“Indiegogo, a website for submitting projects in order to get funding from donors, determined that a project (the Wiki Weapon Project) with the goal of creating a sharable/downloadable file for a 3-D printed gun was in violation of its terms of service. A group calling itself ‘Defense Distributed’ is raising money to design and test the world’s first downloadable gun. Labeled ‘the Wiki Weapon Project,’ the plan is to develop a prototype comprised of printable parts made out of plastic that can fire a .22 caliber bullet.”
