The federal government had insisted that Defense Distributed's gun-making data files violated the munitions export rules embedded in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

Defense Distributed also sells computer-controlled milling machine by which a buyer can use gun-making data files to make their own firearm receivers.
