A federal judge is blocking the Trump administration from allowing 3d printed firearms to be Published online. AGAIN. The same federal judge.
U.S. District Court Judge Robert Lasnick issued his ruling Tuesday and claimed that the government violated federal law when the State Department agreed to allow blueprints for 3D-printed guns to be made available on the internet according to The Detroit News reported.
CBS News reports that in July 2018 the State Department reversed an earlier decision, made under the Obama administration, to ban posting of the gun blueprints. The Obama State Department had deemed the blueprints to be in violation of federal export laws, as they were downloaded by people outside the U.S. Soon after the Trump State Department changed tack on that, 19 states and Washington D.C. sued the Trump administration to block the reversal and keep the free gun blueprints off the internet.
It was Judge Lasnik who issued a restraining order in the summer of 2018 to ban the continued free online distribution of the instructions to print the difficult to detect, untraceable guns.
There was no immediate reaction from the U.S. Justice Department to the Tuesday ruling. The New York Times quoted a State Department official as saying Lasnik’s ruling was still being studied.
Wilson and Defense Distrbuted have argued that printing the gun blueprints online falls within 1st Amendment-protected free speech. A lawyer for the company told the New York Times that it would “be appealing and fully expects a swift reversal” of Lasnik’s ruling.
“With today’s unprecedented ruling, a few rogue state officials have commandeered the State Department to do their unconstitutional bidding nationwide,” Chad Flores, a lawyer for the Austin, Texas-based company, told the New York Times…
There is a lot of misinformation being spread in the video. The reporters seem to keep going back to metal detectors claiming they will not be detected… despite the fact that the ammunition, springs, screws and other hardware is in fact metal… and VERY detectable.
Banning 3D printed firearms will set a dangerous precedence. Not only is this a violation of the 2nd amendment but the 1st amendment as well.
“Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem.”
“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery”
