fascist monopoly on weapons.
Maybe
this list will inform you on the exact level of fascism and monopolizing of gun manufacturing we are dealing with. Just...truly astonishing.
On topic, i suppose there's nothing inherently wrong with this method of mass-production, but there's going to need to be a shitload of regulating and security to keep every owner of a 3D Printer from getting their hands on weapon blueprints.
No, there doesn't need to be extra regulation and security. That kind of shit is what prompted things like printable weapons in the first place.

besides, humans would kill each other senseless even if guns where never invented, so we all just get over that now or would we like to piss and moan about about 'how much better it'd be with out guns', when in reality all that would mean is more brutal murders more often
Woah, in what reality would no guns lead to more murders? I get that the murders would be more brutal, or at the very least require more physical effort on the part of the murderer (although to be honest I don't care squat about how brutal am murder is, someone is dead at the end of it and the method of getting there is irrelevant), but I can't really see the number of murders actually
increasing on account of the absence of guns. Does not having access to guns make people hulk out and murder from rage at the loss of freedom or something?
sorry for sounding like it would, but that seems to be the general vibe of the 'anti gun crowd'. personally, I dislike guns, its a cowards weapon to me and cheapens the act of taking a life, I'll wait for you to pick your jaw off your desk from hearing an American say that.
But I don't see how it'll make a difference ether way, sure, maybe the murder rate won't go up, and maybe it'll even go down a little. but I have serious doubts as to how much that dip would be, after all, how many country's that have banned guns and still have major problems with murder rates?
anyway, until we fix 'the people' taking away weapons isn't going to do much in the long run, though I'm lacking for any ideas as to how to do that.
you make a fair point by saying people are assholes. (i mean look at you.... kidding obviously that was too easy) Controlling guns may not necessarily reduce murder rates, but damn it i think its worth a shot. (HA) A guns only purpose is to make living things dead, yes there are other tools that can accomplish the same goal but a hammer is not meant for that. (trust me its messy) why allow people to have such items whos only use is to make dead things. now im not saying that a total ban on guns is necessary because i know that there are people out there that shoot responsibly, but having strong control on who can have a gun would probably help. Back on topic you can probably guess i think printing guns is kinda silly.
Because there are some living people in this world who
need to be made dead, because with or without guns, they will make life miserble (Or cut it short) for far more people. Controlling who has guns only gives the guns to those who don't give a damn about the 'control'.
If attempts to bring down crime by regulating guns results in spikes in violent assaults, brazen robberies and burglaries (and muggings), increased incidents of rape, and an overall rise in violent crime (
As has been observed to happen in every instance of Gun Control in the U.S. - it's part of our culture), then
NO, it's
NOT "Worth a shot". Getting people injured, assaulted, robbed, or killed in pursuit of policies that have been proven failures time and time again is NOT the way to go.
However, as others have noted, this silliness is doomed because of the inability for 3D printer materials to stand up to the force of a gunshot.
