Earlier this year, California Attorney General Rob Bonta and San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu sued CTRLPEW, LLC and The Gatalog for providing firearms computer-aided design (CAD) files over the internet. California law prohibits sharing files that allow users to 3D-print firearms at home. Although the law applies only to California residents, The Gatalog makes the files freely available to anyone on the internet via Odysee.com. California claims the two websites are violating the law even though neither is hosted in the state.
Alexander Holladay (known online as CTRLPEW), CTRLPEW, LLC, Centurion Partners Group, LLC, Jonathan Adams, and Trey Bickley are now suing the state of California. They allege that the state is infringing on their First and Second Amendment rights and assert claims of extraterritorial overreach and retroactivity.
Mr. Holladay is a designer and author of numerous CAD files for guns. Centurion Partners Group, LLC is a federally licensed firearms manufacturer (Type 07 FFL) that uses CTRLPEW resources for lawful business purposes. Mr. Bickley and Mr. Adams are Florida residents who receive, view, archive, and use the content. (Adams lawfully manufactured and possesses a Plastikov V4 firearm using CTRLPEW materials.)
