3D Guns: Despite the Complaints of Gun-Control Advocates, These Weapons Are Protected by the Bill of Rights
< < Go Back
U.S. district court judge in Seattle issued an order Tuesday temporarily prohibiting Defense Distributed, a non-profit organization, from publishing online blueprints for building mostly-plastic guns with 3D printers. Based on the reactions of gun-control advocates, an imminent public safety crisis was averted, despite the fact that similar blueprints have long been available online.
Actress Alyssa Milano called the plans “downloadable death.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., lambasted the Trump administration’s settlement with Defense Distributed, in which the government agreed not to interfere with publication in exchange for the Defense Distributed dropping its lawsuit against the federal government.
