Anti-gun violence groups file to halt online posting of 3D-printed gun plans
Three prominent anti-gun violence groups filed a motion early Wednesday to block a settlement that would allow for plans for 3D printed firearms to be posted online.

The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Everytown for Gun Safety and Giffords Law Center jointly filed in U.S. District Court in Texas an emergency motion to intervene and an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in the case.

A representative for the Brady Center confirmed to The Hill that a closed hearing will be held in the case Thursday.




The federal government had settled a lawsuit with gun rights activist Cody Wilson late last month, allowing him and his company, Defense Distributed, to post and sell the plans for 3D printed guns.

The government had initially ordered Wilson to remove the plans, first posted online in 2013, saying it violated international law on the export of defense materials. Wilson complied but sued the government in 2015.

The settlement exempts Wilson and his company from the restrictions on defense material exports, according to a copy of the settlement obtained by CNN.

The three anti-gun violence groups argue in the filings that the federal government was correct in initially finding that posting the plans on the internet “threatened national security.”

“The Settlement Agreement raises very serious national and international security concerns and would cause immediate and irreparable harm to the United States and its citizens and the global community,” the court documents read.

Pound sand.

They have no standing, and no injury that a court could address.

Would open the door to banning every single gunsmith book, website, YouTube etc...

The shit they smoke is strong for sure!

Hmmm.....banning the public display of ideas. How quaint. Where have we seen that before?

 

[Grimscale]

ignorant savages.
“The resulting settlement agreement, if carried through, threatens to undermine national security and the national defense of the United States by authorizing the posting and downloading of computer files allowing the fabrication of dangerous make-at-home firearms by any person anywhere in the world.”

So, a Right already protected, the ability to build guns for oneself, is now a "threat to National Security"?
I propose that these groups are the real threat to National Security as they blatantly advocate against the Constitution of the United States, and the Rights protected by the Bill of Rights, and, as such, are a threat to the Government of the People.

These groups should be censored in every aspect of their attempts to undermine the sovereignty of the United States. Their meetings should be banned, their bank accounts seized, their leaders arrested for treason, and their supporters shunned.


Fair's fair, right?

Suck it Antis!!! Judge Rejects Pleas from Giffords and Brady Campaign: 3-D Gun Printing Wins the Day | Breitbart

 

[livingston]

A group of anti-gun activists’ bid to thwart a State Department settlement with Cody Wilson’s Defense Distributed was dealt a crushing blow Friday when their Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction was rejected.
The judge in the case ruled that Gabby Giffords, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and Michael Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety had no standing in the case.


On July 10, 2018, Breitbart News reported that the State Department settlement with Defense Distributed was secured via a suit filed by the Second Amendment Foundation. The settlement allows Defense Distributed to share 3-D gun print files, gun part files, etc., online once more. The settlement was to be finalized by the Department of Justice on July 27 so Giffords, the Brady Campaign, and Everytown, filed their motion July 26 in hopes of derailing it.

Giffords, the Brady Campaign, and Everytown criticized the fact that “the Government … entered into this Settlement Agreement,”

3D printing makes it easy, zip guns have been around since the 60s. This is the evolution.

 

[Blimey]

I don't really expect felons to start buying printers and getting these any more than today they are buying 80% polymer lowers (which, btw, are far more robust than the vast amount of materials that 3D printers can print with), $100 drill press, and a $30 X/Y vice and drilling out their own AR lowers.

It seems like even the modicum of effort & intelligence required to create a firearm at home is more than the average felonious hoodlum can come up with. If they need to start researching on the internet and using their brain to put something together it's already too much effort.

Obviously the Antis' argument is base on fear and fear tactics rather than logic or, to used their beloved buzz phrase, common sense.

They are not worried about the felons ...They are worried about the average American making an undocumented gun. Schumer says he will quickly pass a law about this .... And he very well could ...

And it will be about as effective as the last one.


What was the compliance rate for the un-SAFE act again?

I very much doubt he could given he sits in the US Senate which like the House and White House are currently controlled by the Republican Party.

How long before 3D printing can produce practical defensive firearms?
On a broader scale 3D printing technologies have the potential to return humanity to personal self sufficiency. Which is probably why the globalists are so occupied in killing it.

@livingston Agree 100% with as many people as possible to do a download.
@BDinPutnam Nope. Just arrange for a couple hundred distributed "mirror" sites to download first.

When will they upload a file for a Claymore?
That would be worth printing.

How you going to print the explosive backing?

I read on the interwebs that 3-1-9 mixture of unicorn urine and liberal tears mixed with play-doh works.

 

[Target]

Well if you can print a fully functional machine gun, a claymore can' t be too difficult.
It's a one time use item vs a 30 round per second rifle.

My "Front Toward Enemy" t shirt is in the wash; I am down with the M18Al.

I guess my point is even John Malkovich had to do the lucky rabbit foot key chain trick to get metal ammo past the detectors in In the Line of Fire. Have yet to find 100% metal-free, reliable ammo in any caliber.




...and now someone awesome here will prove me wrong!
