Legion, If you haven’t seen it already, we recommend the new Vice documentary on the state of the 3D gun printing union: It’s capably made and its editorial tone is unbelievably objective. A fine record of what we’ve all been up to the last few years. I’ve read news of our brothers getting censored by […]

Comment on ATF 2021R-05
Legion, Uncle Joe’s new ghost gun rule has been published in the federal register, and so the 90 day comment period begins. DD has made a comment submission form available at Ghost Gunner, and will publish one on this site as well. Though we as an organization will submit a larger, official comment by letter, […]
Injunction Filing
Last night Defense Distributed filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against the State and Justice Departments. Our argument is easy for anyone to understand: The First Amendment protects 3D file publication The State Department no longer has regulatory jurisdiction over 3D files and has defended this in the Ninth Circuit The State Department has […]
Under Attack
The DOJ has demanded we take down the 16,000 files that have been newly issued to the public domain at DEFCAD. They claim the Ninth Circuit injunction is still in place, despite the stone cold legal fact that it is NOT. This is an artless pretext to somehow buy time for Uncle Joe to place […]
DEFCAD Round Three

The opinion is below. In short, 90% of the files at DEFCAD are now free for […]
Review of the Leaked Ghost Gun Rule – Pt. I

ATF offers the motive of clarifying the definition of a “frame or receiver.” The first ten pages are a justification for how the Agency has […]
Grewal and the Ghosts
Nothing in all that letter-writing seemed to incline the Supreme Court to bail out Gurbir Grewal, Attorney General of New Jersey, from his little Texan predicament with Defense Distributed. As I told Law360, the General has under color of law deprived the American public of information protected by the First and Second Amendments. He will […]
Executives and Orders
New York Attorney General Letitia James has heard Gurbir Grewal’s soundings from the Hornburg and comes rushing to his aid with… an amicus brief at the Supreme Court. And tweets! This bag and her swarm of 21 AG’s can only crow. If our work was in any way illegal, they’d do more than write mildly […]
