The First Fully 3D-Printed Gun Has Been Successfully Test-Fired

On Friday, we mentioned that Defense Distributed had created a (near-enough-to) fully 3-D printed pistol. Sparrowvsrevolution now writes that "Last week, the Liberator was fired for the first time at a firing range and successfully shot a .380 caliber bullet using a remote firing setup. Over the weekend, Defense Distributed's founder, the anarchist and radical libertarian Cody Wilson, was bold enough to try firing it by hand. The results of that test, witnessed by a reporter, indicate that the era of the 3D-printed firearm may be upon us, for better or for worse." Predictably, certain politicians are — so to speak — up in arms about it.

The funny part is, the troll are going to run wild today over the site, because all the mod points are going to be used on this particular article to bounce posts up or down, till they are entirely depleted.
Good luck with that, let me know how it all turns out for you.

It could be nicer

I would rather get killed by something i had a chance of defending myself against than something killing me instantly. So, yes, it is comforting knowing that punks in dark alleys are not carrying guns.
