Seems weird it would fall under free speech specifically.
Why?
It's just not how I'm used to thinking of it I guess. Sharing gun designs for 3D printer just doesn't seem like the sort of thing that would be covered by free speech. I always think of sharing your views, opinions, arguing for something and so on as free speech. My reaction would be to consider that other stuff as some sort of publishing or some such thing.
Apologies for my poor reading comprehension, i am kind of dumb; can you please elaborate what you mean by that sentence?
It just feels more like distributing a product or something rather than it being the speech mentioned in free speech. I'm not making a legal argument or anything btw, I'm just talking about what the term brings to my mind.
