Today, starting at 8am and ending at 6pm, CATI (Come And Take It) Texas began protesting in Austin, to show their support for Constitutional Carry Bill BH 195. As of now, in Texas, you are allowed to open carry rifles and shotguns, but the new legislation would make it legal for gun owners to open carry and conceal handguns without the need for a conceal carry license.

CATI decided to use the Ghost Gunner from open source gun advocacy group, Defense Distributed, as a protest symbol. According to the Ghost Gunner website, the Ghost Gunner is “a non-profit, open source hardware effort by Defense Distributed. Ghost Gunner builds on the open source community’s existing hard work, including the gshield 3 axis motion hardware, the grbl g-code parser and motion controller, and the legendary Arduino microcontroller. All Ghost Gunner schematics and design files will be published into the public domain.” It’s a desktop CNC machine initially designed to print the lower receiver of an AR-15, which is legally considered a gun.
