Topic: "Does it violate federal export law if a website publishes CAD files of firearms

I've been following this legal nightmare since the beginning, and I'm actually quite surprised there isn't a movie yet. Like the article says, at worst a hefty fine will be imposed. It's already on the internet and numerous revisions have already occurred making it stronger and longer lasting since DD pulled the CAD files offline.
