San Diego County alleges company skirted state gun laws by rebranding a machine that turns simple slabs of metal into components for untraceable firearms.

When San Diego County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer first saw the Coast Runner milling machine being marketed as some state-of-the-art product for creative people in California, she was livid.

In 2022, Defense Distributed sued California over a law that made it illegal for anyone without a federal license to manufacture guns to 'sell, offer to sell, or transfer a CNC milling machine that has the sole or primary function of manufacturing firearms' to anyone in the state. The law also requires people in California to have a federal license to purchase or possess such a machine or to use one to make gun parts.
