3-D Printed Guns

Here is a nifty piece about 3-D printed guns in the "Fashion & Style" section of The New York Times:

Fashion & Style? Hmmm ...

I don't possess any firearms, and I don't ever intend to.

I qualified as a sharpshooter in the Army on the M-16 and have fired other weapons. They have their place, but they no longer have a place in my life.

Technology, in spite of its promise, may turn out to be the downfall of humanity. The world is full of hatreds, many of which are being stoked into a roaring fire by the greed, callousness, and stupidity of rich people, and sooner or later someone will devise a simple technology which allows the people at the bottom to take their revenge upon the people at the top.

3-D printed guns may be such a technology.
