"All the world over, so easy to see. People everywhere just wanna be free."
When a local resident near Tokyo, Japan was suspected of the possession and use of firearms that were created using a commercial 3-d printer, local officials immediately investigated the situation. The initial investigation began when Yo####omo Imura; an employee of the Shonan Institute of Technology in Fujisawa, Japan was reported posting photos and tweeting online about the plastic guns he had just manufactured.
The videos and photos posted simply show Yo####omo firing and testing his newly created firearms, as well as the blueprints that were used.
Yo####omo seemed quite compliant, admitting to the police that he used the 3-D printer at his home in Fujisawa to make the firearms and stated, “I made them myself, but I didn’t know they were illegal.” Then further stated, “I can’t complain about the arrest if the police regard them as real guns.”
While no one really knows where the man downloaded the files from, there is speculation that the files were downloaded from a server in America. There’s also the assumption that the designs used for the 3-D printed firearms could be influenced from Cody Wilson’s blueprints that were downloaded last year after he demonstrated the world’s first functioning 3D-printed gun dubbed “The Liberator.”
Tokyo Police overran the home of the 27 year old college employee and confiscated a total of five 3-D printed firearms. This is the first time in Japan’s history in which the countries’ Firearm Control Law has been put into action in order to arrest and detain a man for the use and assembly of 3-D printed weapons.

I'm sure NOBODY else in Japan, or New York, or California, has or will print any more firearms at home. :rolleyes
