Crypto-Anarchist Cody Wilson Has Streamlined 3D Printed Handgun/Firearm Software (Not A Political Post)
Untraceable guns. Yes, Handguns. Yes, Untraceable Assault Rifles.
Cody Wilson, Crypto-Anarchist and creator of the first widely popular 3D Printed Handgun, has put this power into the hands of the masses with his company Defense Distributed. They provide software that allows users to create 3D Printed Assault Rifles, M1911 Handguns, and other firearms. Cody Wilson has long been involved in crypto, having worked on the Dark Wallet, a project that began development in 2013. As you might imagine, Wilson is a gun rights activist, a hero to others who back the movement. He has appeared in documentaries regarding 3D printing, the Dark Web, and Crypto, and is a well-known personality in the crypto-media.
Quote: "Wilson has announced the Ghost Gunner 2 has implemented new software that can mill an aluminum frame of an M1911 handgun." (https://news.bitcoin.com/crypto-anarchist-cody-wilson-launches-3d-printed-m1911-handgun-software/).
The government has given him a lot of flack and he has been labeled one of the most dangerous men in the United States for his activities. Some would say for good reason, but I'm not writing this article to speculate on the outcome of these activities or to judge him for them.
I'm here to point out that this kind of power is available and solutions like these in many and all sectors are fast approaching, which will lead to a decentralization of power across our culture(s). Whether good or bad, time will tell, but the fact of the matter is that you can purchase this solution for less than half a bitcoin. Bitcoin makes up about 10% of the revenue for the company, their transactions being carried out by bitpay. We are entering a new realm of business and a new realm of power within the hands of the people. Political shifts are likely inevitable and we are going to see an unprecedented level of movement in our socio-economy, tumultuous times being a very likely repercussion of this.
The handgun looks like this:
I'm all for these untraceable weapons, and as long as all current laws are followed, it is all 100% legal to build and own... The problem comes in when one tries to transfer a home-built weapon, Big NO-NO!
This is all great for the law abiding gun owner, but does make it easier for criminals to build their own. But criminals are inherently lazy and stupid, for the most part. Usually the reason they turned to crime in the first place!
No SkillZ and no Motivation to pursue a normal legal path.
Very good points! Thanks for the input! :) I do think that the laziness of criminals though, for example, would make them an obvious choice as a market to cater to for an entrepreneurial criminal (which is where the transfer 'no-no' needs to be heavily emphasized), fwiw. There will likely be efforts to combat this though, legislatively. That's my guess, anyway.
