Yesterday when the Texas State Legislature convened in the Austin state capitol, they were greeted with a very unique form of demonstration โ€” Advocates of open carry were manufacturing โ€˜ghost gunsโ€™ in front of the capital to celebrate three proposed open carry bills.

The bill HB 195 was the main cause for celebration however; this bill if passed would allow the open carry of handguns without permits, a right that is currently denied to gun owners in Texas.

Come and Take it Texas, the group rallying on the capitol steps, purchased the Ghost Cutter CNC machine โ€” a 3D printer designed to manufacture guns โ€” and could be seen manufacturing guns and rallying for their rights to carry guns openly.

The photo displays one of the demonstrator using the Ghost Cutter CNC to manufacture a lower receiver for an AR-15 gun at the rally near the state capitol. The demonstrator acknowledged that this homemade gun would lack a serial number, making it illegal to buy or sell according to gun laws in most states.
