All this does is make said files harder to collaborate on and share throughout the firearm and 3d printing community.
Not really. 3D printing plans have been easily available for a few years. CNC files for traditional metal milled parts, even longer.
This is purely a First Amendment issue. Defense Distributed is putting these files up as a statement to the effect that this stuff is here, anyone who wants one can build one and, although state might think they have a right to regulate firearms ownership, they effectively have no ability to do so. It's like Prohibition, or outlawing the possession of pot (Washington State, I'm looking at you). This is just the anti-2A people putting their fingers in their ears and saying "La, la, la" really loud.
So you are arguing that there is less overlap in the statistics due to married couples, each saying that they 'own' the same gun. And therefore, more guns.
government can not deny you right to transact in it
The government can deny you the right to transact practically anything just by declaring the possession of alternatives as money laundering. And without Net Neutrality, what makes you think that ISPs won't choose 'voluntarily' to block exchange sites?
government can not (without some type of physical direct coercion) steal it from you
Script kiddies can clean out a Bitcoin exchange. What makes you think that the expertise behind Stuxnet can't be directed against Bitcoin?
It's nowhere near critical yet. Because we still use AGW as an excuse to implement wealth transfer. When it starts to become critical, we'll start building nuclear plants without all the wackos' stalling tactics. Such acts will be considered treasonous and will be be dealt with accordingly.
24%. 13% say they live in a household where someone else owns a gun. But if one of those 2.58 people is a spouse, then they (in most cases) own it as well. Community property.
... the cloud. One giant mainframe buried in a mountain somewhere. Whatever they want to call it, the big boys seem to think that it will all devolve into a centralized service that they will manage.
In the 1990's, they said that Bill Gates didn't 'get' the Internet. And it sounds like most of the minions of the big companies still don't. I have a server in my basement and symmetrical fiber bandwidth to my house. I'll handle my own e-mail and host my own cat videos.

the trucking industry seem more receptive
Teamsters.
The soccer mom's union doesn't have nearly as much clout.
Less and less is better. Until an empty iPad box gives you the full effect.
Yeah. Got that.

When your computer crashes, it doesn't involve a school bus full of children.
By the time the situation is "critical" it will be far, far too late.
But that's the definition of critical. You've got to start the long lead time tasks now.

You've eaten HOW MUCH fast food this month??! Your health insurance premiums are going up.
And then there's the booze and cigarettes. Weed? Cannot have, no matter what your state says. The feds have the banking industry by the balls.

Hobo cooking fires in Seattle. Fortunately, most have been small.
how many people actually own guns
24%. 13% say they live in a household where someone else owns a gun. But if one of those 2.58 people is a spouse, then they (in most cases) own it as well. Community property.
Not even a household
Yes. Exactly a household.
Stop with the fake news already.
But not a capital offense.
That concept only applies to punishment by the state after the fact.
Remember, only a small fraction of Americans own guns.
About 40%.
Why should the city dictate this crap?
Because the old style of taxi service competition used to involve bodies floating in the East River.
it's a tool the administration can use to control behavior
I'd mod you up. But Slashdot admins haven't given me any points.
At least, get rid of outdoor lighting. So when you encounter someone at night, everyone is equal.
Just don't talk shit about Lee-Enfield ammunition.

We just refer to that as Clinton 8.
Shhh! I like buying that Indian gasoline.
The only correct solution: Stardate.
Only Japanese? We are at Jesus 2018.
