So, that guy's plastic printed gun works without exploding or anything. This is one of those moments where technology has suddenly and completely altered society. The printers are costly ATM, but that will be changing, and soon. The individual is empowered, and the government made less relevant. This is the kind of triumphant techie story that one reads in Analog :)

Regulating who can buy a gun, regulating the size and shape of guns, regulating magazine size, etc, are now going to be exercises in futility. Perhaps instead we can concentrate on finding ways to deal with potentially violent people, as we ought to have been all along.

They found that Amanda Berry woman, and several others as well. That was huge news here when she disappeared - the other two I'd not heard of. Increasingly, Ohio seems to be the place where bizarre and disturbing news comes from.

Oddly enough, the Cuban flag that was on the house yesterday now seems to have been replaced by an American flag.
