This is a story about the rapid evolution of a technology that has forced the American legal system to play catch up. Cody Wilson, a 25 year old University of Texas Law student, is an advocate for the open source production of firearms using 3D printing technology. This makes him a highly controversial figure on both sides of the gun control issue. MOTHERBOARD sat down with Cody in Austin, Texas to talk about the constitution, the legal system, and to watch him make and test-fire a 3D-printed gun.

Prediction on 3D printing failed
加拿大找工作非常容易，无论做什么工作，都同样被尊重，同样可以拥有体面的人生。
THE US CAN NOW MILITARIZE GEURILLA FIGHTERS AND HUNTAS WITHOUT SUPPLYING ACTUAL WEAPONS. OF COURSE THE UNITED STATES LOVES THIS IDEA. WHO AM I TO PROTEST? LIKE STOLEN SOFTWARE SERVERS WILL SUPPLY FILES CAPABLE OF BUILDING GUNS.
Amazing how far 3d printing has come since this video. 3D2A is so much more viable and easier to make now.

3d printed guns kill people deader than others? I bet the author of this video is in Antifa…lol.
Beautiful
Look how much attention goes to this guy that has a hobby and turning it into business THAT HAS A LICENSE….COPS KILL PEOPLE EVERY DAMN DAY (nothing to see here) All im gonna say is A.I
The music in the background is like a satanic underground horror flick
Vice news. Biased as hell. Slanted to weak liberals
This video was uploaded 9 years ago
3D printing technology has advanced beyond imagination.
16:03 9 years later, i don't think i even know ANYONE irl that owns a 3d printer, and i highly doubt that's gonna change in the next couple months lmao
This guy is a hero!
all i have to say is that the "freedom" in the US is scary.

Respect for Cody
THESE RULES ARE ENSHRINED IN THE CONSTITUTION OF USA TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC THE CITIZENS AGAINST ANY DESPOTIC RULE, ALLOWING CITIZENS TO UPRISE THE IDEA OF DEMOCRATS AND CHANELS LIKE YOURS SEEMS TO BE TO TAKE AWAY THAT RIGHT FROM THE CITIZENS SO THAT THEY BECOME HELPLESS AGAINST POLITITIANS.
THE RISTRICTION AGAINST GUNS AND WEAPONS WERE MAINLY PLACED BY COLONIZING FORCES TO SUBJUGATE THE LOCAL POPULOUS FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL TO ACCEPT THEIR RULE AND ADMINISTRATION BY FORCE, BEST EXAMPLE IS INDIA WERE THE BRITISH ROUTIENELY SHOT AND KILLED PEACEFUL FREEDOM FIGTERS AND PUBLIC WHO BECAME HELPLESS AGAINST THE TIRANICAL BRITISH RULE.
Wait until they find out about the Luty.
So this is how the quiet kid gets his guns.
Excellent, unfortunately the state is going to interfere with this somehow.
That evil dastardly arFifteen. How could any of these fine journalists allow themselves to be anywhere near that evil inanimate object? How? Say it ain't so.
Well, decade later & 3D printers have yet to penetrate homes. But maybe there's still more time.
Nice, I need a 3d printer.
If you are wondering what the ominous music is at the end it is "Dreaming in the Face of Disaster" — Deadhorse
