But people with legally-owned guns are harming people. Guns are weapons. They are for harming people. While they can be used for target shooting that is not what they are for, that is not their designed purpose (in the vast majority of cases).
That's like saying: I should be allowed to walk around strapped with C4. So long as I don't flick the switch then I'm not harming anyone so why not?
Do you think there should be no laws at all? or just the ones you like?
(tangent: You're pro gay marriage then?)
I may be well off with this view (and in years to come you're welcome to rub it in my face) but I think mass-produced products will still be of a better quality and much cheaper no matter how good 3D printing gets.
I certainly wouldn't consider driving a 3D printed car.
I do love the idea of 3D printing. I think it will be great for DIY, projects, building small stuff. But not for anything with many many parts, especially something that needs to be incredibly safe.
I agree. 3D printing in its current form (i..e polymers done layer by layer mainly) is pretty shit. It'll have some limited specific uses but broadly speaking it won't change much.
I'd get very excited about proper nano-printing. And the stuff Ben was talking about was very interesting (using bacteria to fabricate stuff on mars and that).
Why are guns only for killing people? I own lots of guns and have never killed anyone. We use guns for hunting here. The only way you'd get killed by me is if you dressed up as a deer. I do have pistols that /could/ be used for hunting but I use mine to make my dick larger.
There should only be laws against things that harm other people.
You don't need to carry a gun then. Unless you think you're going bump into an angry deer on your trip to the shops?
I am not, and yet somehow I've managed not to go on a shooting rampage against gay people! I know, pretty crazy but somehow I do it!
My view is that it's not right, BUT if they want to do it and it doesn't harm me then go for it. What do I care? My complaint is against them getting the same benefits as a traditional marriage.
