I've been following this 3D-print gun thing for a while. I've actually got the lab boys downstairs printing me some firearm accessories, though nothing that you couldn't mill out of scrap HDPE with a few hand tools. My take is that there's a serious freedom of speech issue at hand; trying to restrict this information is about as unconstitutional as restricting the Anarchist Cookbook. Also, attempting to actually make use of either resource is a kind of intelligence test, and of this I very much approve.
