TECHNOLOGY
GONE TOO FAR?
A group advocating for DIY weapons has
added a new element of controversy to the
gun debate: It created the world’s first 3D
printed gun, which fired its first shot on
Sunday. “I recognise the tool might be used to
harm other people — that’s what the tool is —
it’s a gun. But I don’t think that’s a reason to
not do it — or a reason not to put it out there,” Cody Wilson, the head of Defense Distributed,
the company behind the gun, told the BBC. 3D printing is likely to become more common,
with Staples expecting to offer the technology in stores next month.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie revealed
this week that he secretly underwent
gastric band surgery in February.
Christie, who plans to run for a second
term and whose name has been floated
as a possible presidential candidate,
said he underwent the surgery for his
family, not in preparation for a 2016
White House run. “For me, this is about
turning 50 and looking at my chil dren
and wanting to be there for them,” he
told the New York Post.
