    Never mind Feinstein every company ceo, bankster, investor vampire squid and pension fund will run in fear from this.
    3d printing has far bigger implications than your puny attempts at gun laws, there is an entire social and economic order about to be turfed out.

    True, though only when 3D printers become more available.

    Right. The internet is the coolest thing in the history of the world to date. Home 3d printing is high on that list as well

    I just think of how short the logistics chain becomes and the huge number of jobs that go "bye bye". Cheap only matters if you have a job/money.

    There are massive social implications that will have real world economic implications, if you can print a BMW or a Mercedes how does a person advertise there high status.

    I am guessing certain mass market luxury brands will disappear as people display high status through bespoke design.

    Those with the control of raw materials, land and energy reserves will have what they want. The rest of us will be whoring to pay for some gunge for the replicator tank so we can get shoes for the kids. A bit like now really.
