Gun-rights activists have reached a settlement with the government that will allow them to post 3-D printable gun plans online starting August 1. The settlement ends a multi-year legal battle that started when Cody Wilson, who describes himself as a post-left anarchist, posted plans for a 3-D printed handgun he called "The Liberator" in 2013. The single-shot pistol was made almost entirely out of of ABS plastic – the same stuff they make Lego bricks out of – that could be made on a 3-D printer. The only metal parts were the firing pin and a piece of metal included to comply with the Undetectable Firearms Act. The US State Department told Wilson and his non-profit group Defense Distributed to take down the plans. It said the plans could violate International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), which regulate the export of defense materials, services and technical data.
n essence, officials said someone in another country – a country the US doesn't sell weapons to – could download the material and make their own gun. Wilson complied, but said the files already had been downloaded a million times. He sued the federal government in 2015. The settlement, which is dated June 29, says that Wilson and Defense Distributed can publish plans, files and 3-D drawings in any form and exempts them from the export restrictions. The government also agreed to pay almost $40,000 of Wilson's legal fees and to refund some registration fees.
As if that law was worth a damn in the first place. I know I have at least a half dozen copies of the original DefDis file dump, before they got shoah'd. Those files were already out there, but its good to see the govt won't v& people for having them now.

The only Edge you've ever felt is the edge of the fence of sexuality, and you made the decision to fall on the homosexual side.
You're not fooling anybody, Mr. Video Game Loser.

The only thing more shameful than you projecting your gayness to others is that your willingness to bully others with your wishful thinking about sex with roasties, Faggotune.

Actually they don't, since I downloaded those files before the lawsuit forced them to take it down.
