Had a chance to correspond back and forth with Cody Wilson, the modern crypto-anarchist who gave the world the open-sourced 3D printed gun. Once the genie is out of the bottle so to speak…

It seems his latest invention, a desktop portable CNC milling machine set up to drill the right holes in an 80 percent AR-15 lower, deemed the Ghost Gunner as an ode to Calif State Sen. Kevin de Leon, was used by a 2A group at the Texas state capitol this week to make two functional lowers on site.

Interesting conversation over at Guns.com

 

3D Printed Pistol Gets Shut Down by State Department

Cody Wilson, maverick firearms geek behind the printable gun craze is back in hot water again.  This time its for the design of his new single shot (single use) Liberator pistol. The thing is, he didn’t even sell it, he gave it away. This brought the ire not of the ATF, FBI, or some other law enforcement organization– but instead, the State Department.

After all the original Liberator was designed as a throwaway ‘gun to get a gun’ that could be dropped to resistance fighters behind enemy lines during World War Two. It seems that some overseas governments may be scared of letting this genie get out of the bottle.

As crazy as it sounds, this is for real.
