Saw this picture. Not sure if it should be posted here, or in one of the gun control threads.

Took longer than I thought
DEFCAD goes dark.
From the website:
Quote:
#DEFCAD has gone dark at the request of the Department of Defense Trade Controls,” the page announces. “Take it up with the Secretary of State.”
“DEFCAD files are being removed from public access at the request of the US Department of Defense Trade Controls,” a banner at the top of the site explains. “Until further notice, the United States government claims control of the information.”

You don't need a high speed printer and some plastic to make a zip gun.
If it gets to the point where they can make a real gun, I might worry.
Now how is this different from using a CAD machine shop to make one?

Yep, and that action by Dept of State* will do for viral international file sharing what Obama did for gun sales, just 'cause.
* Mr. Smith, Chief of Enforcement Division
ETA copy of the letter and correct agency attribution

What really has people upset about Wilson’s plastic pistol is the absence of permission inherent in the project. The idea that people might own something as dangerous and personally empowering as a firearm without society’s permission is what has always given gun-control advocates the fantods. That’s really what we talk about when we talk about guns: the power of the individual in relation to the collective, and the extent to which each of us needs to live by the permission of the rest. That argument is going nowhere, in all senses of the word.

Copies of the file were downloaded all over the world prior to the govt interfering.
Those copies, we downloaded back into the US, have acquired various errors.
There's a YouTube video somewhere of a guy printing a gun from a BitTorrent or pirate bay download.
He said the errors weren't too difficult to correct.
So much for that strategy.
