A company connected to Cody Wilson is selling 3D printed gun files over the internet to approved residents of the US, reports the Wall Street Journal.
Wilson, the founder of Defense Distributed, has been waging a legal battle for years now, in an attempt to give everyone the ability to print their own guns.
(You can read all about this conflict between the law and companies like Defense Distributed in our roundup on 3D printed guns news.)
His latest attempt is through Defcad, which calls itself a “repository for small arms technical data,” and of which he is a director.
“We invite you to share original and legacy firearms models, CAD/CAM data, blueprints and drawings,” reads the site.
Users can pay a yearly fee of $50 to access the files, which they are also welcome to upload themselves.
On Defcad’s website, they also write that their “files and other hardware are not currently available to persons outside the United States and are only available to residents of and persons in the State of New Jersey who possess a federal firearms license.”
However, it’s not clear that this will protect them from a legal challenge.
