The 3D-printing gun enthusiasts are at it again coming up with master plans to democratize weapons manufacturing, and this time, they’re doing it in the name of the First Amendment. That’s right. The Second Amendment is important too, but according to the visionaries at the loosely organized advocacy group Defense Distributed, this mission is all about freedom of information. They’re calling it the “Wiki Weapon Project”. The ultimate goal: create a deadly 3D-printed handgun that anybody can assemble in the comfort of their own home.This is really happening. Led by University of Texas law student Cody Wilson, Defense Distributed is well on their way to raising the $20,000 they say they need to come up with a 3D-printable gun design, adapt it to cheap printers and spread it around the web. The gun doesn’t have to be fancy or pretty or anything, he says. It doesn’t even have to be durable. It just has to be deadly. “If a gun’s any good, it’s lethal. It’s not really a gun if it can’t threaten to kill someone,” Wilson told Forbes. “You can print a lethal device. It’s kind of scary, but that’s what we’re aiming to show.”Read the rest over at Motherboard.
