Man for $1300 ya can have one of these printers , I am sure the Government will make a big deal out of this ( well they all ready have ) but I think it is pretty cool ya can even do it and I have to agree with the guy in the first video ya can buy such superior weapons so I don't see it becoming a epidemic but who knows

A Canadian rifle maker has successfully fired a 3D-printed rifle, based on firearms designer Cody Wilson's work on a homemade handgun crafted from thermoplastics. Mashable.com (http://mashable.com/2013/08/06/update-3d-printed-rifle/) reports that "Matthew" has successfully fired 14 rounds from a .22 rifle created from a 3D printer.
The rifle represents Matthew's second prototype and is called Grizzly 2.0. The barrel of the first prototype cracked after firing just one round, so he adjusted the barrel's thickness and fired 14 rounds from the next model before experiencing any problems.
The Grizzly 2.0 is a single shot rifle. The user reloads it after each shot by taking off the barrel, clearing it of the spent shell casing, and loading another round.
The Grizzly 2.0's creator has uploaded video of a purportedly successful firing test.
