'Liberator' And 3D Printed Guns Are Unconstitutional, Gun Regulation Is Not

One of the biggest stories this week has been the Liberator, the first fully functional gun-created 3D printer. After proving that the plastic gun can fire a live round, the Liberator’s creator, Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed, uploaded the blueprints to the gun so anyone could download them for free and use a 3D printer to create their own.The State Department has since ordered Defense Distributed to remove the download, but not before it was downloaded hundreds of thousands of times and shared to uncountable sharing web sites like The Pirate Bay.
