Those pushing for a disarmed population have been educated to the fact that effective restrictions on arms cannot be achieved without strong government censorship and control over information. The First and Second Amendments in the Bill of Rights reinforce each other and make restrictions on both free expression and the right to keep and bear arms difficult. A spokesperson articulated the protestors passion for a government regulations that the believe will make them safe. From CBS8.com:
SAN DIEGO (NEWS 8) - Protestors of the Del Mar Gun Show addressed the Fair Board on Tuesday afternoon with their newest concerns.(snip)
The protestors want the board to ban sellers of blueprints or anything else that can make 3D-printed guns.
Demonstrators say, “anyone can log on and download the plans to produce the guns. We have to regulate anything that is potentially dangerous. Period. The fact that the internet makes it easier to get these things makes it all the more necessary to have regulations in place.”
On Tuesday, protestors encouraged the board to consider banning any person or business that promotes 3D-printed guns.There have been books published about how to make guns for centuries. Americans have been making their own guns for all of that time. In the 1950s and 1960s, it was common for high school students to make guns as a shop project. A friend of mine made a small pistol. He used a sand-casting technique to make the frame. I and a friend made a small replica cannon.
In an industrial society, guns are easily made with existing and common metal shapes. The Army published a manual on making pistols that are more capablle that the 3D Liberator out of hardware store parts.
The San Diego protestors want a government that controls all parts of life to give them an illusion of safety. Everything is potentially dangerous. According to the protestor, that means everything should be regulated by the government.
It is a concise summation of the Progressive vision of utopia.

Maybe what the world needs is a Devil's Island just for socialists. And once enough socialists are there, fill the majority of the island with migrants found at sea, that no other country will accept.
We need to find our if these Idiots would prefer an unloaded nun chuck handle up side the head. remove one kind of weapon and it will be replaced by another.
Quick way to end a demonstration create a cloud of baking flour dust over that crows and throw a lit match into the cloud, Boom demonstration over.
A cloud of talcum powder would beget a bigger bang than one made from baking flour.
