The technological process is not in place and the industry of weapons production is no exception to the General rule. Over the past five years craftsmen introduced the world’s first plastic gun, printed on a 3D printer. To create a lightweight version of lethal weapon can be anyone, in a few clicks after downloading the necessary file from the Internet.
Then came the milling machine, designed to automatically cut out aluminum gun AR-15, which is virtually impossible to track. Now wanting to create a full-fledged weapons with his own hands, got a chance to make a fully concealed pistol, which can be compared with a Ghost.
Do it yourself
On Sunday, the group of protection of rights to own guns Defense Distributed, has announced the release of a new version of software for computerized milling machines, known as the Ghost Gunner. The new program allows the machine with maximum precision to cut three-dimensional parts, which you can then assemble an aluminum frame pistol class M1911 (popular semi-automatic weapons like the Colt 45 ). Cody Wilson, the Creator of the machine says it’s only the beginning, and that in the future there will be other programs to build.
The latest model, Ghost Gunner can finish the frame of the gun in about an hour with minimal human intervention. And this frame is the only part of the weapon, production of which is regulated by law. Under current U.S. law, any other part of the gun, from the barrel before the trigger can be ordered online without any problems. Thus, the creation of a frame in the home means that the whole build process working arms doesn’t require identification, passage checks, waiting period, even the serial numbers that would allow the Ministry of justice to track down this gun.
Benefit or harm?
New software from Defense Distributed revealed to many people the path to gun ownership that is more secretive and more often used in violent crimes than large semi-automatic rifle. All those who can not legally obtain a license, for example, people with mental disorders or persons with a criminal record, can now get quite dangerous weapons, which, among other things, impossible to track.
The situation is aggravated by the fact that at the Federal level there is no law prohibiting guns Ghostthat allows anyone to bypass almost all the laws on gun control.
It is unclear how often the Ghost weapons are used for the actual violence, however, simplifying the creation of a homemade gun, Defense Distributed almost gives criminals the ability to secretly produce a semi-automatic weapon, which is widely used in the mass shooting.

Of the 4000 machines, sold by Defense Distributed, more than 1,000 represent the latest improved model. To use the machine fully, it is necessary to purchase special tools required for fixing parts of a semiautomatic weapon (they can easily order online), several special milling bits, and, in fact, software that provides Defense Distributed to clients on a USB drive.
Sam Wilson says that the promotion of the right to own guns and use technologies for his home production remains the Central ideological project. And despite the fact that the latest innovations can affect the worsening of the criminal situation, the man doesn’t plan to stop.
