The new year has brought yet more gun-control regulations. President Obama announced new
executive orders on background checks. Connecticut citizens stood in long lines to register
their guns, and, next door in New York City, registration lists are used to confiscate them.
While the research by criminologists and economists keeps showing that gun control doesn't work,
technological advances and practical problems mean the laws are increasingly likely only to
disarm the law-abiding.
In the era of 3D printing, you won't be able to ban guns and it will be even more difficult
to stop unapproved people from obtaining them. A part metal/part plastic gun printed from a
3D printer will be completely indistinguishable from a traditionally made gun, even down to
whatever serial number you want.
3D printers have consequences for the gun-control laws Obama and other Democrats are pushing.
If AR-15s are banned, anyone could borrow a 3D printer and make one. If magazines holding more
than 10 rounds are banned, and you don't have access to a very simple set of tools, print one off.
