Defense Distributed, the company at the heart of this particular case, weren't the first people to distribute gun plans online. 2d plans for AR-15's have been available to the public since before the Internet was a thing.

3d cad files for the AR-15 and others were available on the Internet before Defense Distributed and while they were in legal limbo.

This whole thing didn't even affect their primary product the ghost gunner. It is a mini mill purpose built to produce gun parts. It and the software required to produce gun parts has been available from them this whole time.

You don't need a 3d printer or a mini mill to make an AR lower anyway. A friggin' 2x4 will work.
