Americans can legally download 3-D printed guns starting next month | CNN

Gun-rights activists have reached a settlement with the government that will allow them to post 3-D printable gun plans online starting August 1.

"The settlement ends a multi-year legal battle that started when Cody Wilson, who describes himself as a post-left anarchist, posted plans for a 3-D printed handgun he called “The Liberator” in 2013.

The single-shot pistol was made almost entirely out of of ABS plastic – the same stuff they make Lego bricks out of – that could be made on a 3-D printer. The only metal parts were the firing pin and a piece of metal included to comply with the Undetectable Firearms Act."

DIY 3D printed guns. It was just a matter of time wasn’t it. Actually, I’m sure it’s been done a lot already.

Yeah, you can already make your own AR-15 with the right printer. It’s already been done by none other than Wired magazine.

It’s like I keep saying, ‘Gun control is obsolete’.
