Not sure where this came from, but Ted Deutch is from Florida, not Massachusetts.



The thing that's really got the antis riled up is the idea that guns can be manufactured that a) the government doesn't know about because they're not manufactured by a recording keeping company AND b) they can be produced without a serial number.



They're giving way too much credibility to the idea that somehow all guns can be traced.

So what if people print their own guns, it is still illegal for a prohibited person to possess ammunition!

The involved states are making a 10th Amendment argument that the settlement made by the feds with DD infringe upon their rights to regulate firearms.

I have a feeling a lot of AGs are going to be paying damages to DD.

Except none of those states actually ban possession or dissemination that information. I have a feeling a lot of AGs are going to be paying damages to DD. How can a RO be issued against a lawful, and constitutionally protected (1A), act?

10. Actual damages in an amount according to proof at trial;
11. Attorney fees and costs pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988; and

I don’t have them, but we should come up with ways to flood the world with these files that have been out for 5 years.

As you can see from the Complaint, Governor Wolf and Attorney General Shapiro make multiple false statements about both the factual background (e.g. that the Defense Distributed “provide guns to residents of the Commonwealth”) and the law (e.g. that electronic data constitutes a firearm and that the UFA or GCA regulate data). More importantly, there are numerous ways to challenge this action, including my hope that Defense Distributed, et al., files a counterclaim under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1988 for violation of their constitutional rights and that Governor Wolf and AG Shapiro can explain to the residents of the Commonwealth, why the taxpayers have been hit with a several hundred thousand dollar attorney fee award.

Attorney General Frosh Files Suit to Prevent Distribution of
Files for 3-D Printed Firearms ​

BALTIMORE, MD (July 30, 2018) – Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh will join a multistate lawsuit to block a Trump Administration action that gives criminals and terrorists access to downloadable, untraceable and undetectable 3D-printed weapons. In an abrupt reversal, the federal government settled the case against Defense Distributed on June 29, 2018, an organization dedicated to global distribution of open-source, downloadable 3D-printed guns. As part of the settlement, the Trump Administration will allow the downloadable guns for unlimited public distribution in any form.

“Through this settlement, our federal government is allowing anyone armed with a computer and a printer to make and distribute guns, jeopardizing the safety of all Americans” said Attorney General Frosh. “This action demonstrates reckless disregard for public safety and national security.”
