I think we're a little off target on this issue. I think this rule change is more aimed at the right of assembly phrase in the first amendment rather than "technical data" regarding firearms. The way I see it, the administration got a black eye after the outcry at the attempt to ban 5.56 ammo. How did many of us find out about the ban? How long did it take word to spread through the shooting community? How long did it take shooters who are active in the sport to contact their representatives and have something done about it? The administration wants to shut us down. Not so we can't share reloading data or how to fix that new build that doesn't cycle, but to keep us from alerting fellow shooters as to threats to our hobby.

If "they" can get this rammed through, they will have killed two birds with a single stone. A precedent will have been set that effectively allows for regulation of what happens on the interwebz (if not ITAR, some other law), and they can chip away at not only the Second Amendment, but any other right they wish to as well.

BTW, I'm trying to come up with something to say to my congress critters. If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to suggestion. The sooner we start speaking our minds and letting our reps know, the better.
