×Defcad, a website for 3D-printed gun blueprints, is back online
Tech
Positioned as a defense of personal freedoms, the site enables people in the U.S. to download designs for deadly weapons and freely share them.

Defcad makes thousands of downloadable blueprints for 3D-printable guns available online for a $50 yearly subscription fee. One of the company's directors, Cody Wilson, calls the company "Netflix for 3D guns.
" Back in 2013, Defcad was forced to shut down by the U.S. State Department, which was worried about foreign nationals downloading the blueprints. But now, after a seven-year hiatus, the Wall Street Journal reports Defcad is back online, and taking it down is going to be hard.
In fact, Wilson believes it's going to be nearly impossible to challenge his site's right to exist because he's now vetting would-be downloaders to ensure he complies with the legislation around both exports and firearms. While his measures might appease lawmakers, they do nothing to prevent the sharing of blueprints for what amount to untraceable weapons that sidestep many of the key checks and measures intended to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't own them in the first place.
Skirting the law, one measure at a time — When Wilson first started Defcad back in 2012, the site was open to the public. Anyone at all could simply type in the URL and browse a variety of gun designs for download.
Wilson says he doesn’t expect the designs to be used for actual gun-making. Instead, says he sees the site as a form of resistance against limits on personal freedoms.
After a lengthy period of deliberation, the State Department’s original case against Defcad was based upon export control regulations, because the designs could be downloaded by anyone online, including people outside the U.S. In 2018, after five years of legal wrangling, the export law was amended to allow the files to be posted. A group of 19 state attorneys quickly brought another suit against Defcad, calling the project a mission “to arm every citizen outside of the government’s traditional control mechanism.”

It’s only a matter of time until this escalates again — In its latest iteration, the site is operating again with four levels of security. Everyone who wishes to access Defcad's design files will be subject to IP geolocation and proxy checks, among other technologies that are usually used by credit bureaus to verify location and identity.
It’s the first time Defcad has used that sort of compliance software.
However, these checks are not enough to keep the gun designs from being distributed more widely. The files themselves are not protected — once downloaded, they can be shared without consequence. Wilson concedes he can only tell people sharing the files is illegal, but has no way of preventing them doing so.
Like torrents, but for guns — This is very similar to the way in which torrenting websites are able to stay online despite copyright laws. Torrent websites aren't themselves infringing copyright — they're a conduit for others to do so. Except that, in this case, improper use of shared files could lead to fatal consequences, rather than diminished movie theater attendance.
Plastic guns created by 3D printing methods can be just as deadly as traditional guns, and in some senses they’re even more dangerous because they can’t be tracked, so it’s unlikely Wilson’s latest attempt at reviving Defcad will go unchallenged by the law.
What may be needed are amendments around the sorts of files people are allowed to share, though that's a thorny issue and one that spills over from Second Amendment rights into First Amendment ones. Nonetheless, anything but a firm and unambiguous stance on the issue could prove deadly.
This post was updated to clarify that, as dystopic as it is, making guns at home is actually legal under federal law.

Europol fears proliferation of 3D printed weapons
According to the European Police Office, 3D printed weapons could become a serious threat in the near future due to the rapid development of technology. The first such model was made in the USA in 2013, and since then people have been dying from weapons that can be made at home. Technology is taking the problem of unaccounted weapons to a new level, experts say.
“Due to the rapid development of technology, 3D printed weapons could become a serious threat in the near future,” Europol said.
nine0003
In recent months, raids and searches by European authorities have increasingly turned up firearms made in whole or in part using the aforementioned method, which is dangerous in many respects.
On the one hand, now the price of 3D printers is significant, so it is already cost-effective to produce such weapons, and on the other hand, this does not require any registrations, production numbers, so the authorities cannot track manufacturers at all. nine0003
In addition, weapons are not detected by metal detectors, so they can, for example, be easily smuggled anywhere. In one case, for example, journalists successfully entered the Israeli parliament's security system as an experiment to watch a speech by then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a 3D printed gun in his bag.
In September, four people were arrested in Iceland on terrorism charges, and searches revealed several semi-automatic weapons containing 3D printed parts.
In Spain, too, there have been reports of the liquidation of illegal "arms factories" where 3D printers have always been found. In early October, the largest stockpile of 3D printed gun parts was discovered at a factory in London, and British authorities have warned of the growing danger this entails. nine0003
The first weapon, called the "Liberator", consisting almost entirely of 3D printed parts, except for the fuse and cartridge, was made in the USA in 2013, and its design was immediately leaked to the Internet. Since then, countless users have been creating similar weapons, blueprints, and posting them on various social media sites that anyone can download and make at home with the proper technology. At first, all this could only be achieved using industrial 3D printers, however, due to the development of technology, today a simple model is enough for this. nine0003
Social networks and Internet platforms are trying to remove these users, limit their access, but they are not keeping up.
What is known about the effectiveness of such weapons at this time? In 2019, in the German city of Halle, a man killed two people and wounded two more with homemade weapons that included 3D printed parts. The footage of the attack shows that the weapon jammed several times. In the first test, the Liberator burst after the tenth shot. Due to the plastic parts, these weapons cannot withstand the heat generated when using them, so illegal manufacturers make only parts for which this aspect is less important on a 3D printer. nine0003
While experts in Europe are unanimous that there is currently no need to fear that terrorists and criminals will turn to 3D printed weapons, this could change dramatically in the next decade. In a few years, 3D printing of metals will also become available to ordinary people, which will make homemade weapons more durable and reliable, and then this will also become a big problem.

Another 11 US states have filed lawsuits against the administration of Donald Trump. They are asking for a final ban on the distribution of blueprints for 3D printed weapons

Another 11 US states are suing the Trump administration over the forthcoming publication of 3D printed weapon drawings online. According to Reuters, we are talking about the states of California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia.
Plaintiffs allege that the release of the blueprints will allow criminals easy access to weapons. In their lawsuits, they demand a final ban on the distribution of such drawings.
nine0003
In the meantime, the United States has a temporary ban on the publication of weapon blueprints for printing on 3D printers on the Internet. The decision was made last Tuesday a few hours before the official publication of the drawings on the Internet.
We are talking about the materials of the organization Defense Distributed. She previously announced that on August 1 she would publish drawings for making weapons using 3D printers on the Web. This happened after the organization obtained permission from the US authorities in June to distribute such drawings. However, the publication began a little earlier than the official deadline, and many managed to download the drawings. This was the reason for filing lawsuits from eight states and the District of Columbia against Defense Distributed itself, as well as the Trump administration. nine0003
Following a court ruling temporarily blocking the publication of blueprints, Defense Distributed removed them from the internet.
