Can anyone explain to me what printed 3D guns are.

ATF grants 'crypto-anarchist' license for 3-D printing of guns - Technology on NBCNews.com

Just look up 3D printing technology. Think about a ink-jet printer that prints out something 3D with ABS plastic. So, with such a thing you could "print" out a gun. The technology is in its infancy, and although there was a guy who got a 3D printed AR receiver to fire a couple of rounds before it all fell apart; it's really not viable for the firearms industry at this time. But the technology will grow; who knows. In 15 years we may be sitting around listening to everyone bitch about the quality of 3D printed parts, longing for the days of MIM.

No doubt.

Uh oh...this plus artificial intelligence-better stock up on HEAP (High Explosive Armor Piercing) ammo; HP only bounces off Terminators...

Times are a changing, and there will come a point in the not too distant future that the ONLY way to control guns is through ammo. We need to be very diligent about ammo bans. Fortunately, I think we have a good deal of protection for ammo bans under the Heller decision, but I’d like to see something specifically defined in SCOTUS case law for ammo.

Years ago, I remember seeing 'primer control' mentioned.
