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.
No, before 3D printing it was always possible to make a gun in a machine shop. I guess hackerspaces are now as dangerous as machine shops:)
Eddan, isn't there a provision in the 1968 Gun Control Act allowing one to make a firearm for personal use?

In the video you can see atleast 10 -15 parts #2 probably no traces of which 3d printer was used #3 No. and I would be willing to bet you can only get 1 -2 shoots off before you have to make a new one #4 Maybe with enough time and the right plasic, but you probably need someone way more expensive.

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?
