The State of California just filed a civil suit against two websites that host 3D printing files for guns and related accessories, as well as guides and instructions on how to use them. It also named three individuals in the case: Alexander Holladay, who’s known for running the CTRL+Pew website; gun rights attorney and 3D-printed gun designer Matthew Larosiere; and 3D-printed gunmaker John Elik, more popularly known online as “IvanTheTroll.”
While this is only a civil suit, meaning no one will be imprisoned regardless of the outcome, 3D Printing Industry reports that they’re being slapped with violations of California Civil Code sections 3273.61 and 3273.625, both of which took effect this year.
