SAF Challenges Third Circuit After Court Dismisses 3D-Printed Gun Files Case

Summary

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed a petition for rehearing in Defense Distributed v. Attorney General of New Jersey, urging the full Third Circuit to reconsider a panel decision that dismissed a constitutional challenge. The case contests a 2018 New Jersey statute criminalizing the publication of 3D-printed gun files without a federal license, with SAF arguing the dismissal neglected First and Second Amendment claims.
