Are people afraid that criminals will stop using their cheapo stolen guns and start buying 3D printers so they can manufacture their own weapons?

Sounds like the UK thugs are way ahead of the U.S. thugs in technical and computer expertise.
Perhaps this is part of the difference, in the UK they are waiting to get a good 3D print while the lazy US thug just 'borrows' a gun and gets to doing what he does best.
USA! USA!
Probably the wrong cheer, more like Chicago! Chicago!

That must be why we don't do that in the U.S.
I wonder why my state closed all polling stations (vote by mail only) and made it ILLEGAL to ask for ID when signing up to vote.
They allow registrations with a common address such as the county courthouse saying this is needed by the homeless.
Nice follow up was the change in law to require you to know a voters name/age/address if you wanted to challenge votes even in districts whit more votes than registered voters.

The X-15 was not relying on those stubby wings for lift during boost.
I seem to recall attitude adjustment jets being added to the wings to try to give some control during the higher attempts.
Those wings were useful during the steep glide/landing phase.
That beast was developed prior to the whole 'lifting body' thing.
Would have liked to see a DynaSoar http://www.thelivingmoon.com/4... actually fly.

Looks like fallout from the Congressional mandate for 'Number Portability' doesn't it.
  It used to be impossible to have a New York number on your phone in Hawaii, not any more.
It took a lot of work but we had to force those evil phone companies to separate logic from the system so the people could satisfy another whim.
