A federal judge in San Diego sided with California in its lawsuit against a Texas company that manufactures machines to enable hobbyists to produce their own weapons at home.
With this decision, Defense Distributed must stop selling and promoting machines used to allow California residents to create 3D printable guns.
Coast Runner Industries and Ghost Gunner were also named as defendants in the suit, which was filed by California in 2024. The state contended that Defense Distributed controls them and they exist only to skirt the law.
Judge Loren Freestone determined that the plaintiffs were correct in their arguments against making so-called “ghost guns.” These weapons are not serialized, and anti-gunners argue that this fact makes them difficult for law enforcement officials to trace.
For well over a decade, Defense Distributed produced computer numerical control (CNC) machines that may be used to make these weapons. The defendants asserted that their products could produce many basic items.
At a hearing before the decision, Coast Runner attorney Chad Flores told the court that the machines are “general” in nature, but Freestone was not swayed.
Attorney for the plaintiffs Sophie Kivett claimed that “there’s no Second Amendment right to self-manufacture firearms.” She successfully argued that, despite the landmark 2022 U.S. Supreme Court Bruen decision, the defendants are not protected in the production and distribution of these CNC machines that may be used to create ghost guns.
Freestone agreed that the Second Amendment and historical precedent do not establish the right to privately produce such weapons.
The state also contended that the defendants attempted to skirt the law through the rebranding of their products.
In 2022, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed Senate Bill 1327 into law. This established draconian restrictions on the private production of firearms despite the long history of such practices in the U.S., and was the basis for the state’s lawsuit.
