Two brave bloggers (Joel Huffmann and Rob Allen) have posted it. I join them.
Molon labe.
As Tech Crunch reports, “the State Department has demanded that new blueprints for a fully 3-D-printed gun be taken offline just a week after they were posted. The Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance is forcing outspoken Second Amendment crusader Cody Wilson to remove the downloadable 3-D printer files from Defcad.org under expert laws known as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).”
"You can't stop the signal, Mal. Everything goes somewhere, and I go everywhere." --Mr. Universe, Serenity (movie)
Note: I have posted these files as an act of free speech, and I claim my 1st Amendment rights to do so.
I am not a lawyer, but this is what I understand: If you use these files, and you are not a Special Occupational Taxpayer, make these only for yourself, not for sale or trade. And if you do, include a metal part (the firing pin) as DefCAD recommends, or you will be in violation of the (unconstitutional) Federal law against "undetectable firearms." In fact, I recommend you paint your 3D printed guns with shiny metal paint, just so this stupid "undetectable" talking point is completely defeated.
Here is a link to the US BATFE regs on making your own firearm, 3-D-printed or otherwise. Thousands of us have made our own firearms before. The plans have been on the Internet for years. Why now? Because they're skeered, that's why.

Chris Muir gets the final word, as lovely Sam downloads the pistol files (URL in the comic!):
