3D printing may well be the next
technological revolution, changing our life as much as computers,
mobile phones and the internet have. But the world may not be
prepared when some of the consequences, such as printable weapons,
arrive.

Here is the reality check regarding “Gun Control” that is missing in all discussions that is going on today including the politicians, the US government, the clueless Americans who are in favor of “Gun Control”, and also the clueless mainstream media in the old USA that is wasting a lot time on this subject.
All this people are living in a world that is long gone, and they are not even aware of what is happening in the world of the 21st century, and the technological advances in 3D printing that makes the subject of “Gun Control” an obsolete discussion and worthless discussion – and a real waste of time.
The explosion in 3D printing technology already makes it possible for people to print a gun, and other weapons with their new 3D printing technology. It is here, and this new technology it will become more refined at the speed of light, because there's a lot of demand for that sort of thing.
Governments will not be able to control the advances of this new technology even if they take their best shot. The cat is out of the bag, and 3D printing is bringing a new revolution in manufacturing into the privacy of your home.
As we have this explosion in the sales of 3D printers as the prices come down, and the new technology becomes mind boggling with major advances in the materials that it will be available to be used on these 3D printers to create anything you want – the result is that these 3D printers will become at the speed of light just another gadget that people will attach to their home computer.
In a nutshell:
You will be able to 3D print many weapons that you want right on your home with no background checking, gun license, and all the bureaucracy that goes along with gun ownership today. If anything in the coming years it will become easier for anybody to get a gun and other sophisticated weapons.
By the way, I am against "Gun Control".

Amazing 3D Printer – September 9, 2011
3D printing is a form of additive
manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created
by laying down successive layers of material. 3D printers are
generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other
additive manufacturing technologies. 3D printers offer product
developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several
materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a
single build process. Advanced 3D printing technologies yield models
that can serve as product prototypes.
There has been large growth in the sale of 3D printers. Additionally, the cost of 3D printers has declined. The technology also finds use in the jewelry, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industries, education, GIS, civil engineers, etc.

3D Printed iPhone Case with Moving Gears! - October 2, 2012
These personalized iPhone cases,
designed by Danny Tasmakis (http://grabcad.com/danny.tasmakis)
were 3D printed on an Objet Connex multi-material 3D printer and
feature moving inter-locking gear wheels! This is the only 3D printer
of its kind in the world able to create complex assemblies made of
moving parts - each of which is printed in a different material. In
this video you see a small selection from among Objet's total range
of 107 materials, including transparent, black, transparent with
patterned dots and grid lines, white and various composite grey/blue
shades.

3D printing - a new industrial revolution – October 30, 2012
Engineers and designers have been using
3D printing to create prototypes for many years, but falling
technology costs are making it increasing accessible to other
people.
3D objects are created by sending a digital file or scan to a printer which then builds the item layer by layer - a process know as "additive manufacturing".
The range of objects the technology can manufacture is rapidly expanding - in the medical sector it is being used for dental work, while the fashion industry is experimenting with it to produce clothing.

James Corbett appears on the Next News
Network to discuss how 3D printing may be able to circumvent whatever
gun control legislation the government attempts to enact. Also
discussed are the topics of online censorship, DARPA's autonomous
robot army, and the possibility of a false flag event involving
hacked drones.

Here is what I posted on my Facebook page on June 14, 2012 in response to one item that was posted regarding gun control by one of my friends on Facebook:
Greg, you can't count on the police to
protect you and your family when the shit hits the fan. Do you
remember what happened in Los Angeles regarding the Rodney King
affair many years ago?
Los Angeles overnight was turned into a civil war, and the only source of protection for a lot of people were their guns.
Los Angeles overnight was turned into a civil war, and the only source of protection for a lot of people were their guns.
Here is the book that I mentioned that gives the story of warfare since the middle ages.
Regarding
“The Sovereign Individual “ by
James
Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg,
one
of the strongest points about the work of Davidson and Rees-Mogg is
that they are able to present historical patterns and explain their
relevance to the dynamics of change in the world of today and the
near future. They deal with mega-politics or more specifically, with
"the returns to violence" to analyze the rise and fall of
institutions.
The
authors point out that the development of the armored knight on
horseback in the 10th century overwhelmed the ability of the
impoverished farmers to defend their villages. The early knights
looted and murdered with impunity (one chapter subhead calls them
"Hell's Angels on Horseback") – a malevolent equivalent
of modern motorcycle gangs.
According
to the "returns to violence" theory, Davidson and Rees-Mogg
consider the inventions of gunpowder weapons and the printing press
to be the two key elements in the destruction of the structures of
the Middle Ages. The rising merchant class allied with monarchs and
provided them with the wealth to recruit large armies and build the
firearms and cannons that blew down armored knights and castle walls.
The power shift enabled kings to expand their control over large
territories. The proportionate expansion of the scale of the economy
increased the wealth of the merchants, a trend which was accelerated
by the discovery of the New World and the technological improvements
in ships and navigation which enabled the massive expansion of world
trade. This set the stage for the rise of industrial production,
which multiplied wealth and enhanced the ability of national
governments to amass power both against other nations and internal
dissidents.
Today,
the nation-state has run the same course as the medieval Church,
becoming corrupt, bloated and a drag on society. New weapons
technologies are reducing the returns on violence. An inexpensive
Stinger missile can bring down a multi-million dollar jet aircraft.
The sprawling centralized systems of government and other
industrial-age entities are increasingly vulnerable to terrorist
attack using compact explosives, or even chemical, biological or
mini-nuclear weapons. Very small groups or even individuals can wreak
havoc if they wish. The sledgehammer approach of large industrial-age
military forces is becoming obsolete. The authors also point out that
pure information warfare within computer systems using "logic
bombs" will be a part of future conflict, and they point out
that Bill Gates and Microsoft Corporation, if they needed to, have
far more computing resources for such action than most governments.

The Gun in America 1998
I remember the article saying that
there were more guns in New York City than the number of people.
It is estimated that there were more than 3 million illegal guns in New York City.

Reuters – August 28, 2007
(Reuters) - The United States has 90 guns for every 100 citizens, making it the most heavily armed society in the world, a report released on Tuesday said.
U.S. citizens own 270 million of the world's 875 million known firearms, according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by the Geneva-based Graduate Institute of International Studies.
About 4.5 million of the 8 million new guns manufactured worldwide each year are purchased in the United States, it said.

In a nutshell:
Since 9/11 the United States has become a police state, one step at the time, and “Gun Control” is the final step to the end freedom in the old USA.
I am glad that U.S. citizens own 270 million firearms, since we have idiots running this country for a long time.
