Cody Wilson printed out and fired the first 3-D gun. Now, the US Department of State is trying to plug the distribution of the blueprints, after the blueprints have been distributed world-wide.
"The State Department isn't too happy about Cody Wilson's 3-D printed gun. In a letter to Wilson dated May 8, the department asked the University of Texas law student to take down 10 designs -- including one for the first fully functional 3-D printed gun-- from his website DEFCAD.org for possibly violating arms export statutes."
