Why 3D Printers are Important

The printers themselves are not limited on what they can print. Given enough time working with the design program and a person could design almost anything. A person could also design a gun. This has already been done by several people. Since the guns are printed and fused together they do not last long. Some people refer to these printed guns a "disposable gun" because after only a few shots (ten or less in some cases) the gun will be rendered useless. This is due to extreme forces from the ammunition and the non durable material construction of the gun. The guns cannot be repaired either. Some people see this as a cheep alternative to buying a gun. Since these guns are not manufactured by a company and the designs can be modified by any person with the file and a computer, the printed guns  cant be regulated by the government. Therefore they are not governed by the gun control laws and anyone can have them. This is just another way that shows how in effective gun control laws are.
