Breaking news.
Defense Distributed, the company who last week used a 3D printer to print the first completely printed gun, with the exception of the metal firing pin, and used the weapon to fire a .380 caliber round successfully has had their 3D gun plans taken over by the US government.
According to DEFCAD.org, the website where the company distributed their 3D printer plans has been taken over by the US government.
A large red banner across the top of the website reads: DEFCAD files are being removed from public access at the request of the US Department of Defense Trade Controls. Until further notice, the United States government claims control of the information.

BenW, invoking Mr. Universe? Brilliant!
And if this administration can leave their own people to die they can do anything.
