Tracking Point Rifle System
It seems that this has the potential to be more dangerous than single shot plastic guns. With this system it looks like someone with no shooting experience could pick up this rifle and be extremely deadly. That said, in a free society plastic guns and point-and-shoot rifles should not be a concern to anyone. The pros outweigh the cons.
What Is An Assault Weapon?
Guns and Ammo asked that question to a bunch of people at the NRA meeting and these are their responses:

From SFGate.com:
…the court said that the Second Amendment does not confer a right to carry weapons beyond the home, and therefore the law was within the Legislature’s authority.
What!? The Second Amendment doesn’t allow a person to carry a firearm beyond the home? What world are those justices living in? At 18 a person can join the military and vote for the leader of the free world, both of which impart far more responsibility on that person than carrying a firearm. This is another example, out of hundreds, of our inconsistent laws.

Plastic Gun “Cat” Is Out Of The Bag
The State Department has stopped Defense Distributed from hosting the files for a plastic gun, but those files were copied thousands of times and are now hosted on sites all over the internet.

Nightline Reports On Glock
The overall tone of the report in negative, but not as bad as I was expecting:

OPSEC For Journalists And Leakers
Wired’s Danger Room has some tips for journalists to protect their identity from subpoenas like the one involving the AP.
We now live in a world where public servants informing the public about government behavior or wrongdoing must practice the tradecraft of drug dealers and spies. Otherwise, these informants could get caught in the web of administrations that view George Orwell’s 1984 as an operations manual.
