Sorry, I guess we are actually getting into politics. But it is just files,
and the rights to own and share files.

There are 3D metal printers. But for really good ones you are probably
taking 6 figures.
But a manual lathe and mill can be purchased for $1K and you can buy metal...
I don’t think they are going to be able to draw a line, but let’s assume for
a moment Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters are queens of the world. What would
they say I wonder... We can only rent sporks from the restaurant while dining.

Yeah... most people seem to have a very unrealistic idea of what a 3D printer
actually does. I'm pretty sure I can't go buy a cheap 3D printer, download
that file, and have it spit out a functional gun 10 minutes later.
If I post instructions on the internet for building a gun out of an old
bicycle, using a file and a hacksaw, would that be illegal? it's really no
different...

It seems like people think anyone can go buy a $90 entry level 3D
printer and crank out a fully functional weapon instantly. Well,
something for stabbing could be done in one print. I have to assume that
everyone who is freaking out has never seen a real 3D printer.
