The State Department has asked Defense Distributed to take down its controversial 3D-printed gun blueprint. “I immediately complied and I’ve taken down the files,” said the group’s Cody Wilson. “But this is a much bigger deal than guns. It has implications for the freedom of the web.”
Defense Distributed has come out with a new gun magazine, which they kindly named after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who just signed a ban on large gun magazines in the state. “He [Cuomo] wants to be associated with these magazines,” Cody Wilson, the 24-year-old law student leading the group’s efforts, told TPM. “Lets make that association permanent.”
Even if you think that Cody Wilson should be allowed to move forward with the Wiki Weapon project, is anybody really surprised that the beginning stages of such a plan would involve cancelled leases and an ATF investigation? Honestly, we feel like he’s pretty lucky he didn’t get a knock on the door from Homeland Security (or any other federal agency for that matter) until he started asking questions of his own. source
