I don't believe so. Cody did not export any technology. He put it on his website, available for download. Now if anyone in the world can access the website and download his files, so be it. This is for a plastic one-shot gun that meets legal requirements for ownership by the person who builds one. There are numerous websites that offer plans for downloading war weapons can can cause mayhem to thousands, including nuclear and chemical bombs. This plastic gun design is a toy in comparison. It is a prototype that can be improved on, and will be by others. It is not critical technology to the U.S. government.
“It is not critical technology to the U.S. government.”
I agree. It is just a runaway gov’t exercising its muscles.
