On May 6th, an article written by Alex Hern on guardian.co.uk states that a gun made from a 3D printer has been fired. There is much speculation on whether or not the gun should be made illegal. due to the fact that the person who owns the program for creating this gun on a 3D print is selling it to people who can potentially be or become criminals is bad enough.
as stated on the article “The gun – called the “Liberator” and produced by Defense Distributed, a group that describes itself as aiming to “defend the civil liberty of popular access to arms” through “information and knowledge related to the 3D printing of arms” – is the second to have made the headlines in the past year.”
With the recent bombing at Boston, shooting at Sandy Hook, politicians are considering making 3D printing of guns illegal. The possibility of printing all types of guns for free and without a gun license can lead to an increase of gun-related crimes.
