“It’s a huge victory for us,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb, “because New Jersey wanted to be severed from our legal action in their effort to prevent publication of the information by Defense Distributed, thus violating the company’s and SAF’s First Amendment rights to promote the exercise of Second Amendment rights.”
The case dates back several years to when Defense Distributed published information online about manufacturing 3-D firearms. SAF has always considered this a First Amendment case, and it not the only First Amendment case the organization has championed. In 2016, SAF supported a lawsuit filed by the editor of TheGunMag.com–a firearms news publication owned by SAF–against the City of Seattle for withholding information on a gun and ammunition tax that should have been released under a Public Records Act request. The publication won that case, forcing the city to release revenue data proving tax revenues did not come close to projections.
