Given that people have already been able to create plastic guns with 3D printers, the advent of metal 3D printers will surely make it easier for people to fabricate guns and knives at home. But is that a good enough reason to stifle the development of metal 3D printing?

Reason to STIFLE it? Sounds more like a reason to urge widespread deployment of the tech so it will be tyrant proof. Don't forget that in most cases and in most states, making your own weapons including firearms is perfectly legal, so why would a new tech that does the same thing be an issue?

Sure, libs are fine with that being legal, as long as you need to set up your own metal shop or machine shop to do it. Just like abortion, they want home firearms production to be “safe, legal, and rare”.

As I keep pointing out, this represents the practical creation of the Weapon Shops of Isher.
