Guns for everyone

Cody Wilson wants to democratize guns by basically enabling anyone to create his own gun using 3D printing.

I agree with Cody that individuals will create their own guns  eventually and yes, people do have the right to own guns, especially in America. But...he forgets that only those that are responsible and are able to handle guns should own guns. Not the people with mental problems or that are potentially dangerous.we need to consider the cost of guns.

The guns in the US has caused havoc in Mexico, as the criminals bought guns from bordering states and used them for criminal activities. Furthermore, it is far more easier to cause massive damage with guns then other types of weapons. Plus, guns make suicides much more effective, which I believe is completely sad and loss of a productive member in society. Hence, given such costs, I think we should try our best to regulate guns.

Here are two suggestions that have been offered but vehemently attacked by the NRA.

1. Stricter and more frequent background check. This prevents not so stable people from getting guns and doing harm to themselves or others.

2. Register individual-to-individual gun sales. This increases tracking, which decreases the likelihood that guns end up with criminals.

These two solutions will not be so effective, when criminals start producing their own guns in masses using 3D printing but I think it is a start.
