Dear Whited,
Defense Distributed, a libertarian student partnership, is announcing a project they're calling the Wiki Weapon. This project's goal is to test and prove a design for a completely printable, one-use ABS plastic .22 handgun, and to take that design from CAD and port it to a .STL file that will then be freely shared across all major file-sharing platforms to the world. DefDist is anticipating a world where 3D printing becomes much more economical and ubiquitous, and the Wiki Weapon will be one step in providing political and personal leverage to the peoples of that world. The value of such a file's existence in the future cannot be overstated.
We ask that you please share the project or its video, located at http://PrintableGun.com and http://Indiegogo.com/wikiwep, with your readers and help spread the word that there are intellectual entrepreneurs dedicated to preserving Liberty in a time of almost unopposed statist planning.
Please find the attached press release for your convenience.

I'll admit, at first I was appalled, but then I got to thinking about it and realized it was better these nerds were carrying one-shot plastic things around rather than lugging magazine-equipped assault rifles.
By the way, I'd love to see a YouTube of someone actually firing one of these, especially the trip to the emergency room afterwards.
