Over at this new home, The Blaze, Glenn Beck on Thursday interviewed Cody Wilson, 24, founder of Defense Distributed, the nonprofit organization behind the “Wiki Weapon” project to develop and disseminate functional files by which to print 3D firearms or firearm components. In the video interview, Beck reveals he owns a Makerbot Replicator 3D printer and Wilson says that the files to create a functional 3D printed high-capacity magazine, which he successfully test-fired in an automatic rifle, have been downloaded over 50,000 times since they were published on the Defense Distributed website last weekend.
