to give time to both sides on the gun control debate.

I've seen 3D printed pieces before, cool stuff. But not this.

Will definitely be banned. Even with only 1 metal part, it's too simple. But that is also it's elegance.

You can make these 3D printers, rapid prototying machines (whatever you want to call them) at home for under a grand. There is a whole community out there that share plans and the software is open source. One of the more popular ones is called the RepRap Project.

Meh, you could make a plastic barrel that could fire a low pressure round like a .22 but it is NOT going to pass through an X-Ray machine that easily and any ammo is going to give it away.

Heck, people in prison make guns.
