It's all over the news. That and the broken cruise ship finally being towed back into port.
Apparently he shot his girlfriend 5 times with a 9MM. That's about all I know. I'm not sure the defense has a leg to stand on.

“The technology is proceeding so rapidly that when I talk about three-dimensional guns, people think I’m talking about a ‘Star Trek’ plot,” - Steve Israel (D-NY)
I guess all those two dimensional guns are a problem voters can understand.

So it would blow peoples minds to tell them that the pressure from a round attempted to be fired in a plastic gun would just destroy the gun and probably kill the shooter?
Awesome for movie props though.
Wilson’s group has posted several videos to YouTube of AR-15s firing rounds with 3-D printed high-capacity magazines and lower receivers, the part that includes the firing mechanism and is the only regulated portion of the gun if it’s bought over the counter. Wilson’s parts are made from high-grade polymer and retrofitted to the bodies of existing weapons. The receivers are made able to fire by adding over-the-counter springs, pins and a trigger.
In one recent video, Wilson fires dozens of rounds from an M-16 using a 3-D printed high-capacity magazine

It's true they are not "printing" the whole weapon, but they are not that far off. The other group mentioned in the article had a fully printed weapon that broke after the first use.

aren't these already illegal under the 1935 firearms act listed as any other weapons? That said, that's pretty amazing if they are able to do that.
