cant be long before you can DL a Glock .STL file .... oh wait!

Someone in the comments of SlashDot suggested that we might end up
outlawing 3D printers and someone else suggested outlawing the teaching
of geometry... but we all know from the rash of "script kiddies" that
you don't need to understand the tools you are wielding to be effective
en-masse!
And re the Glock .STL... whatever happened to old fashioned "soap
carving" and "boot black" ?
