angry tapir writes: Possessing files that can be used to 3D print firearms will soon be illegal in the Australian state of New South Wales after new legislation, passed last week by state parliament, comes into effect. Possessing files for 3D printing guns will be punishable by up to 14 years in prison. The provisions "are targeted at criminals who think they can steal or modify firearms or manufacture firearms from 3D blueprints," NSW's justice minister, Troy Grant, said when introducing the bill in the state's lower house on 27 October. "Those who think they can skirt the law will find themselves facing some of the toughest penalties for firearms offences in this country," Grant said.

Who cares ? It's only little powerless American gun tards that get teeny little hard-ons obsessing over guns and shit.
The rest of the First World moves on, enjoying their miniscule firearm violence rates while the US drowns in an orgy of violence.
Hey... 16 shot in a park in the USA today, film at 11.
