Technology… putting power back in the hands of citizens and keeping tyranny at bay. It’s a beautiful thing!

Cody R Wilson has figured out how to print a semi-automatic rifle from the comfort of his own home. Now he’s putting all the information online so that others will join him.

This is a story about the rapid evolution of a technology that has forced the American legal system to play catch up. Cody Wilson, a 25 year old University of Texas Law student, is an advocate for the open source production of firearms using 3D printing technology. This makes him a highly controversial figure on both sides of the gun control issue. MOTHERBOARD sat down with Cody in Austin, Texas to talk about the constitution, the legal system, and to watch him make and test-fire a 3D-printed gun.

This man gets it. He is a true patriot.

During the end credits of Wednesday’s episode of “Survivor,” contestant Jeff Kent left with a parting jab at the re-elected president, saying the $1 million prize he just lost would be “only $600 grand by the time Obama takes it.”

Kent — a former professional baseball player — was a contestant in the 25th season of the CBS reality show “Survivor,” set in the Philippines.

“You know what pisses me off” Kent said, “is that I think I’ve made about $60 million dollars playing baseball and I want this freaking million dollars in this game. And it’s not even a million bucks, it’s $600 grand by the time Obama takes it.”

“I’m a game 7 World Series loser, you know: I’ve played in the biggest games in the world and the worst games in the world, but this just sucks,” he said.
