<p>
There are many great points in this debate both for and
against allowing the 3D models of weapons that can be printed
to be widely distributed, and whether or not it is legal to
sell the prints. You can easily argue that 3D printers are in
enough schools and libraries that their proximity to children
and other areas of education mean that turning a 3D printer
into a foundry for weapons is a very scary thought to most
people. On the other hand, you can argue that the government
barring people from sharing files is a massive infringement of
first amendment rights.
</p>
<p>
<img
src="../content/images/2018/08/3dp_guns_liberator-museum-gun.jpg"
alt="3dp_guns_liberator-museum-gun"
/>
</p>
<p>
The reason that I think the idea of 3D printing weapons has no
bearing in the current mayhem that is the second amendment
debate is that the technology isn't capable, and we are very
far away from it making sense. 3D Printers, especially the
models that potential criminals could get their hands on, are
far from suitable for this kind of 3D Printing.
</p>
<p>
There is no such thing as a 3D Printed object that can kill
someone straight off the print bed, or even if it requires
assembly it would still require a bullet. I have yet to see a
3D Print that has a mechanism to cause someone hard that
doesn't use a bullet. (Although I haven't really been
looking.) This is pretty much a deal breaker for anyone trying
to commit murder by filament. Let's just make our argument
even worse. Let's say that you went out and bought ammo, then
assembled your gun. Guns are marvels of engineering and
materials science. Even by today's standards making a gun that
can shoot more than a handful of times, and accurately is hard
even with proper materials. PLA, ABS, or Nylon does not come
anywhere close to the proper material for the job. 3D printed
weapons at best make a small projectile go in a general
direction.
<a href="https://youtu.be/7xjlqMw8FYE"
>At worst they blow up in the operators face.</a
>
As far as a printed AR-15 or a similar genuine weapon that
tends to make its rounds on media every now and then, those
weapons are far beyond the capability of any modern, or next
generation printer.
</p>
<p>
<img
src="../content/images/2018/08/3dPrintedGun.jpg"
alt="3dPrintedGun"
/>
</p>
<p>
It is also important to note that weapons explicitly designed
to be 3D printed tend to look like toys. This is important
because
<a href="https://www.ncjrs.gov/txtfiles/fireviol.txt"
>a large majority of gun crimes are robberies or other forms
of intimidation</a
>
which 3D printed weapons would not be effective at. While it
can be argued that the inexpensive nature, about $15 a print
from what I can tell, of 3D printing would greatly lower the
barrier of entry of getting a gun I disagree. Access to a 3D
printer is still very limited in the USA, and by the time
someone buys a new printer, learns to set it up, and prints a
weapon. They could have easily just bought a gun or stole one
which is the most common way criminals get weapons. Sure, in
countries like Australia where guns are mostly banned there is
a considerably greater incentive for a criminal to print a
weapon, but if they're already at that level of criminal I'd
argue they have access to weapons already.
</p>
<p>
That's just my take. At this time there have been zero crimes
committed with a 3D printed weapon that I am aware of, and
while I do think seeing the future is important and could save
time, lives, and money in the future. I do not believe this is
an issue we should be worrying about.
