Just in Time for the Revolution

Defense Distributed has offered a pre-sale of its new milling machine which allows buyers to print and assemble a steel AR-15 rifle in the comfort of their own home. The weapon is completely untraceable.

Ghost Gunner is the company’s new computer-numerically-controlled (CNC) milling machine. Unlike its so-called Liberator gun, which is a plastic gun design to be created via a 3D printer, the Ghost Gunner is the PC-connected hardware for manufacturing the lower receiver of the popular AR-15 rifle.

The plastic gun required customers to have an expensive 3D printer, and then retrieve the digital blueprints from a website like Pirate Bay, a torrent site that hosts information despite objections from the US Department of State and other governments worldwide.

But the process is much easier with the Ghost Gunner, which comes with a $1,300 pre-sale price tag and will ship in January.

“Typically this has been the realm of gunsmiths, not the casual user. This is where digital manufacturing, the maker movement, changes things,” he said. “We developed something that’s very cheap, that makes traditional gunsmithing affordable. You can do it at home.”

[...]

The company’s co-founder, Cody Wilson, is a self-described anarchist.

Of course he is.

What a wonderful world.  If you have children still at home, you might want to consider a change of countries.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
