There is a public safety issue with being able to print usable weapons; what will you do when your kids get into an argument, print a weapon, and one kills his brother or sister? or his friends?

If we can't beat Windows, the questions must be put: Do we even want to? Is it not possible to figure out our own game? If we want to beat them, then we should come up with better questions centring around where we want to start; what specifically do we want? If we want to beat them, where do we want to beat them?
