Printed gun idea downed by US Government[Updated]

this is breaking news, so sources are somewhat limited. new source- http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/05/09/dod-forces-3d-gun-printer-defense-distributed-to-pull-weapon-specs-off-website/ new source- http://www.ammoland.com/2013/05/us-department-of-defense-trade-shuts-down-defense-distributed-wiki-gun-downloads/ new source- http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/citizen-warrior/2013/may/9/us-government-shuts-down-3d-gun-manufacturer/ [url=http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/05/09/State-Department-Pulls-3D-Gun-Content]under order from the united states government[/url], Defense D***d was forced to shutdown it's blueprint website. people with access to a 3d printer and a hardware store were able to make their own single-shot .22LR pistol with said blueprints, and making one's own guns is legal as long as they comply with all applicable laws and themselves are eligible to own guns. the information is also being claimed as property of the government. how does this make you feel? should information be able to be subject to censorship and eminent domain? should they have a right to publish information?

    It's obviously in the public interest to prevent the information necessary to freely print guns from being disseminated, just as it is with instructions on how to make explosives.
