This is so great. I and a bunch of other bloggers published the 3D files for guns on our sites, daring the Obama commies to come after us, knowing that this case would eventually be won. Thank God sanity has prevailed. Ding Dong, the wicked, dope-smoking witch Obama is GONE!

FANTASTIC news! Now anyone with a computer, some basic equipment and some basic supplies can build a firearm - which means that there can NEVER be a confiscation that works.

Now all that DD and others need to do is get the quality level up to somewhere near what conventional gun manufacturers have, and we’ll be cooking with gas.

I could not think of a better result for both the 1st and 2nd Amendments - which is to say, I couldn’t think of a more freedom-oriented result. Thanks to DD and SAF for fighting our evil overlords on this issue!!!

This is a very big deal. Not only is this a big win for free speech, but for the Second Amendment as well.

In addition, export of firearms (and presumably, import) will now fall under the Commerce Department, not the State Department.

A very big deal.

So I figured I'd better get on their site and download the software before some other action is taken to prevent it. Here is what I got:

This page (https://defdist.org/) is currently offline. However, because the site uses Cloudflare's Always Online™ technology you can continue to surf a snapshot of the site. We will keep checking in the background and, as soon as the site comes back, you will automatically be served the live version.

It took about 5 tries to get the site to come up and then it was so slow as to be useless. This suggests that either their bandwidth or servers are being overwhelmed or someone (I can't imagine who) is blocking their traffic

Has anyone here built a gun with Ghost Gunner or similar projects? FReepmail if you don’t want to be public. I am curious what were the results and would you use them again. And the difficulty level. Mostly curious about 80% build ups of AR-10.
