It would be libelous not slanderous, if it was actually defamatory.
Also you'll notice I said if you plan on manufacturing a firearm illegally you'll likely manufacture an automatic version--I never said you would do so.
>Shall I assume that you have a propensity for rape if I were to know you were not a virgin?
Since not being a virgin is not illegal, those are not analogous.
A better analogy would be something like: I assume you have a propensity for rape, if you have previously committed sexual battery.
I am sorry, I took the literal definition of the following:
"* a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report: a slander against his good name*
You published and broadcast on HN that you assumed that I would be manufacturing illegal weapons based on a comment that I had an STL for a part of a gun.
You said that you DO assume that if I am going to 3D print a part, that I would be producing the fully automatic version of a weapon.
This post ignores the fact that the STL I refer to is only a singular part of a device.
Further, your analogy DOES NOT work. As printing a gun part is NOT illegal. So you are saying that having an STL is the same as having previously commited sexual battery???
