal-to-obtain part was. The receiver of the gun was 3D printed in 2 parts and then according to O'Fama crazy-glued together. A video and more details of this can be found at http://3dprint.com/8398/3d-printed-gun-semi-automatic/

What do you think? Is this a good or bad thing? What will this do for 3D Printing?
Mass shootings every week?

America, not the only place where mass shootings occur, but the only place where they happen every week. Sad.
Giving publicity to some trumped up story about a guy who has made a part of a gun and focussing on the 3D Printing element helps no-one.
A great technology emerges and what does the US media focus on? Printing Guns, like you need more gun news.
The Govt has lost? No, I'm afraid it's the American people who have lost.
Every country has mass killings. We don't have mass shootings every week. The cities in the US with the most deaths are also the same cities with the strictest gun control (Chicago, NY, LA). The worst mass killer at a school in the US used dynamite and his car.
Printed guns can change the debate about these killings toward the real problems and away from a simple mechanical tool.
