Gun control is finished.

Cody Wilson won his case.

If I were to travel back to the 80s and tell people that i’m from the future and this device in my hand can broadcast to the entire world and there’s little to nothing government can do about it, they’d all laugh and think I’m crazy. If you recall the furor about encryption in the 90s, you’ll understand. Now encryption is in everything.

With Defense Distributed’s winning decision this week, we are in the same place as it comes to firearms. It may seem kooky today, in 30 years, anyone will be able to produce firearms despite how hard governments attempt to crack down on it. Oh, sure there will be rules, penalties, jailing and such, but they won’t be able to stop it.

“Gun control is finished.

People don’t understand the significance of this case (which he didn’t actually win in court - because the .gov settled, knowing that they had ZERO chance of winning).

In probably less than 10 years, the materials science behind 3-D printing will likely have advanced enough so that someone could buy a machine for about $1,000 - $2,000 that could quickly, and without error, make firearms that are as accurate and durable as any made in a “regular” gun factory.

See my tagline...and read van Vogt’s book, “The Weapons Shops of Isher,” for some background on where we are headed. As you might imagine for a fan of that book, I am absolutely ECSTATIC about what happened with the Defense Distributed case. This is a combination of Yorktown, VE Day and VJ Day and winning a huge Powerball lottery, all at once.
