Abstract

In 2013, Cody Wilson, a self-described anarchist, made headlines when he posted plans for a 3D printable pistol called “The Liberator” online. The state department intervened and shut down the site, but not before the plans for the weapon were downloaded over a million times. Wilson promptly sued the government. This week, the government reached a settlement with Wilson. The settlement is quite favorable to Wilson and other gun rights advocates—it allows Wilson and others to proceed with their mission to post the instructions online.
