This site was up for a couple of hours, and then down, again.

If you want to download the files, you're going to have to use Tor.

CODE IS FREE SPEECH. FREE SPEECH IS FREEDOM.
SACRAMENTO, CA (July 31, 2018) — Tonight, the organizations and individuals behind CodeIsFreeSpeech.com, a new Web site for the publication and sharing of firearm-related speech, including machine code, have issued the following statement:

Our Constitution’s First Amendment secures the right of all people to engage in truthful speech, including by sharing information contained in books, paintings, and files. Indeed, freedom of speech is a bedrock principle of our United States and a cornerstone of our democratic Republic. Through CodeIsFreeSpeech.com, we intend to encourage people to consider new and different aspects of our nation’s marketplace of ideas – even if some government officials disagree with our views or dislike our content – because information is code, code is free speech, and free speech is freedom.

Should any tyrants wish to chill or infringe the rights of the People, we would welcome the opportunity to defend freedom whenever, wherever, and however necessary. Hand-waving and hyperbole are not compelling government interests and censorship is not proper tailoring under the law.

There is no doubt that Cody Wilson and Defense Distributed have inspired countless Americans to exercise their fundamental, individual rights, including through home gunsmithing. Through CodeIsFreeSpeech.com, we hope to promote the collection and dissemination of truthful, non-misleading speech, new and evolving ideas, and the advancement of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

It sure would be cool to have a lathe and mill to do something like that.

I wonder how many hours it took, start to finish?

This imo is all about the #1a, if sharing info on printing or machining can be censored, what other info can be aswell?

7 Things You Need to know About 3-D Guns

3d gun 2This past week has been a tornado of activity, in the media and in the courts, as politicians and the media have lost their minds over the news that the U.S. government agreed to settle a lawsuit by Cody Wilson and his company, Defense Distributed, (along with the Second Amendment Foundation). The agreement said that Wilson could publish files on the internet. HORRORS! Actual information on the web. But, the info is designs and files which allow someone to use a 3-D printer or CNC machine to make a firearm.

I've covered this on the radio, and will have all the latest this Sunday (and there is a LOT of news), but here are the key things to know.

Would it be a good idea for as many people a possible to download the files so the information is always out there somewhere?

That's awesome!

I wonder how long it's going to take the Left to call for banning "terrorist manual" sites. :doh:
