514: Patriotic Printer

Cody Wilson and 3D Printed Firearms

The hosts revisit the story of Cody Wilson and his 3D-printed gun, the "Liberator." They express skepticism about Wilson's background and the "slick" promotional nature of his project. A clip from the 2013 State of the Union address is played, showing President Obama promoting 3D printing as a manufacturing revolution, which the hosts link to the government's interest in Wilson's activities.
