Senators’ Letter to YouTube Highlights Weakness of US Government’s Stance on 3D Printed Guns - 3DPrint.com
On February 15, a group of five Democratic senators sent a letter to YouTube’s CEO, Susan Wojcicki, urging her to step up the site’s efforts to ban videos that instruct viewers on methods for producing so-called “ghost guns.” The group included both senators representing Connecticut (Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy), New Jersey (Corey Booker and Robert Melendez), and Ed Markey of Massachusetts. Followers of 3D printing news have, of course, long been familiar with the controversy surrounding ghost guns, which are untraceable firearms––including 3D printed guns––that can be bought online or built at home.
Image courtesy of U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF).A couple of weeks before the senators’ letter-writing, President Biden emphasized that the federal government would continue to increase its attempts to regulate ghost guns while speaking alongside NYC mayor Eric Adams at an event hosted by the New York Police Department (NYPD). Touting a plan the administration is calling the “National Ghost Gun Enforcement Initiative,” the president said: “If you commit a crime with a ghost gun, not only are state and local prosecutors going to come after you but expect federal charges and federal prosecution as well.”
Aside from threatening more severe sentencing for those convicted of crimes involving ghost guns, the U.S. Department of Justice’s initiative also includes language that would create a “ghost-gun coordinator” position for every field division of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). According to an article published in Forbes the day after Biden’s joint event with Mayor Adams, Christian Heyne, the vice president of the nonprofit gun-control group Brady United, said the Biden Administration’s plan would train a “cadre of prosecutors on enforcement issues, specifically around the use of ghost guns and crimes.” In the same article, the self-described inventor of the 3D printed ghost gun Cody Wilson was described as “unfazed” by the president’s proposals and rhetoric: referring to his sale of “50 to 55 [ghost guns] a week”, Wilson said he “expect[s] that to keep going.
”
Wilson is an annoying, self-aggrandizing charlatan, but he seems fitting to be unworried by the federal government’s latest claims that it’s serious about finally doing something about gun control. Additionally, it’s hard to disagree that even with someone as unlikable as Wilson, the government has any leg to stand on in terms of expressing moral outrage against gun violence. It shouldn’t be surprising, but it’s nevertheless worth pointing out that in 2008, while campaigning for Barack Obama, Joe Biden drummed up his credentials to “the center” by saying, “I guarantee you, Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns, so don’t buy that malarkey…I got two; if he tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem.”
Aside from this typical microaggression against candor, there’s a much larger issue that it’s impossible to take seriously moral outrage against industrialized violence when the source is the U.S. federal government. It’s particularly ironic in this case, for instance, that, thanks mainly to the U.
S. government, the trajectory of the 3D printing field is to become evermore-increasingly a part of the military-industrial complex. Demanding YouTube ban instructional videos — or rather, to start enforcing bans that YouTube has had on the books for several years now—is more of this same type of hollow, feeble attempt to act like something is being done.
Vows to “ban the internet” never work and make the individuals who make such vows look silly and out of touch with how the internet works. People shouldn’t be blamed, then, for assuming the government’s agenda is more about protecting the government and corporate America’s monopoly on violence than it is about protecting people from the admittedly real and senseless damage Americans do to each other with guns. This isn’t to say that the government shouldn’t regulate firearm sales. It’s simply to say that starting another campaign that’s doomed to fail, like the one against ghost guns, will probably make it even harder for the government to succeed at gun control eventually.

Plans for 3D-Printed Guns Are Still Accessible on Twitter and YouTube
Approximately two hours after publication, YouTube banned Ivan The Troll's account and a spokesperson provided comment: "We have strict policies that prohibit videos containing instructions on how to manufacture firearms, including 3D-printed guns. We quickly remove videos violating our policies when flagged by our users.“
Twitter says it bans the promotion of blueprints for 3D-printable weapons. YouTube’s policy explicitly prohibits videos that demonstrate how to make firearms.
Despite these public proclamations, a review by The Trace finds that users on both social media platforms are freely distributing designs and instructions for assembling so-called ghost guns with few repercussions.
Among the accounts we found were users — some with thousands of followers — sharing the files to make a multitude of firearms and accessories, including magnums, AR-15s, Glocks, and bump stocks. A few of these Twitter posts have been retweeted or liked nearly 300 times. Some videos on YouTube have millions of views.
Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey has pushed social media platforms to take more action against users sharing designs for DIY firearms. “It’s an unacceptable abdication of their responsibility,” he said of the platforms.
In an open letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in April, Menendez urged the company to block the distribution of 3D-printable gun blueprints. He singled out a user who went by the handle @IvanTheTroll12, who had been brought to the senator’s attention by his staff.
In an interview with Ivan (he did not want to reveal his real name), he confirmed to The Trace that he has been posting gun blueprints to various social media platforms for several months. Ivan identified himself as a libertarian who supports gun rights and opposes any effort to restrict the free distribution of information.
On April 12, over a month after Menendez’s letter, Twitter suspended Ivan’s handle, @IvanTheTroll12. A week later on April 19, Ivan reappeared under a new account name, which he has used to continue sharing more gun design files and is still active at the time of publication.
On April 29, over two months after the senator’s missive, Twitter sent Menendez what appears to be a form letter, in which the social media company said that the original Ivan account had been permanently removed. The company cited a corporate policy prohibiting the promotion of 3D gun printing on its site. But according to the text on Twitter’s website the company quoted from, that policy only applies to “Twitter’s paid advertising products,” not general users.
The company’s letter said further that a “closer review” revealed Ivan’s account was disabled for “evading an account suspension.”
View note
“It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Ivan the Troll would end up opening a new account under another name,” Menendez said. “Social media platforms, which we applaud for allowing the public forum to take place, need to do self policing to ensure that public safety is preserved.”
In response to a list of questions concerning Ivan’s ban and Twitter’s policy on sharing 3D-printed gun files, a Twitter spokesperson pointed to a company policy separate from the rationale given to Menendez. “Accounts sharing 3D-printed gun designs are in violation of the Twitter Rules’ unlawful use policy,” the spokesperson wrote in an email, and pointed to the specific line from the company’s site: “You may not use our service for any unlawful purposes or in furtherance of illegal activities.”
New Jersey and California are the only states with laws prohibiting the distribution of guns and gun designs that lack serial numbers and are therefore untraceable by law enforcement.
Federal policy on the issue remains murky and subject to ongoing litigation. The Justice Department under President Donald Trump reversed Obama-era guidance and allowed an infamous distributor of online weapons blueprints, Defense Distributed, to publish 3D-printed gun files on First Amendment grounds. But in August of last year, a judge indefinitely blocked the company from publishing the files.
With the law on sharing gun files across jurisdictions remaining unsettled, Menendez said he believes social media platforms should take a more active role in keeping the files off their networks.
Last year, he was one of five senators who signed an open letter urging Twitter, Facebook, Google (YouTube’s parent company), Microsoft, Reddit and other tech firms to prevent 3D gun blueprints from circulating.
For his part, Ivan said he believes that nothing in the company’s rules or terms of service prevents the sharing of gun plans. He said that when his account was temporarily suspended, it was not for anything related to gun plans, but for a separate instance of “hateful conduct.
” He says Twitter has not cited a specific tweet to justify its decision to bar his former handle.
“Twitter is a private company, so they can do as they please,” Ivan said. “The shady way in which they are doing it isn’t acceptable, however. Just come out and say you oppose this aspect of free speech if that’s the line you want to take.”
Ivan is also linking to his gun plans and hosting videos that show how to assemble the printed parts on YouTube. Unlike Twitter, the policy for Google’s streaming video platform explicitly prohibits content with the purpose of instructing viewers on how to make firearms.
Ivan is not alone in flouting YouTube’s policy. The user “Guy in a garage” has a video showing the assembly of a 3D-printed magnum with over 3,000,000 views. Another, “derwoodvw,” demonstrates a printed MP1 with links to design files.
On Twitter, the user @fosscad has over 3,000 followers and is openly sharing gun plans for AR-15s, Glocks, and AP-9s. The user @FreeSpeech5You boasts in one post, “Download A bump stock, an AR15, a 30 round mag – it’s all here baby.
” Both refer followers to files hosted on the popular computer coding platform GitHub, a subsidiary of Microsoft. The files contain designs for grenades, ammunition, and firearm accessories. There is no language explicitly barring 3D-printed gun plans in GitHub’s terms of service.
GitHub did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Other platforms have clearer policies in place forbidding or discouraging the distribution of gun blueprints. Facebook has an outright ban. And while Reddit is allowing its users to talk about Ivan’s 3D printed guns, the website is actively monitoring the discussion to ensure that overt links to Ivan’s designs are not shared.
“Let’s keep it to discussion in here and not sharing scary files so that we stay on the happy (and not banned) side of Reddit,” wrote one of the moderators in a subreddit thread about 3D-print ghost guns.
3D Printer Pistols are Back and Unstoppable / Sudo Null IT News They anonymously share drawings, tips, and create their own community.
And there is no easy way to stop them. In the United States, a network of supporters of printing weapons on a 3D printer is growing again - but now everything is different. Unlike previous attempts to popularize weapons that can be printed on a 3D printer, this operation is completely decentralized. It has no headquarters, no trademarks and no leader. And the people behind it believe that this state of affairs guarantees the inability of governments to stop them.
“If they want to come after me, they'll have to find me first,” says Ivan the Troll, a member of the group. “I am one of many like-minded people doing this work.”
The troll Ivan is known only by his network pseudonym, and is the de facto representative of an underground organization of gunsmiths working on 3D printers. Ivan says he knows at least 100 people actively developing weapon 3D printing technology, and claims that thousands of people are involved in the network.
And this loosely connected network spans the entire world.
They communicate on different digital platforms - Signal, Twitter, IRC and Discord. They critique each other's work, trade weapon CAD files, give advice, talk theory, and collaborate on new blueprints. Enthusiasts of printed guns - who share similar ideas and political views on gun control - mostly meet on subreddits and forums dedicated to this topic.
Ivan himself is only a small part of this network. He says he comes from Illinois and is about the age of a "college student," but otherwise keeps quiet about himself to keep his head down. In doing so, he launched some amazing commercials showing off new handgun parts he printed out in his garage, including the Glock 17 pistol frame.0006
On the last video [ , the video is deleted from YouTube, but the videos can be found on other hostings / approx. transl. ] shows the Glock 17 resin frame in various stages of production in the workshop. The footage is sounded with fast synthwave music, and passed through a VHS filter for greater aesthetics.
By the end of the video, Ivan fires several shots from a ready-made pistol, and the captions that appear at the same time read: "Anyone can do this", "Live free or die", "Let's try to stop this, you dirty etatists." He also uploaded a complete CAD model of the AR-15 assault rifle to a file sharing site. It is clear that Ivan is trying to provoke his detractors to the maximum.
In February of this year, Ivan and his group decided to call themselves "Distributed Deterrence" transl. ], which is an allusion to the name of the company Defense Distributed [distributed protection], which was previously headed by Texas crypto-anarchist Cody Wilson.
In September 2018, Wilson, aged 30, was arrested and charged with sexually abusing a minor. He allegedly paid $500 for sex with a 16-year-old girl in his hometown of Austin, Texas. Naturally, this arrest took Wilson completely out of the world of 3D printed guns. Many of the people who admired him were either disgusted or realized that his time had passed.
He retired from Defense Distributed, which used to be the main driver behind 3D weapon printing, since its inception in 2012. Wilson was released on $150,000 bail, but hasn't been in touch since.
Defense Distributed has many other legal issues. Attorneys in more than 20 US states are currently suing the company - which has filed counterclaims - in an attempt to undo the company's win in court that allowed the company to upload and share 3D weapon blueprints online. All these processes are long and tedious (New York State just passed a law to ban 3D printed weapons).
But for Ivan's group, Deterrence Dispensed, none of that matters. They upload their files singly to services like Spee.ch, a media hosting site powered by the LBRY blockchain, without waiting for anyone's permission. They themselves make blueprints for printing weapons, tweak old ones, and distribute all blueprints from Defense Distributed for free.
“Even if no government forbade me to do this, I think I would still do it,” says Ivan.
“Some people enjoy video games, but I like to spend time drawing things in CAD.”
But Ivan doesn't just "draw things" in CAD. He's giving away files for free to help anyone with a decent Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printer and certain tools build a working gun. Once the CAD file is downloaded, it is opened in a slicing program that translates the CAD files into instructions that the 3D printer can understand. After the parts are ready, they can be assembled, getting a fully working weapon.
The blueprints that Deterrence Dispensed shares with the world are so good, according to Ivan, that they are not just "working", they are of excellent quality. “Our AR15 model is the best available to the public without a doubt,” says Ivan.
Despite active antagonism with the authorities, Ivan has had no problems with them so far. His Twitter account was permanently shut down by Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, but so far, from the point of view of law enforcement and government, all has been quiet.
Ivan considers himself and other radical gun printing groups like FOSSCAD to be hobbyists who want to do something “wrong”. He believes that the problems of 3D printing weapons are overblown. He points out that while printable gun parts can be used to kill people, homemade guns have always existed and are probably more lethal. From his point of view, all this hysteria and backlash is directed to the wrong address.
"Trust me as a gun maker. A semi-automatic shotgun is 100 times easier, faster and cheaper to make than a regular pistol. I can go to Home Depot and buy a shotgun for $8."
In 2019, 156 people have already died in mass shootings in the United States, and in principle, the number of deaths related to weapons is a 20-year high. In March, a terrorist armed with two semi-automatic rifles and two shotguns killed 51 Muslims in Christchurch, New Zealand. Does the US (and the rest of the world) need more weapons in these circumstances, homemade, printed or otherwise? Ivan thinks so.
“The police killed more people last year than were killed in all the mass shootings in the last 10 years,” he says. “We in America live in a society where there is always the risk that a cop will shoot your ass off for nothing. And you don't even have to pose a threat to him. A cop can kill you just because he wants to, and he can get away with it."
He cited numerous examples of policemen shooting at unarmed black Americans, especially Steven Clarke. Clark, 22, was shot and killed by police in his garden with only his cell phone in hand. “I think it’s extremely important that everyone has the opportunity to have a gun,” Ivan continued. “Everyone should have the same legal options as the cops using them to control you.”
However, the facts are undeniable. Slightly more than half of deaths from firearms occur in six countries, incl. in the USA. And analysis from Harvard University shows that the more guns there are, the more murders there are.
Opponents of weapons, of course, are not satisfied with the concept of a downloadable pistol.
Avery Gardiner, one of the presidents of the Brady Campaign, said that 3D-printed weapons "pose the greatest threat to our security." Following the court ruling in August, Gardiner said, "There is already a wave of dangerous individuals trying to illegally post blueprints on the Internet."
Members of this decentralized 3D printed weapon society are often motivated by a mixture of libertarian views and the pleasure of designing and creating tangible items as a hobby. They upload drawings to the Internet, share them, improve diagrams and make it easier to print, while remaining out of sight. Ivan states that he does this for the love of freedom and radical adherence to the first two amendments to the US Constitution: freedom of speech and freedom to bear arms.
However, his radicality goes as far as to talk about the right to have his own Tomahawk-class missiles, saying that they would be safer in his hands than in the hands of the US Army and its allies - given the history of accidental killing of civilians by the military, including a wedding in Afghanistan and a school bus in Yemen.
Describing the growing list of civilians who died at the hands of the US military in foreign wars, Ivan often comes across as more of a radical leftist than the right-wing gun fanatic that many think he is. However, he rejects any particular ideology, saying, "I myself am special and unique."
So far, Troll Ivan, Deterrence Dispensed and thousands of 3D weapon printing enthusiasts, united by a worldwide network, have let the genie out of the bottle. Unable to stop anonymous file sharing for weapon 3D printing. Whether they are hiding behind freedom in the process or not, one thing is clear: it is too late to stop them.
