Cody Wilson Wants To Help You Make a Gun
An anonymous reader writes In 2013 Cody Wilson posted online the design files needed to 3D print weapons. The files were downloaded at least 100,000 times before the U.S. State Department ordered him to take them down. Last fall he reemerged with a new project, the Ghost Gunner--a relatively small and affordable CNC milling machine that could easily manufacture the lower receiver of an AR-15. It was a different approach toward the same goal of multiplying the number of firearms in the world. But are we really facing a world where backyard bunker-builders are manufacturing their own gun components? Reporter Andrew Zaleski visited Wilson to check on the status of his project. What he found was a man in the throes of small-business hell. As Wilson puts it, "It's like the nightmare of a startup with the added complication that no one will allow you to do it anyway."
It's obviously not so complicated that someone who isn't capable of determining the proper use-case of to/too/two is unable to assemble it either......
Oh, they have the internet on computers now
And the hoplophobes mark the insightful, pro-gun comment as a Troll.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
gee, it's right there in the constitution and everything
btw, "well regulated" in colonial america speak means well trained. the intent of the founding fathers was that those with guns be well trained. so the current status quo of "hand guns to every mouth breathing moron who grunts" is against the constitution and the will of the founding fathers
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
But not for an Internet tough guy such as yourself.
You are welcome on my lawn.
