The judge suspends the plan to distribute '3D data of the gun' online

by Kevin Reese

To a person who tried to execute a plan to distribute 3D data of guns on-line, allowing anyone to create resin guns with 3D printers, the American judge "temporarily stops the plan It is reported that it ordered to do ".

Mr. Cody Wilson, who holds " cryptographic anarchism " and " free market anarchism " is a person who promotes possession of a gun that was also chosen as "the five most dangerous people on the net ." Mr. Wilson is working with the goal of "distributing 3D print gun data online," everyone wants to be able to manufacture guns using home 3D printers.

Defense Distributed , a non-profit organization founded by Mr. Wilson, has been under trial for many years, being sued for "it is forbidden to distribute gun 3D data online". The trial settled in July 2018, it was expected that 3D gun data online will be released online from August 1, 2018.

The Justice Department agrees to settle and allow data distribution in the lawsuit concerning distribution of 3D data of guns

However, at the end of July 2018, in the States of Massachusetts and elsewhere in the state of America, the opinion that "it is dangerous to distribute data of 3D guns online as well" is erupted. There was a movement to demand an injunction against the federal court.

"Distribution of gun 3D data is still dangerous" and 20 US states seek discontinuation

On July 30, 2018, nine lawyers insisted that "the settlement judgment is unconstitutional" and intervened in the judgment of the federal court. And the federal judge in Seattle issued an order to stop the plans of 3D gun data distribution on July 31, 2018 until the trial which determines whether the sentence is unconstitutional is over.

As a result, the distribution of gun data that can be made with 3D printers will be forced to postpone further, and the legal battle will be extended for a longer period of time. Barbara Underwood , a New York state attorney general, said, "A criminal should not simply release a tool that can make a gun that is almost impossible to trace by an investigative agency just by pushing a button." I insist.

Usually, when buying a gun in the United States, it is possible to investigate age and criminal record, but guns manufactured by household 3D printers do not have such restrictions. In addition, because it is made of resin, it does not catch on a metal detector and it is regarded as dangerous to carry easily. Mr. Wilson has distributed 3D data of guns in the past and already over 100,000 people have gun 3D data. However, each state in the U.S. continues to demonstrate a willingness to oppose gun 3D data distribution in the future.
