The new SCOTUS pick, Brett Kavanaugh, is very good on 2nd Amendment stuff, so we have some hope there as well.

This was apparently an ITAR issue, not an ATF issue.
Gottlieb added, âUnder this settlement, the government will draft and pursue regulatory amendments that eliminate ITAR control over the technical information at the center of this case. They will transfer export jurisdiction to the Commerce Department, which does not impose prior restraint on public speech. That will allow Defense Distributed and SAF to publish information about 3-D technology.â

Guys, youâre sharing a forum with people of all political stripes. Can we tone it down with the âbad guysâ stuff?

Haley,
In the end this case was a defense of freedom of speech. This is the most politically supported idea in America by all major political parties. As no major political party has it at their core the challenging of freedom of speech.
Also, this particular ruling support the freedoms to share information which is a core tenant of DMS from the very start.
The challenging of these core views were the product of apolitical bad bureaucracy. Not a political party as ITAR is not a political group, but a part of the bureaucracy for all political groups while in power.
I feel claiming political victim hood in this matter is being overly sensitive. This is a success for all of us.

Dude, no one is claiming political victim-hood here.
Sheâs pointing out the political baiting inherent in the extremely biased title and asking the only controversial committee at DMS to chill a little bit on the propaganda.
People who are concerned with the idea that anyone could produce their own gun are not âbad guysâ and itâs this kind of language that drives the divide even wider than it already is.
Iâm a firm believer in the idea that information wants to be free, but this is a very complicated issue and painting it black and white helps no one.

The fact that an individual may make any firearm that individual can legally purchase is a long standing legal precedent, and is one of the 2nd Amendment guarantees that the Anti-Gun forces and the BATFE have not been able to take away. People who are âconcernedâ arenât the âbad guysâ, but people who try to do an end-run around the Constitution are absolutely âbad guysâ.
That being said. The âbad guysâ in this conversation are the over-reaching federal bureaucrats that decided that ITAR covers a bunch of silly shit like 3d printed gun plans and low-level crypto algorithms.

I donât think ftw is at odds with what tombakerftw started. To assume that one believes x, therefore they believe y, is often incorrect. The same folks in government that allow one inalienable right will just as quickly take away another.
WaitâŚdoes FTW mean something other than âfor the winâ?
