Come And Take It Texas announced plans to rally on the steps of the Capitol in Austin on the first day of the legislative session that includes manufacturing AR-15 lowers on site.
Besides stumping for the bill, CATI plans to use a Ghost Gunner system, developed by Austin-based Defense Distributed, to produce firearms at the rally.
The device, essentially a simplified desktop CNC machine, allows a user with no prior manufacturing skillset, to produce a working AR-15 lower receiver from almost any mil-spec 80 percent receiver blank due to pre-loaded software. As it takes about an hour to produce one receiver, the group could possibly finish 10 during the course of the rally.
