Mark Herring is anti freedom

Virginia AG pushes back on 3D-printed guns designs being available online

"...Herring fears that information like this could fall into the hands of criminals."

“This is going to make communities all across the country less safe,” Herring said."

Mark Herring is a red herring.

He knows the truth, but lies and distorts to suit his agenda.

He has a fully armed security detail, whereas we must provide the protection desired for ourselves and family.

A Landmark Legal Shift Opens Pandora’s Box for DIY Guns

Cody Wilson makes digital files that let anyone 3-D print untraceable guns. The government tried to stop him. He sued—and won.

Couch his anti-liberty, loony liberal antics in the "waste of time and money" category. Mark Herring is too late...as is usual for loony liberals.

John P (OCDO founding father) put something similar on his facebook, but it was Josh Shapiro the AG of Pennsylvania.

This is the caption John P put with his post.

I chuckled. Kinda like the old adage, "locks are for honest people."

Totally agree.

@realDonaldTrump
I am looking into 3-D Plastic Guns being sold to the public. Already spoke to NRA, doesn’t seem to make much sense!

If I interpret this tweet correctly, it sounds like he's leaning against 3D guns. Is that how you read it? (And "sold" is inaccurate.) That's too bad. Putting that in perspective, Trump's current understanding of 2A could be more about group generalized freedom and safety than the extreme individual liberty that we know the Founders espoused when studying the BoR in detail. He wants to protect 2A the way he understands it, but I get the feeling he might not sweat it if a few individuals lose out (ERPO) or people have to jump some hoops (CC, permits, guidelines) as long as a large % are able to carry. I wonder how Trump Jr feels about 2A, saw him following liberty issues like shadowban closely, which Trump Sr then picked up. Meanwhile NRA-ILA's news feed seems to lean in the opposite direction, linking to articles that speak positively of the DOJ move to allow the 3DG.

"Sold" may be appropriate, as we don't really know what's being sold. Supposedly, the plans were to be free, but what assumptions are being made about the product produced from those plans? Will such products only be produced by law abiding citizens who will adhere to all the laws regarding possession, sale, transfer, etc. (i.e. comply with the "no invisibility requirement" requiring a certain percentage of metal to be used, or add a serial number if the product is sold across a state line?).

While prohibition of the downloading of these plans will not keep (these) firearms out of the hands of those who should not have them, the rights of the law abiding among us are once again infringed. Other than material composition, how different is a 3D printed "ghost gun" from one made using an 80% lower?

Enforcement would be difficult. There could be some ham-fisted efforts along the lines of Waco or Ruby Ridge.

Probably one of the better articles on the absurdity of this issue.

A Federal Judge Launches a Futile, Unconstitutional Effort to Block Blueprints for 3D-Printed Guns

A snippet:

The court’s opinion is now online, and it’s a depressing read. It contains no meaningful First Amendment analysis, and its finding that there would be irreparable harm absent an injunction is — given the facts — astounding:

A side effect of the USML has been to make it more difficult to locate and download instructions for the manufacture of plastic firearms. If an injunction is not issued and the status quo alters at midnight tonight, the proliferation of these firearms will have many of the negative impacts on a state level that the federal government once feared on the international stage.​

What? The information is already out there. It takes seconds to locate. His order is the equivalent of ordering the government to block a gun store’s website without touching the vast bulk of gun sales information already on the web. And note what else the judge did. He extended federal regulations designed to deal with the proliferation of weapons abroad to apply here at home. He changed the law. He modified its purpose and scope to match the intentions of the litigants in his courtroom. Once again, a federal judge has overstepped his constitutional bounds.​

The way to glimpse what Trump is thinking or bouncing around for feedback (more detailed than tweets) is his rallies, meetings, etc. He often briefly mentions whatever is on the radar. If anyone hears him speak about 3D printed guns, please mention it here. Rallies are posted by third parties on YouTube and meetings often show up on official WhiteHouse YouTube. I don't have a TV so not sure about the best opportunities there.

I have no idea what he's planning on 3DPG, but generally about 2A I would say he is less about the individual and more about the society. He will defend the right for citizens to have guns in general, but doesn't "get it" about some of the finer points, his "infringed" is not nearly as strong as ours. However, some of the people he appoints help to provide a stronger defense than his own understanding. The current NRA/Trump chemistry and talks is still a big mystery. We need to keep encouraging them, and him, to have a better understanding and firm defense of our rights. I don't have a link for this beyond Trump and NRA; it's independent HP995 analysis/research. No time for a blog right now.
