3D Printed Guns; Cleveland Hosts USA Triathlon National Championships

In this country, the law protects your right to buy a gun, own a gun and carry a gun. But, in the age of 3D printers, what about making a gun? And what about sharing blueprints on gun-making with others? Last week, 8 states sued the government to block a Texas company from uploading blueprints to the Web. The owner says that infringes his 1st and 2nd amendment rights. We'll discuss on The Sound of Ideas. Then, we'll preview the USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships as it comes to Cleveland this weekend.
