I don't have a 3D printer yet, but I downloaded for the express purpose of uploading it if they did this.

Why would FEDGOV worry about this modest plastic gun while real, more powerful guns are still available? It can only be the printed gun represents a threat to their plans, and therefore, their plans MUST be that no-one will have real guns.

what gives them the legal authority to do this to the guy.

The recent scrapping of the 1st and 2nd Amendments to the Constitution.

That’s like pulling cigarette papers because someone might roll a blunt with them!

The plans on the website served their purpose. They are widely distributed now and will turn up from time to time on the web, on foreign sources and such.

The genie is out of the bottle and there is no stopping it now. Here’s a link to the file. I scanned it after download and it came up clean. Enjoy! https://mega.co.nz/#!JplQVDDQ!Qi8kflIn8kMZl0hK96YW1h7RIc9vz2SfErzB-7qRV-0

Too late.

The original site reached 100,000 downloads about 12 hours ago.

All you have to do is go to Piratebay and search for ‘liberator’ under ‘other.’

I count a total 1460 live seeders up right this second pumping that file to every corner of the world!

This is setting up to be a battle royale. Unfortunately, this action on the part of the Feds will increase the price of 3D printing for a considerable time, perhaps long enough for them to control it.

GOOD. More people will get pissed off at the feds and work on the design.

Expect a printed semi-auto pistol within one year

the feds would pull plans for making a pointed stick off the internet if they thought they could get away with it...

...or loganberries.

How will this action increase the cost of 3D printing?

When it was fired for the first (and only?) time, it was fired from a distance by way of a string tied to the trigger. The young man pulling the trigger with the string said that he was an engineer.

Because the Feds can make it difficult to simply do business: audits, illegitimate raids, harrassment, striking fear, and various other tactics that drive people from a legitimate business.

I agree but they haven’t directly targeted 3D printing...yet.

All these guys were doing is posting CAD files. Anyone can do this anonymously and host the files in some other country.
