3D Printing Community Updates Liberator with Rifle, Pepperbox and Glock-Powered ‘Shuty-9′

[Philip Lelyveld comment: more 3D printer gun designs.]

It’s both a thought experiment and a type of protest: governments can’t control the manufacture of arms, there’s no way to monopolize them.

By turning to 3D printing, Defense Distributed, led by Cody Wilson, the Liberator shows that the ability for the general public to manufacture arms and to share their blueprints is unstoppable.

Of course, the project has been criticized as giving prohibited persons the ability to manufacture arms as well as providing people of countries that forbid gun ownership, in part or in whole, a way to make guns.
