Feds 'Confiscate' 3-D Gun Blueprints
State Department orders firm to remove 3D-printed guns web blueprints
Defense Distributed tweeted on Thursday that ‘Liberator’ project had ‘gone dark’ at the request of government officials

The US government has blocked a Texas-based company from distributing details online of how to make a plastic gun using a 3-D printer.
The ban, by the State Department citing international arms control law, comes just days after the world’s first such gun was successfully fired.
Defense Distributed, the company that made the prototype, stated on Twitter that its project had “gone dark” at the instigation of the government.
The company is run by Cody Wilson, a 25-year-old University of Texas law student who has said the idea for freely distributing details about how to produce the guns online was inspired by 19th century anarchist writing. Wilson argues everyone should have access to guns.
A State Department spokesman said: “Although we do not comment on whether we have individual ongoing compliance matters, we can confirm that the department has been in communication with the company.”
The action came too late to prevent widespread distribution of the files: Defense Distributed told Forbes that the files have already been downloaded more than 100,000 times in the two days since they were uploaded. The largest number of downloads initially were to addresses in Spain, followed by the US, Brazil, Germany and the UK.

History has once again repeated itself…
The genie has escaped its bottle… and now even MORE creative individuals will copy, improve, redesign, share and distribute these files virally. Why? Evil is viral… Freedom is viral… the harder it gets suppressed, the more folks resist… the less force… the less resistance there is.
MAD… Mutually Assured Destruction… the dirtiest yet most effective deterrent against evil. It’s from the post-Cold War nuclear era where both sides of Good & Evil were evenly armed. The question was… was starting a nuclear war worth human extinction? -No, we all decided.
Now, the question is… is starting a war to protect FREEDOM worth it? What happens next is up to you. Surrender & become evil… or resist / fight evil. Because evil being what it is…will always start a fight to get control of good folks and destroy ithem, their families and lives.. that can never be allowed.
Good folks NEVER start a fight… but they will end one… or die trying. Because the alternative to dying as a free man… is dying as a slave.
Well put
Fear is the worst weapon of all
yep. fear can shred a man’s soul while eating his brain.
Send it abroad and back to the internet.
bravo…bravo…bravo
