The U.S. role in the gun culture
By Devan Malore
A friend shared a story of new 3-D printers able to “print” components for a make-your-own gun. This sci-fi reality confirms not only attachment and fascination with guns but how technology shows no sign of slowing down. Capitalism based on increasing demand for anything generating profit is alive.

As far as I know, those 3D printers do not fabricate parts out of metal, but rather plastic. You might be able to make an object that looks like a gun but I doubt it would work like one.
