Self-described crypto-anarchist and Defense Distributed founder and director Cody Wilson has created technology that could upend the gun control conversation utterly.

Wilson, 29, is fast making global access to unserialized, and therefore untraceable, firearms at the click of a button a reality with projects like the 3D printed gun and a computer-controlled milling machine called the Ghost Gunner. Proliferation of such technology could eventually render current gun control measures, like background checks, waiting periods, or even bans, obsolete.

The Arkansas native, listed as one of the "15 most dangerous men in the world," first burst onto the scene in 2013. Wilson, then a law student with no engineering experience, created technology which allowed for the downloading and 3D printing of the first untraceable plastic gun dubbed "the Liberator" — a so-called "Wiki Weapon."

Wilson says that he is not some gun enthusiast looking to mainstream his hobby, but rather is open about his contempt for the government and his pro-anarchy and anti-state agenda.

"I always thought of it as WikiLeaks for guns," Wilson told The Daily Wire of his original intent. "We were gripped by the possibility of the internet and the politics of it all. We went for the gun, because, okay, that’s a very significant political movement, and we developed the vocabulary and all the rhetoric as we went … eventually locating it in a strand of libertarian philosophy."

Adhering to Defense Distributed’s ethos and seemingly engineering a sought-after conflict with the federal government, the millennial dropped his blueprints online at his site DEFCAD.org for the world’s free access.

The move indeed triggered the federal government to act over what they deemed national security concerns. Wilson is still fighting the State Department in a multi-year lawsuit on First Amendment grounds after he was forced to remove such software from the internet.

In the meantime, the diligent anarchist has advanced his lucrative technology into what he calls the Ghost Gunner: a miniature computer-controlled milling machine costing around $1,600 that produces untraceable metal pistols and rifles "in the comfort and privacy of home."

What’s regulated by the federal government is the receiver of the pistol. If you’re making your own gun via 3D printer or the Ghost Gunner, no serial number is required, thus evading detection from the government. This also means legislative background checks and waiting periods would be rendered useless.
