For those in the US with a combined interest in 3D-Printers, intersections of the 1st and 2nd Amendments, and legal precedents; Cody Wilson has been fighting the US Government for half a decade.
Short version: after Wilson uploaded his 3D pistol plans to his site, over 100,000 people downloaded it - this drew the attention of the US authorities, who tried to use the International Trade in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to force a take-down.
The authorities argued that by posting the 3D printer plans for a firearm, Mr. Wilson was effectively exporting firearms, and subject to federal regulation. Eventually the Department of Justice dropped the case, paving the way for DIY'ers to publish such things freely.
The article cites 'promises' made by DoJ to move the regulations to another department.

IKR! I have mod points, and I am reading the first paragraph thinking "oh, that's a good point, history is repeating itself." Then the second paragraph comes along and I had to read it 3 times because the word "Jews" makes no sense whatsoever in this context. I thought it was a misspelling so I'm trying to figure out what word he meant. Then I am thinking "maybe it was a voice to text thing and Siri screwed up." It was confusing as heck! It's like if you were sitting in class and your math teacher was says "Okay class: First you add the ones digits to get 12, then you carry the 1, then the Jews steal your life, then you add..." I kinda want to try reposting the comment but without the racist garbage, and see if I get modded up.

It's jmorris. It's just what jmorris does.
I am at times tempted to mod him up too, but inevitably the next sentence comes and there's some wacko thing about Jews. Every single time.

Look at the ownership of all of the major media companies. Not most. All of them. Then look at the news business in particular. This isn't an imageboard but those damning JPGs for CNN, NBC, NYT, FOX and NPR are widely available. Every news organization is run by, staffed by and generally dominated by Jews at concentrations so far above their representation in the population that there is zero chance of it being a coincidence.
Just as an example, from the one that got the creator doxxed by CNN, lets take a look at CNN. At the time the infamous image was created:
Jewish President and majority of the C-level leadership are Jewish at the parent Warner.
The President of CNN is Jewish as is the Vice President and a majority of the Executive Vice Presidents.
Moving to on screen talent the Lead Political Anchor, Chief Political Correspondent, Chief Political Analyst, Chief Political Director, Chief National Correspondent and Chief Washington Correspondent are all Jewish. A majority of the shows, at least thirteen, are hosted by Jews.
Lets broaden to the flagship Sunday Morning shows
NBC: Meet the Press with Chuck Todd (Jew)
ABC: This Week with George Stephanopoulos (Not Jewish, he has the job because he is a Clinton Minion) and co-host Martha Radditz (Jew)
CBS: Face the Nation with a recent change to Margaret Brennan who provides the exception to the rule. Just for extra diversity she is a Muslim convert. And she is a paid up member of the CFR so her Globalist bonafides are sound.
FOX: Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace (Jew)
FNC: Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo (Married to a Jew)
CNN: State of the Union with Jake Tapper (Jew)
And while we are noticing things, notice how they are all so ideologically similar. All were unquestionably "With Her" but Martha is the only one seen crying on air the night HRC went down to defeat.... You say Maria is on FNC so not her? Oh yea, she is a huge donor to the Clinton Foundation and worse.
The same pattern repeats with monotonous regularity across the rest of the cable dial. And in broadcast, print publishing, the music industry, film, etc. Not just any Jews mind ya, a very specific sort. Not the religious type, the secular Bolshevik sort.

Don't obsess over the jews, look at the pattern of unscrupulous, overweight, white men in positions of power *everywhere*, not just the media.

Only when Quantum Jews are in the "White" state. :)
You see "Jew" is a Quantum state of being, it can be a religion, a race, an ethnic background, a culture or many Jews can be "White" as needed. This is very handy for when they want to pontificate about "their fellow white people" and what "we" should do to hasten "our" passage from the Earth.

He's a troll, like EF but somehow even LESS self-aware. I'm often tempted to write a browser plugin for soylentnews which removes all posts from certain users from the page. Never read dumb shit again! Implement your own filters to keep out the necro-troll, etc.
