"But while the sites have effectively eliminated major players like Deterrence Dispensed, they’ve had significantly more trouble policing individuals. A review of recent posts on Twitter, Reddit, and YouTube reveals that links to files containing 3D-printed gun plans are still readily accessible on each platform. Some Twitter users have continued to share direct links to firearm downloads since the site’s policy changes took effect, and many tweets predating the change remain accessible through the site’s search. YouTube instructionals on how to build 3D-printed guns still have millions of views, and several Reddit threads aggregate links to online destinations for 3D-printed gun files."
Right now 3D printed guns can be created but they are expensive and unreliable. However like with almost everything as technology and engineering efficiencies come on line it will soon be far more reasonable to create a 3D printed gun. Now this doesn't change the market a lot in America where guns are cheap and plentiful and even with improvements it will likely be far easier to still purchase guns through regular (or irregular) channels.
But...
What about other countries? What will 3D gun printing do to countries where guns aren't ready and plentiful and there are aggressive anti-gun laws? For example places like the UK, what will 3D printing do to the number of guns there?
