Thousands of 3D printed gun designs are coming to the Internet in less than 2 weeks.  As soon as August 1st, it will be legal to distribute blueprints for computer-designed 3D gun models.  A recent Justice Department ruling settles a three-year-old lawsuit filed by 3D gun printing advocate Defense Distributed. The firm will now re-launch a site that hosts firearm blueprints.  Defense Distributed's founder built and fired the first 3D printed gun.
