NOTE: This is a controversial topic. I feel it touches the community because of the 3D printing aspect. Plus we should all care about free speech.
The state that held the first constitutional congress in 1775, Pennsylvania has went to court to ban anyone in their state
from downloading a 3D model of a gun to print.

On PBS the PA State Attorney General stated that you could print one of these guns on the $140 printer that the Philadelphia school system has .
As a person who works on blueprints and electronic drawings all day long This is outrageous and totally untrue.
On top of that how useful is a plastic gun. Look at Glock. You have to have a metal barrel. Period. End of Story.
This Attorney General has got a Federal Judge to require that no IP's from the state of Pennsylvania be allowed to download these documents.
I never thought in a Million Years that technical drawing would become illegal in the USA. Isn't a 3D Model a technical drawing in electronic form?
Free speech is no longer a constitutional right? How is this not free speech? This is not some Top Secret nuclear plans.
There are people out there that have no idea what manufacturing products involves.
PBS doling out Fake news. I challenge anyone to prove that you can print a gun on a $140 3D printer.
I couldn't make a 3D printer out of parts for $140 that would produce a gun. PERIOD.
