A hashtag coined by a Hollywood actress turned activist to stir up opposition to 3D gun files has taken on a life of its own
Alyssa Milano, the former “Who’s the Boss” child actress, termed digital firearm files in a recent CNN editorial “Downloadable Death” and started promoting her piece on social media with a matching hashtag. Active in the NoRA organization with an aim to counter the National Rifle Association, the group also began using the tag this week as well.

5 years ago, for $25 worth of plastic, it was already possible print a gun that could fire 9 shots. This type of unregistered #DownloadableDeath will be available to everyone 8/1. Take action below. #NoRA https://t.co/vzBhwzluyB

The tag was soon picked up by like-minded groups

3D printed guns = #DownloadableDeath

And other activists.

You will be directly responsible for every shooting that takes place with an untraceable 3D printed gun. Yes, the blood of every child that dies in a school, every person killed on an airplane, every police officer murdered on the job will be on your hands #DownloadableDeath
