New York Governor Kathy Hochul responded to 3D-printed gun creator Cody Wilson's new tool designed to circumvent state firearms laws, pledging to stay ahead of legal challenges to the state's restrictions.
Cody Wilson, who created the first 3D-printed gun, last week announced a tool called "Hochulization" intended to help users bypass New York's law preventing 3D printers from manufacturing firearms. The move was a direct challenge to the governor.
Hochul addressed the tactic on this week's episode of Decoder, stating: "You can tell Cody I will get ahead of him next." She signaled that her administration will continue developing legal measures to block workarounds to the state's gun manufacturing restrictions.
New York has been among the most aggressive states in regulating 3D-printed weapons. Hochul previously signed legislation banning the manufacture and distribution of unregistered firearms made with 3D printers, moves designed to close gaps in federal gun control.
Wilson's announcement represents an escalation in the ongoing legal and technical battle between gun rights advocates and state regulators seeking to prevent untraceable firearms from being produced.
