    If by SCOTUS you mean Trump, then he did say it was okay.

    in 2015 Defense Distributed sued the government for the right to sell their blueprints for their 3d printable guns. They lost in the federal courts and their appeal failed under the ruling that it was a violation of current firearm export laws.

    In 2018 the Trump administration settled with Defense Distributed and allowed them to share their blueprints as well as giving them $40,000 in compensation for previous legal fees. Side note: The founder of Defense Distributed left 3 months after the payment and was then arrested in Taiwan after having sex with an underage minor in Texas.

    in 2019 the attorney general filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration and the federal courts reversed the Trump decision once again making it illegal to share files without a license.

    As far as I am aware, I am not aware of any changes since then.

        Trump Derangement Syndrome?

        I’m literally giving evidence AGAINST the things the lunatic tried to put into effect as well as pointing out slightly irrelevant information about that fact that one of the people he directly helped was a child molester and rapist. In what way did I come across as a worshiper of Trump?

        The previous commenter mentioned SCOTUS and the only SCOTUS (that I am aware of) that was touched anything related to 3D printed firearms is Trump. That’s the only reason he got brought up.
