Everyone thought this was exciting and going to happen. Hate to tell the GOV that the GENIE is out of the bottle no matter what you want to do. Over 70,000 of these files have been downloaded. The problem is people are good and bad. Don't be surprised when criminals and terrorists use these files as well. Canada is FUBAR because it's illegal already to own a hand gun without rigorous background checks and courses and licenses.

No surprise that crime rates in Toronto alone equal some of the worst US cities, but the public still thinks it's... GUNS

Defense Distributed is a non-profit, private defense firm principally engaged in the research, design, development, and manufacture of products and services for the benefit of the American rifleman. Since 2012, DD has been headquartered in Austin, Texas.

August 1st Arrived and..

This site, after legally committing its files to the public domain through a license from the U.S. Department of State, has been ordered shut down by a federal judge in the Western District of Washington.

SURPRISE SURPRISE...

now if steemit can live up to it's name, perhaps mirror sites will be posted so non-aggressive, peaceful people can download these files. Once the genie is out, it's hard to put back in. Those that want the files will probably NOT be of good character.. but some of us just want to protect our asses!

I want these files and I'm of good character.
You're right, they can't keep this shut down now.
Plus there's always the Dark Web right?
this is good news even tho some bad guys will use it.
I love it when the government can't control things that it want to control.

It's bad when you are from Canada. The citizens and politicians think most people are good, and guns bad. They are dumber than shit over here and we are turning into Europe faster than you can say Jihad.

my impressions exactly sirbearbear. well, not that everyone is stupid but they are somehow blind to the truth. They probably think Americans are blood thirsty maniacs when all we want is liberty and freedom.
The European style transformation is alarming, I can't comprehend it.

Most Americans are dumber than shit as well (I'm also American.. not just Canadian). Half the country is fractured. 3/4 of Canada is already under-way to becoming Canadistan

yes sir I agree. clueless and don't care to care.
What's depressing is that there doesn't seem to be many
options. Get involved in politics but no matter who is in office things
keep sliding toward socialism.

Would you expect government to have their act together. People kill people guns are only one of many tools
