Printer 3-D Copier Can Make Working Rifle




[From article]
It takes $452 and just 24 hours to build a semi-automatic rifle that falls outside of law enforcement’s radar — thanks to modern technology.
Gilman Louie, a San Francisco venture capitalist who used to run the CIA’s venture arm In-Q-Tel, said he used a 3D printer to make part of an AR-15 that would normally come with a serial number.
Louie got around the restrictions with the help of his Makerbot printer.
Such printers let people make three-dimensional objects from designs created with software.
