A group of libertarian “crypto-anarchists” in Austin, Texas has produced the world’s first 3D-printed gun. Hailed by some as the future of manufacturing, 3D printing works by building up multiple layers of a material, typically plastic, to create a solid object. The gun produced by Defense Distributed, run by 25-year-old law student Cody Wilson, was made on a printer bought for $8,000 on eBay. After a successful test firing of the Liberator, which is “printed” in plastic but has a metal firing pin, Wilson posted the blueprint online. (The Week).
In the bogus name of “freedom” all types of repulsive material is posted on the Internet, to the advantage of criminals, sociopaths and the clinically insane. The public seems content to have young teenagers look at porn and Moslem extremists to get tips on bomb making at the click of a mouse. Now we have an avowed anarchist, clearly advocating violence, making life just that little bit more unsafe and disagreeable.
Have we neither common sense nor decency left? Epicurus, campaigner against violence and the anxiety that attends it, would be speechless.
Time to zap all anti-social websites advocating violence? People natter on about their rights. Let’s talk about responsibilities.
