What really has people upset about Wilson’s plastic pistol is the absence of permission inherent in the project. The idea that people might own something as dangerous and personally empowering as a firearm without society’s permission is what has always given gun-control advocates the fantods. That’s really what we talk about when we talk about guns: the power of the individual in relation to the collective, and the extent to which each of us needs to live by the permission of the rest. That argument is going nowhere, in all senses of the word.

And this is why I don't respect Adam Kokesh; He goes to the DC Police, hat in hand, to 'work out an arrangement' IN ADVANCE. If he had some real stones, he'd simply inform the police that the march was going to happen and leave it at that. If he had brains, he would go about his proposed march in a different place/time with better planning, &tc.
Freedom is never seeking or needing permission from ANYONE to do what you have a RIGHT to do. Tyranny - and tyrants - seek to require permission for anything / everything that isn't arbitrarily prohibited for the sake of destroying individual liberty!
Should have Recorded it all. I cannot seem to penetrate the Cell-Tower ElectroSmog in Order to Recall Just what It was that Schools Taught here in Canada back in the 1960's.

So where is this supposed "permission required" resting? what's the genesis of it?
This is what I mean when I talk about how Americans argue in the level of "should we or shouldn't we" instead of can government do this or not? We MUST ask what AUTHORITY exists for EVERY "law" existing and ALSO every law proposed.
The Silent Speaker SAID all introduced legislation must have a citation of authority accompanying it. What happened to that and when was the last time anyone asked HIM about that promise?
Cody Wilson achieved his objective !
Anyone, anywhere can make an effective single shot firearm from readily available materials. His "experiment" targeted those with a digital mentality; perhaps in hopes they'll now look to analog methods. >Jeff
I hope Mr Wilson can come up with a fairly robust pistol design that uses a COTS drop-in barrel so that it's not just a one-shot. Doesn't have to be a true semi-auto. A manual re-cocking/re-loading will do.
