Cody Wilson, the creator of the first 3D-printed gun, announced a tool last week aimed at skirting a New York law that prevents 3D printers from making firearms — and taunting governor Kathy Hochul in the process. But Hochul isn’t having it. In this week’s episode of Decoder, Hochul responded to Wilson’s “Hochulization” tool, warning she isn’t going to let it defeat the state’s efforts: You can tell Cody I will get ahead of him next.
