f**k no. Printing your own weapons is half the fun.

Of course. Unless there are no weapon restrictions.

Yeah, our current copyright laws are obsolete already. Wholly inadequate to handle whats next.

A guy apparently leased one to make weapons with and they are currently trying to figure out the legalities on this tech.

The issue is really more about how the distribution of diagrams and other copyrighted material etc should be regulated than the manufacture of weapons, which is perfectly legal. They are in virgin territory as far as that goes.

The problem here is you are failing to account for future technological progress which will surely decrease the per unit cost, and time to make, along with increasing the capabilities.

Yes it takes 5 hours to make Yoda right now. 2 Years from now it takes 2 hours. 3 years It's instant.

then what?
