3D Printing and Gun Control

3D Printing:

This emerging technology brings more than just excitement and anticipation. The above video displays the ability to manufacture, with CIM (computer aided manufacturing), gun parts with 3D printing. He talks about making the designs open source, and what that could bring; if anyone with the right equipment could potentially become an arms manufacturer. Thuis opens a can of worms with this technology. How accesible is too accesible? There will surely be policies and regulations created to keep up to pace with new technologies (as there always has been) and to what extent they will control this market is the question that is on my lips. I wonder how the open source distribution of designs (for potentially anything) will affect society and how the population will react.
