Gun Control? A $1,200 Milling Machine Makes Untraceable Guns, Sells Out in 36 Hours

 

Americans took this country by revolution. And we beat the Brits by becoming guerrilla fighters against ordered ranks of Redcoats.

With congress coming down on gun control, spinning every shooting incident toward anti-gun legislation, the revolutionaries of today have become smarter with new 3-D printers making guns.

You can buy a $1,200 computer controlled milling machine that can create untraceable gun parts.
I’m just passing this information on in the light of the new Gutenberg / Internet Revolution that we MUST win!

Over at Wired, there’s an update to an earlier report put together on Cody Wilson. Wilson unveiled the first working, 3D printed gun last year (in time for Christmas!). Well, his open source group “Defense Distributed” just released Ghost Gunner. From the group’s website:

Ghost Gunner is a miniature CNC machine designed to automatically manufacture publicy created designs with nearly zero user interaction. No prior CNC knowledge or experience is required to manufacture from design files. Defense Distributed’s first design is the venerable AR-15 lower receiver. Ghost Gunner automatically finds and aligns your 80% lower receiver to the machine, with simple installation instructions, point and click software and all required tools. Just follow a few simple instructions to mount your 80% lower receiver, tighten a couple screws (with simple tools we provide), and on day one, Ghost Gunner can help you legally manufacture unserialized firearms in the comfort of your own home.

As shipped, Ghost Gunner can manufacture any mil-spec 80% AR-15 lower receiver that already has the rear take down well milled out. Lowers with non-mil-spec trigger guards that are otherwise mil-spec are also compatible. Defense Distributed recommends using the 7075 Ares Armor Raw 80% Lower AR-15 Billet, available for purchase here.

The AR-15′s lower receiver is the part of the gun that is traceable by law. Serial number, that kind of thing—like on virtually every appliance or thing you own. No need for that law stuff with the Ghost Gunner. This past Wednesday:

Cody Wilson’s libertarian non-profit Defense Distributed revealed the Ghost Gunner, a $1,200 computer-controlled (CNC) milling machine designed to let anyone make the aluminum body of an AR-15 rifle at home, with no expertise, no regulation, and no serial numbers. Since then, he’s sold more than 200 of the foot-cubed CNC mills—175 in the first 24 hours. That’s well beyond his expectations; Wilson had planned to sell only 110 of the machines total before cutting off orders.

      WICKED !! Cool , this is one way to circumvent gun control .

      Just a FYI for those of you that were unaware – completion of 80% AR15 lowers is NOT a new thing; one has been able to perform this process for as long as I can remember, well over 50 years.

      The only changed here is that you now can spend $1200 instead of $300 and this device requires no drill press, addition tools like threaders, bits etc. with no requirement for machining knowledge. You must though know how to properly install and complete the receiver here with a lower parts kit and those parts must be “properly” installed and fitted for the lower receiver to operate correctly – not a hard task, but one that does require knowledge and skill.

      What is probably not covered here is that you cannot sell or tranfer this AR15 lower or make them willy nilly lest you run afoul of “manufacturing firearms without the proper license” problems.

      I suspect the “F” troop is drooling over this item, looking forward to all the prosecutions of those uninformed of the law.
