Reflection #13

I know I've already met the requirement for reflections, but I came across this video on 3-D printers.

Printable Gun

It does not simply focus on the gun issue (being able to print a gun) but also in allowing people the creative freedom to print something that they have thought of, with ease.  The reporter mentions printing a button for a lost coat, but in the arts, the possibilities are endless.   3-D printers are becoming more affordable for the everyday household, also raising the risk for gun parts to be created and used.   They briefly discuss a need to look at regulations as these parts will not be detectable.
