Ok, this comment will probably stir things up a little! but I disagree about 3D printing giving people the opertunaty to print weapons! The equipment to manufacture weapons has been publicly availably for hundreds of years! what has stopped people from making weapons in their own homes you may ask??? the lack of knowlage of the weapons design. The real future danger is not the 3D printer....its the open ness of the design files for the weapons. This is where control and oversight is required!

if you banned 3D printers today, people can still go out buy a lathe or a mill, and make a weapon. because the design files publicly are available.

let me know your thoughts! Be gentile its my 1st post..lol.
