[QUOTE=Biscuit-Boy;40043805]Lol no. You can (or at least I can, in my opnion) [b][i]clearly[/i][/b] tell they're editorializing this story by the choice of music, and overall tone. It's grim.
Like, there's no way they're saying "Aw yeah look at this shit bro suhweeeet dude!" because they'd be playing some upbeat vintage rock music like in Pawn Stars or something. But instead it's some morbid, ominous stuff.

I think it's fitting music though, it's said multiple times in the video that the guy is trying (and succeeding) to prove a point. I don't think that Vice is trying to demonize the guy, but rather the point they're making. It's eloquently put at the end with "It'd be ideal if we could go back to the 1990s and everything would be perfect, but we can't. Now there's the internet"
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;40045295]you can't really call them unbiased when they start right off the bat with sandy hook and the type of music they were playing. It's not like they haven't done this in the past, go look at their video about guns in Florida. When they went to make a private sale, they made it in the most scary location possible. Late at night, middle of a vacant parking lot. They tried to make it seem like the dood buying the gun was actually at risk. Was so silly.[/QUOTE]
I never really thought Vice was about being unbiased

I haven't either, I just think it'd be nice if we could see an informative video on the subject without it having a bias in one direction or the other
That Cody seems like an interesting individual, would like to see an extended interview.
If they used a CO2 laser printer they could print in aluminum and stainless, makes the ordeal much more expensive but you would be able to print with a much wider range of materials (called sls printing).
Here is a (albeit failed) DIY SLS printer:

i remeber watching the maker video podcast when bre pettis came out with the makerbot prototype, he called the boottrip bot or something.
Bre's idea was to make a machine that could print its own parts and then make itself, terminator style.
alternate note, my mom met Bre and they did a segment together on Make: TV, where they made silhouette puppets together.
I have a much better use for printing guns:
Movie props.
Just some simple disposable prop-guns.

Not really. Making ammo "disappear" is tenfolds easier compared with weapons.
