Big Win for SAF, Defense Distributed – This Week on Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk

Mandeville, LA – It’s a big win for both free speech rights and gun rights, looking at gunsmithing as a career, and more, this Sunday on Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk®, the original nationally-syndicated talk show about guns and the shooting sports.

Second Amendment Foundation’s Alan Gottlieb has had a very busy summer, and stops by to tell Tom all about the latest legal battles. In addition to filing a lawsuit in California over the state’s flawed gun registration system this week, news has finally broken about a settlement with the Department of Justice in the lawsuit filed on behalf of Cody Wilson and Defense Distributed back in 2015. From SAF’s release: “Under terms of the settlement, the government has agreed to waive its prior restraint against the plaintiffs, allowing them to freely publish the 3-D files and other information at issue. Significantly, the government expressly acknowledges that non-automatic firearms up to .50-caliber – including modern semi-auto sporting rifles such as the popular AR-15 and similar firearms – are not inherently military.”

“Not only is this a First Amendment victory for free speech, it also is a devastating blow to the gun prohibition lobby,” noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “For years, anti-gunners have contended that modern semi-automatic sport-utility rifles are so-called ‘weapons of war,’ and with this settlement, the government has acknowledged they are nothing of the sort.

Also stopping by the show this week is gunsmith Jodi Gritus of Robar Guns, to talk about getting into gunsmithing as a career. Find out more at https://robarguns.com.
