Had to laugh at this story about UT law student Cody Wilson who recently tested his new high-capacity 3D plastic magazine for semi-auto AR-15s, which he has named for New York Gov. Cuomo. The guv is backing laws to restrict rifle magazines to seven rounds. As if that would do anything except impede self-defense. Cuomo just wants to be a big in the ongoing Democrat gun-control baloney.
Cody’s testing, on an unnamed range near Austin, reportedly found the “Cuomo” as workable as any conventional metal-and-spring rifle magazine and apparently will soon start marketing a 3D printing template for it here. In the meantime, Wired Magazine is calling him one of the world’s 15 most dangerous people, according to Wikipedia. Gosh, only 15? I guess only 15 met the publication’s Leftist criteria. Anyhow, way to go Cody! Always good to see the neighborhood in the snooze. The Scribbler and the NRA love you!
The only drawback I see here is that Cody & Co. will hasten the feds’ legal assault on 3D printing, which could be a game-changer. But it was inevitable anyhow. There really hasn’t been a whole lot of innovation in the last few decades. No big game changers since invention of the Web. Principally because the feds and other pols are always trying to regulate anything new. (Such as the Web.) 3D printing was bound to get the federal (or state) schnitz sooner or later.

The day when one will be able to download and 3-D print himself a steak is nigh!
Not if the FDA has anything to say about it, and they will soon enough.
