So much for the judge's order: http://codeisfreespeech.com

Might be kind of cool to 3D print one out of clear plastic, so you can see how all the parts work together. Like the old "Visible V-8" plastic models.
Cody Wilson's original instructions that were part of the Liberators original data package instructed the builder to only print the receiver and to not print any other part of the gun until the steel block had been epoxied into the receiver and the epoxy cured. The picture above is technically illegal as pictured above if an ATF agent wanted to get mean about it. That appears to be all the parts assembled minus the steel block. Whether the firing pin is or is not there (tough to see in that part of the Liberator) would not matter to the undetectable firearm law.Or just unfinished/incomplete.
3-D printed gun ban extended by judge pending state challenge
By Christopher Carbone, James Rogers | Fox News
A judge in Seattle extended a ban on publishing instructions for 3-D printed guns during state litigation over the controversial practice, handing a procedural victory to gun-control advocates.
The ruling, handed down in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, marks the latest chapter in the ongoing battle over 3D-printed weapons.
Yep. The State Department is allowed to say what is and is not a Munition under ITAR. The process of removing normal firearms under 50 cal (excluding silencers, very high cap mags/drums, and caseless ammo designs) started under the Obama administration. Anyone other than Defense Distributed are free to publish plans with no fear of a foreigner downloading them (the only legal issue in the original case--the plans themselves or American's access to them was never illegal). The prior restraint against D.D. (not backed by any law) is going to have a very high burden.They have already lost. What we are seeing play out in the news and social media is simply the government deciding how much of our tax dollars they want to waste before they accept that they have lost.
You seem to be assuming that it was made inside the US and not of X-Ray dense (such as boron doped) polymer.Cody Wilson's original instructions that were part of the Liberators original data package instructed the builder to only print the receiver and to not print any other part of the gun until the steel block had been epoxied into the receiver and the epoxy cured.

Being made outside the US would be the most likely (assuming they did not have similar legislation). After a quick search I believe the image in question was taken in Canada.You seem to be assuming that it was made inside the US and not of X-Ray dense (such as boron doped) polymer.
