<p>Not quite as dangerous, since you can make a gun that will fire more than one bullet before exploding in a machine shop. Or out of parts from a hardware store; there was a controversial case several years ago where a UK man made a machine pistol out of hardware store parts and went to prison for several years because of strict UK laws against this, dying shortly afterwards. Can't remember the name.</p>

hackerspaces are now as dangerous as machine shops:) <br>

Eddan, isn't there a provision in the 1968 Gun Control Act allowing one
to make a firearm for personal use?<br>

Also seems like Cody Wilson, UT, Austin law student is almost literally
begging to be the subject of a US v. Wilson lawsuit.
Some questions for my 3-D Sudo friends:
Once they make the CAD files available, how many steps would it take for
someone to print their own gun? Would there be (semi-)uniquely
identifying
traces of which printer was used? Can ammunition be 3-D printed by the
same
printer? Would you be able to do this on one of those printers you'll be
able to buy at Staples this summer?
Hold on to your hats, folks ...
