Lots of static recently on these here Intertunnels about printing a gun with a 3D printer. Whoopty. Of course a cursory search of any encyclopedia from half a century ago under “zip guns” will clue you in on the fact that just about anybody can make something that fires a bullet, and do it with nothing more than the contents of a kitchen junk drawer.

This guy is the model of the thoroughly Modern Man, not some version of Morris Moss standing in line at a Staples trying to buy a boatload of 3D printer ink. He started out small, just making a laptop killer after a cursory trip down two aisles in a Home Depot, but I imagine he’ll be making a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range out of a garage door opener and a toaster pretty soon.But for now, Just what you see, pal.
