Re: Where is the NRA?

"Someday it'll be cheaper to make a gun (and a lot of other stuff) from CAD files than to buy a mass manufactured product."

I don't see that happening within the next hundred years, if ever. It's VERY hard to reduce the cost of producing onesies to be comparable to the cost reduction that mass production gets you.

The value of 3D printers is not related to the cost of production. The value is the ability to easily create unique or customized items.
