Politicians and members of the Civilian Disarmament Industrial Complex are still operating under the delusion that they can keep the lid on 3D printed guns and parts, despite the fact that people have been making their own firearms for hundreds of years. Al Gore’s greatest invention has only made the information and the processes more […]
Most shocking news of today: a Massachusetts legislator is opining on something about which he knows absolutely nothing. Seems kind of like a pointless fight to me, because in the short time before Defense Distributed withdrew its post, hundreds of other websites had copied it. They still host the blueprints. (Massachusetts legislator David) Linsky hadn’t […]

The state of New Jersey has always held the Second Amendment in contempt. Now, as evidenced by threats made by the Garden State’s Attorney General, Gurbir Grewal, against codeisfreespeech.com and their hosting service, it’s now clear how little regard they have for the First Amendment, too.

When it comes to gun control in Massachusetts, Attorney General Maura Healey is a law unto herself. Who needs a state legislature when you can impose your own laws like instituting an “assault weapons” ban and outlawing 3D-printed guns by diktat? Life’s so much easier as an elected official when you don’t have to muck […]
