Modern Technology, what else is it going to be blamed for?
Deary me, reports in various papers that the 'British' FBI, the National Crime Agency, are to clamp down on 3d printers.
The reason? Gangs of criminals are trying to reproduce guns.
OK I don't want extra guns on the street but hang on, let's look at the expense.
Cheapest decent printer capable of getting close to producing accurately, no doubt in the thousands, time taken to program the thing to make the gun...
...and so on.
From what I understand from the same hyperventilating press, in several of their other panic attacks, a gun including ammunition can be bought for far less than a third of these printers.
So surely while they are designing the gun let them get on with it, it keeps them off the streets and everyone needs a hobby, they still need to get ammunition and no doubt the dealer in guns isn't going to be undercut supplying ammo for replicas? He'll want his maximum profit.
