That is, freedom from onerous laws, freedom from feckless politicians, freedom from the tyranny of government.<\/p>\n<p>Firearms exist. It&#8217;s Wilson&#8217;s mission to make sure that citizens of this Constitutional Republic have direct access to them despite efforts by the government to restrict and limit ownership. \u00a0He is the guy that fights to keep the genie out of the proverbially bottle.<\/p>\n<p>It started with his printable firearm, the liberator, a downloadable handgun that could be constructed with a 3-D printer. Now, the next step in his movement to make firearms universally available to the public is the &#8216;Ghost Gunner,&#8217; a CNC mill that gives one the ability to make a metal AR-15 lower receiver with ease. It&#8217;s home gunsmithing for the average joe.<\/p>\n<p>As Wilson told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/2014\/10\/cody-wilson-ghost-gunner\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ghost-gunner-making-ars-home-never-easy\" title=\"DIY AR-15 Lower Self Contained CNC Machine (Pre-orders This Week)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wired.com<\/a>, &#8220;Typically this has been the realm of gunsmiths, not the casual user.
