Guns don’t kill people - 3D printers kill people
I was shocked and disappointed by the irresponsible statements by Otago University Law and Emerging Technologies academic Colin Gavaghan reported in New Zealand media:
“He said it would be incredibly difficult to stop blueprints being accessible online and police could instead investigate the possibility of regulating who owns 3D printing devices.” - RNZ (link here and below)
I expect much more forward thinking solutions from a research center with a vision “… to encourage the formulation of a framework for the systematic and comprehensive evaluation of emerging technologies, and to build New Zealand’s legal and policy capability in these developing areas.” - Centre for Law and Policy in Emerging Technologies
