(Video) Click, Print, Gun: the Inside Story of the 3d-printed Gun Movement

<p>From Erin Lee Carr of Motherboard:</p><blockquote>Being a novice in the 3D-printing world, I was once somewhat skeptical of what it would and could accomplish. I saw Makerbot CEO Bre Pettis on the cover of Wired in late September, and while the novelty of the process incited wonder in my inner 10-year-old, I didn't think much about it after the fact.</blockquote><blockquote>Enter Cody R. Wilson. Wilson is a 25-year-old University of Texas law student who is working to build semiautomatic weapons using a 3D printer. His name first came up in conversation with a colleague after he posted an Indiegogo pitch video demonstrating his intended use for a newly acquired Stratasys 3D printer, which Stratasys subsequently repossessed.</blockquote><blockquote>I was intrigued; Wilson seemed to be an articulate and tech-savvy mouthpiece for a movement that a large portion of the country would deem dangerous and off-limits. To find out more about his fight against gun control, I flew down to his home base of Austin, Texas, with a Motherboard film crew.</blockquote><p>Watch it now at Mystic Politics <a href="http://mys.tc/2l1" target="_blank">http://mys.tc/2l1</a>.</p>
