Gun Revolution: 3D Printer Guns that Everyone can Built at Home to Prove Gun Control Law Won't Work




(Fox News) Video above shows the first 3D-printed gun successfully being fired. Defense Distributed, a Texas company, has found a way for people to make their own guns at home. The process involves a 3D printer and the end result is functional plastic gun that can shoot real bullets.
The plastic guns wouldn't require background checks or set off metal detectors. Trace Gallagher reports that the group is headed by self-described anarchist Cody Wilson. He's said he's trying to make a political point that gun control laws simply won't work.
The company said it's willing to share the blueprints with anyone who wants them. It's apparently already been downloaded over 50,000 times worldwide.
Now lawmakers are trying to beef up laws on plastic weapons. The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence is more concerned about Wilson than the 3D printers. They said, "What makes Wilson dangerous isn't his tech savvy. It is his belief that he has an individual right to employ violence when he personally finds our democratically-enacted laws to be 'tyrannical.'"
Wilson said he doesn't advocate violence, but he does advocate ignoring the government.

Michael Rivero is the webmaster of http://whatreallyhappened.com/ and host of the What Really Happened radio shows on the Republic Broadcasting Network. Formerly with NASA, Michael transitioned his image processing skills (along with a brief stint as an actor) into the then-new motion picture computer animation field and has worked on films such as "Star Trek", "The Day After Tomorrow", and has supervised visual effects on "Brainscan," "LOST", and "Hawaii Five-0." Michael has taken a sabbatical from film work to focus all his efforts on peace activism. Michaels foray into blogging began before the word was even invented, and happened almost by accident when he spotted a suspicious photograph being broadcast on ABC news in 1994 related to the death of White House deputy Council Vincent Foster. Since that sudden beginning, Michaels website has expanded to cover diverse topics including the JFK assassination, the accidental shoot-down of TWA 800, election fraud, health issues, Saddams non-existent nuclear weapons, 9-11, the economy, and of course, the lies used to trick the United States into wars of conquest on Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Iran. Michael resides in Hawaii with his wife Claire, who is a composer and creates much of theme music used on the What Really Happened radio show.

Liberator - Dawn of the Wiki Weapons
The first 3-D-printed gun has been fired, and the directions to print a gun can be downloaded online by anyone.
(Globalnews) TORONTO -- It's called The Liberator and it's the world's first 3D printed gun. The Liberator is the brain child of law student Cody Wilson's company Defense Distributed in Austin, Texas. The blueprints for the gun were released on his website Defcad.org Monday, ready to download for free and be printed by anyone who has access to a 3D printer.
"Where there's a computer, there'd be a weapon," Wilson told 16×9. "Well, literally where there's a 3D printer."
The gun, smaller than a 9mm, is made almost entirely of plastic, except for a metal firing pin, and could cost about $60 to make. It's capable of firing between eight and nine rounds until the barrel breaks. Not a problem, Wilson said, people can just print another barrel.
Wilson previously printed gun parts, like a lower receiver for the AR-15 and has been working on this project for almost a year.
But he is also quick to point out that this project is political and about access to information. "You know, I don't think you should be armed, right? But I think you should have to choice to be."
There are few rules for what someone can or can not make with 3D printing. According to the National Firearms Act in the United States, it is legal for someone to make their own gun, but to distribute or sell it requires a license.
Wilson received his manufacturing licence from the Bureau for Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) earlier this year, allowing him to distribute his plans online. So far, people from all around the world have downloaded his blue prints.
But many are worried about how the technology will be used. A heated gun debate in the United States and shootings like the one in Newtown, Connecticut have dominated headlines amidst cries for stricter regulations and background checks.
