Red Alert Politics sat down with Cody R. Wilson, the creator of the first 3D printed gun and author of Come and Take It: The Gun Printer's Guide to Thinking Free, to talk about his new book and the future of firearms and freedom.

Wilson took an idea and $20,000 of seed money and created the beginning of a revolution by creating the first 3D-printed handgun. Big government politicians' anti-gun proposals will be fruitless in the future because firearms can now be printed at home.

"I wanted it to be understood that these projects don't just come from high-mindedness," Wilson told Red Alert. "You have an idea, and you're kind of naive and dumb enough to think, 'well maybe I can do it' and everything else begins to happen to you consequently."

The book is the story of Wilson's time creating the first 3D-printed gun including the process, missteps, and media perception of him.

"If you want to do anything, especially in this environment of things that have been ruled impossible, officially impossible legally and otherwise, you have to conduct a great going over," he continued. "A lot of people think of this as 'look dude you made a plastic pistol so what?' Yeah, but along the way we had to create one of the largest file-sharing websites in the world, we had to create all these alternative mechanisms for creating money, and of course now I've built a multi-million dollar company. These things aren't accidental."
