Student leads project to print 3D guns

(KVUE) — While many call for tighter firearm restrictions, a University of Texas law student believes technology is about to make such regulation irrelevant.

Cody Wilson, 24, is the project leader of Wiki Weapons, a group that’s working to create a gun you can download from the Internet and output on a 3D printer.

A New York congressman says the prospect of such guns becoming reality is reason enough for the renewal of the Undetectable Firearms Act, which makes it illegal to build guns that can’t be detected by X-ray or metallic scanners.
