>Sounds like they will ship CNC machines, just not the one sold by Defense Distributed. Not cool.

The guys just need to have an additional "doing business as" cuddly name like "Tools for Local Sustainable Toy Milling and Crafting"

If you read up on the guy, that's not what he wants. He doesn't care about guns. He just wants to put manufacturing technology beyond the reach of the law. He's got a bit of an anarchist bent. Guns are just the means to his end - a convenient PR vehicle. In other words, he sort of wants people to talk about banning this stuff.
