BBC News - V&A museum to display printed gun

Bad news for the anti-gun folks, guns will be be printed in the UK.

Initially, these will be copies - printed in London - as Mr Wilson has so far been unable to obtain an export licence for the originals.

Oh boy, bet there will be quite the huffing and puffing from the anti-gun Brits.

I thought that was a cool little gun. It will be the first one I print.

I saw this and was kind of amused. I can't wait to 3D print.

 

[sparkyfender]

Will the Brits be able to print ammo, too?

Yeah plastic guns that’s just stupid!!! My Glock is composite, that's different!!

Someone needs to create a printed glock frame...just saying

Still, printing your own gun is not yet allowed and it’s illegal. UK government should make certain rules about gun printing if ever they’re going to allow it. For everyone’s safety, it’s much better if people will use their 3D printer for printing more useful things like this Isohook shopping holder bag made by Creator: Anssi Blomqvist of Finland, Cool 3D print created by 3D2PRINT's customers.

What's the difference between 3D printing a gun for your own use and finishing an 80% AR-15 lower receiver for your own use??
