For Constitutionalists and 2nd Amendment advocates, 3-D Printing just got really interesting.
Next week, on January 13th, Come and Take it Texas (CATI), one of the biggest and most forward-thinking guns rights advocates in the US, will be conducting a 2nd Amendment public demonstration the footsteps of the Austin, Texas Capitol building, showcasing the Ghost Gunner CNC machine.
The Ghost Gunner machine is a non-profit open source hardware effort developed by Defense Distributed, the company behind the world’s first 3D Printed Gun named, the ‘Liberator Pistol’ and brainchild of Texas-based entrepreneur, Cody Wilson.

While speaking with founder of Come and Take it Texas, Murdoch Pizgatti, on whether the Washington establishment was threatened by his group’s demonstrations he said, “Washington is threatened by anything they themselves do not fully control. The Obama Administration has put a lot of eggs into their gun control basket and they did not expect us to flip around the argument and put them on the defensive with open carry legislation.”
The Ghost Gunner machine will be finishing the manufacturing of firearms that are up to 80% near completion from being a ‘legal’ gun. Upon completion, the owner of the firearm will have a fully intact firearm in their possession, minus a serial number or permit.
When pressed on the issue of whether the open carry demonstrations are hurting the 2nd Amendment movement the US, Pizgatti said, “People told us walking around open carrying rifles would hurt the gun rights movement, yet groups across the state have copied our every move and now we stand to reclaim constitutional carry, now they say we are crazy to do this but, we know you either flex your rights or lose them. It’s harder to make the trail than to walk on someone else’s”.

3-D Printed guns made national and world news last year when Cody Wilson and his tech garage non-profit start-up Defense Distributed came under direct attack from New York’s liberal Senator Charles Schumer and Congressman Steve Israel, who both wanted to shut down the progenitor of the first 3-D printed gun, and proposed to slap a Federal government ban the technology.
Pizgatti explains how, unlike CATI, most of the Washington-based gun control groups will never work because they have no true movement of supporters. “What we’re doing here is the real deal” he said.
A young organization of just 2 years, Pizgatti and CATI hope to help pass Constitutional Carry Bill HB 195 which will allow the open carry of a firearm without a permit.
