A friendly journo from WGBH Boston asked me what we think of Massachusetts H4885 serializing all the guns and banning all the gun equipment. I’ll tell you what I told her. The journalist asked where I got the idea that guns should be unserialized in the first place. I said a couple hundred years ago […]

Internet detectives have recently discovered JStark’s appearance as “K” on the “Incel” podcast from late 2019. I know JStark’s voice well and can personally confirm its authenticity here. Published six months before the FGC-9, what’s most notable in this interview is JStark’s fatalism and biological reductionism. He is convinced he has a serious, congenital mental […]

To demonstrate how much the logic of copyright has rotted his brain, the President of The Gatalog Foundation insists that it was he, and not FPC, the NCLA or Mike Cargill, who won in the recent Garland v. Cargill decision. How did old Fudd Busters manage this achievement? You see, he commissioned the images in […]

Ashley hard at work!

There’s a weird trend in our space of ersatz anarchists more or less begging for federal protection of their files. Just a sample: Big maudlin. One blanches.

Yesterday the Supreme Court granted certiorari in VanDerStok, the so-called “frame and receiver” case where Defense Distributed and Polymer80 are major intervenor plaintiffs.

Its anomalous procedural history shows just how dangerous the federal courts have found it over the years. Gift Exchange Justin Lee at Compact […]

This week saw FPC’s and New Jersey’s briefs at the Supreme Court in VanDerStok, the “frame or receiver” rule case against the ATF. Today we filed our brief as well, joined by Polymer80 and JSD Supply. The differences are merely in emphasis. Where FPC spends paragraphs on Due Process vagueness and the Second Amendment’s necessary […]

Last night I joined Garret on YouTube to answer questions concerning DEFCAD in support of victims of domestic FOSS. One of the questions we take up is: Why does DEFCAD require a membership even though most 3D gun files have free software licenses? On June 9, 2021, BIS sent Defense Distributed the first and only […]

ATF petitioned for cert in VanDerStok v. Garland, our “frame and receiver rule” case that The Fifth Circuit just won’t let Joe Biden win. It’s nice to read the words “Defense Distributed” in yet another Supreme Court petition. Polymer80 and JSD Supply have agreed to join our pending brief, where we will also request the […]
