World’s First Entirely 3D-Printed Gun Test Fired [Video]

Last Friday, we brought you news of the Liberator, the world's first firearm created using nearly entirely 3D-printed parts. This weekend brought the update that the one-shot Liberator -- a pistol made entirely of ABS plastic with the exception of a nail you can find at any hardware store as the firing pin -- has been successfully test fired by its lead designer, Cody Wilson. And courtesy of Forbes' Andy Greenberg, here's the video to prove it.

Yes, Video Games Affect People, But That Doesn’t Give Guns a Free Pass

In an effort to not be constantly branded as That Guy when the violence in video games conversation crops up, I'd initially just rolled my eyes at the comments from U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) yesterday morning in regards to video games and guns. We've had this discussion over and over, and it's one worth having if we're actually going to talk about the issues at hand, but Alexander instead opted to make a laughably meaningless statement about the nature of video games and how they're a bigger problem than guns. Sigh. Okay, I guess we're doing this, then.

Homes Hit With Bullets During AK-47 Target Practice

Two houses in Montville, Ohio came under gunfire on Wednesday, but the bullets didn't come from gang members, terrorists, or insurgents -- it came from two guys drinking beer and firing an AK-47 and several handguns at a target, though clearly not very well. Luckily, no one was hurt, and the two men were arrested before any serious damage could be done.

Teen Accidentally Shoots Brother in Head While Posing for New Year’s Eve Facebook Photo

When you've been out on the town drinking the night away, and someone produces a very real handgun after you've returned home, the next step is absolutely not to begin striking poses with it for Facebook photos. In fact, this is pretty much the exact opposite of what you should do. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop people from doing so. Manuel Ortiz, 22, and his sister Savannah Ramirez, 19, of Phoenix, Arizona returned home from spending New Year's Eve out drinking, and one of the other two people with them happened to have a gun. While posing with it for a Facebook photo, Ramirez accidentally shot her brother in the head, killing him instantly.

Electronic Arts Drops Links to Gun Retailers on Medal of Honor Site

When it was announced that Electronic Arts would be partnering with gun companies for the latest outing of their Medal of Honor franchise, the vast majority of those following along let out a collective sigh. "Great," people said to each other, "Another reason to blame video games for gun violence." EA has finally agreed in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre and pulled the links to gun retailers from the Medal of Honor: Warfighter site. All it took was a national tragedy for them to realize their mistake.

Washington Man Threatens To Shoot Up Schools If Gun Rights Are Restricted, Gets Arrested

In stunningly clear object lesson on "Things Not To Do, EVER," World's Least Classy Total Idiot candidate Korry Martinson has turned himself into police who had been searching for him all weekend. Just hours after Friday's horrific shooting in Connecticut, Martinson, 19, allegedly put up a Facebook post thanking the shooter for his actions and threatening to "go shoot up every school in a 100 mile radius" if he felt that the tragedy affected his rights as a gun owner. Now, KOMO News is reporting that Martinson, who was at best drastically overestimating the popular sense of humor level over Friday's shooting, has been arrested on charges of felony harassment for the threat. You can see a screenshot of the alleged post below, but if you're among the many folks who are still kind of reeling from this one, be advised: it makes for exceedingly unpleasant reading.
