I just wish they would highlight the benefits of the technology instead of the negatives.

Negatives=Regulation

Then again, If I can print Magazines (smaller ones, SD2 sad ) that's a plus for me, considering the rampant price gouging happening now.

Re: 3D printing on the Today Show

I'm sorry but If someone wanted a firearm (whether legal or illegal to own I will not comment) to use to kill someone they could aquire it on the streets of any major city much cheaper and more rapidly than buying, setting up and using a 3 D Printer. So I am really tired of the scare them, it bleeds it leads journalism,as stated before show the upside. Maybe that is what has majorly changed in this country, we are bad, everything we do is evil, all is dark and forboding (or so they say). When something is available to help people create, make a profit ( I know another dirty word to some people) so you can live, and try to do some good in the world don't pull out the scare tactics. Okay I'm done with my kneejerk rant. But I will say God Please Bless America.

I don't think you are quite up to speed on all of this, you might want to Google 3D printed gun to understand what the fuss is all about.

I understand and agree with the concern, but if that is all people are going to focus on, then you'd better take away reloading supplies, steel pipes & lead balls, because you can make a weapon out of that too! Better yet, take away the right to have charcoal, sulfur (other things not necessary to make my point) and tissue paper, rocks & any thick walled tube! While here, make sure to take my steak knives! Better get my rubber bands & paper clips, don't want us able to weaponize office supplies either....

I agree with them over sensationalizing the negatives, and they assume that everyone will fall in to temptation and print a gun, but in all reality, most of us just want to use our printers for utilities, replacement parts & fun stuff. It's like digital modelling clay.

No trees were harmed in the creation of this email, though some electrons were horribly inconvenienced.

reason why they think everything we do is evil is because they cant control it they dont know what we are doing and dont understand it
