3D Printers Allow Consumer to Print Out ANY 3D Object; For Example, Assault Rifles.

The 3D Printer

By John Amaruso


When I first heard that there was a new product on the market called a "3d printer", I was bit confused. A 3d printer? What the hell is that? What could that even mean?

Manufacturers have designed a printing device that can literally 'print out' 3d objects. Yes, that's right- anyone can literally create; I mean, print, any object one could desire. This new product has the capacity to create some of the simplest of things, like let's say household tools, I.E. a wrench, to household items like dinner plates. It also has the capacity to build the most complicated of objects; like an acoustic guitar, or a bicycle.

Unreal? I know. Science fiction has some catching up to do.

But while this device has the ability to do amazing things like turning the average joe into an in house manufacturer of their own products, this device, like most new technologies, has been manipulated for more insidious purposes.

The device can also be used to manufacture weapons- yes, weapons.

Actual gun printed out by 3D printer

It's been reported that owners of the 3d printer have successfully "printed out" a real and functioning assault rifle.

The weapon when fired has the same deadly force as a weapon that is manufactured by an arms company.

The scariest part of this whole thing- the parts of the weapon (the core that essentially makes the gun 'fire') is the part that needs to be regulated by the government to ensure no illegal sales are made by/to underground markets.

That whole problem was solved with the advent of printing your own untraceable and fully functional assault rifle.

I will leave you with this-
Technology has officially outpaced human rationale.
