Cody Wilson, a University of Texas law student & founder of Defense Distributed, recently released blue prints for the first 3D-printable handgun.  Anyone with an internet connection and access to a 3D printer can make one.

A bit scary, right?  Well, the US State Department demanded that Cody take down the blueprints within one week of posting.

Whew, what a relief... Except, it's still extremely easy to get a real gun.

For all of the non-techies out there, Google I/O is the equivalent of the Superbowl Halftime show, except instead of Beyonce, it's Google Engineers showing off their moves.
