Designer of 3D printed gun will distribute gun plans despite court order

Cody Wilson says he began selling the plans Tuesday morning and that he’ll sell them for any price. "Anyone who wants these files is going to get them". In addition, he’s encouraging other gun enthusiasts to join his platform and start selling their own firearm blueprints, where they’ll receive a 50 percent cut of all sales. Wilson has argued that he should be able to put the plans online because they count as free speech, so the US government shouldn’t be able to censor it. The lawsuit that prompted the extended injunction Monday was filed after Defense Distributed settled a lawsuit with the U.S. State Department that would have allowed the files to be posted publicly online. "The very objective for which the private defendants seek to release this technical data is to arm every citizen outside of the government’s traditional control mechanisms of licenses, serial numbers, and registration", said U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik this week, extended a temporary ban he ordered late last month. The states argued that online access to the undetectable plastic guns would pose a security risk and could be acquired by felons or terrorists. Wilson spoke a day after a federal judge in Seattle granted a motion for a preliminary injunction that blocked him from releasing downloadable blueprints for 3D-printed guns until the litigation is resolved. 9-year-old boy kills himself after coming out as gay Jamel Myles told his mother, Leia Pierce , that he was gay this summer, Pierce told local station […]
