On 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.

Cody Wilson is featured in the Netflix documentary "Print the Legend"... about 3d printer companies competing to start up. He is the epitome of the arrogance of immaturity.

This is why we need controls on ammunition more than on guns.

CNC Mill =/= 3-D Printer

CNC mills and 3-D printers are both advanced, but work in opposite manners. Mills remove material. 3-D printers add material.
