Majority of Americans Would Ban 3D-Printing Guns at Home (Fat Chance!)

A new Reason-Rupe poll finds that an otherwise gun control-weary American public thinks owners of 3D printers ought not be allowed to make their own guns or gun parts.

Supporters of restrictions, such as Slate's Farhad Manjoo, have pointed to the technology that limits DVD players to DVDs from a specified region, or the technology that's supposed to prevent photocopiers, printers and graphics software from replicating U.S. currency, as examples to follow for 3D printers.

Or you just disable the region limitation of your DVD player. Or maybe buy a regionfree player at Walmart, located right next to the heavy artillery for self-defense.
