4. The "Cody Wilson" in OP wants to make sure white wing racists have access to guns.

Imagine being able to print a gun that gets through detectors. Every white wing gun fancier wants one of those for his weapons cache.


Cody Wilson -- Defense Distributed and the promoter of the printable guns in the OP -- is your typical white wing racist -- like most of today's gun fanciers.

A review of Wilson's book, aptly titled "Come and Take It" in reference to white wingers' chant "Come and Take Them (guns)," The Pacific Standard started it's review of the Wilson's book as follows:

PRINTED PISTOLS AND RACIAL PANIC -- When Cody Wilson pioneered 3-D printing for guns, he claimed the technology represented a victory for liberty. In Wilson's new book, it seems "liberty" can also mean "RACIAL PURITY."

One can also read about Wilson on the Southern Poverty Law Center page. That's quite an accomplishment for white wingers.

You can also find videos on youtube about this white winger, who kind of reminds me of Paul Ryan.
