California is suing @FuddBusters, @NaviGoBoom, and @CtrlPew2 for sharing 3D models and instructions online.
The NRA is proud to stand with them in defense of free speech and the right to keep and bear arms.
California is testing a new legal theory that puts digital publishing under pressure.
The state sued two groups for hosting and organizing firearm related code and instructions, arguing that making these files publicly accessible violates state law because it facilitates illegal gun manufacturing by others.
The case does not allege the defendants printed guns themselves. It focuses on publishing activity combined with tutorials, file submission systems, and promotion, and asks the court to treat those actions as unlawful facilitation rather than protected expression.
Yall remember that French company that took a bunch of good files and modified them into bad files and re-released them so that people would get injured?
