    Great… can’t wait for politicians to use this as a way to pass “common sense” legislation banning 3D printers.

      You don’t need to ban 3D printers. Restrictions and licensing requirements for making, using, owning rockets and guidance software are enough.

        This already would fall under an FFL for legal citizens anyway. As is the nature of the internet though, this open design will be preserved and available for those who seek it.

          Being in that category just prevents it from being sold. It’s not illegal federally to build your own weapon without a FFL.

            Is that the same rule for destructive devices? Genuinely curious - I know privately made firearms have different rules.

              No, for a destructive device you have to file a form 1.
