Feds ban the 3d printed gun Liberator
#1
So the feds ordered that the plans for the Liberator be scrubbed from the download sites. They claim it violates export law :rolleyes:

“Until the Department provides Defense Distributed with final determinations, Defense Distributed should treat the above technical data as ITAR-controlled,” reads the letter, referring to a list of ten CAD files hosted on Defcad that include the 3D-printable gun, silencers, sights and other pieces. “This means that all data should be removed from public acces immediately. Defense Distributed should review the remainder of the data made public on its website to determine whether any other data may be similarly controlled and proceed according to ITAR requirements.”


Isnt this a first amendment issue?

Of course, its impossible to scrub info from the web, once its out there, it always will be. Hopefully you downloaded a copy before they took it down. If not, check bittorrent
