AGs From Five States Sue Federal Government to Block 3D Gun Blueprints

New York State Attorney General Barbara Underwood joined a Multi-State Lawsuit against the Federal Government to Prohibit the Distribution of 3D Gun Plans.

The Top Law Enforcement Officials from Five States: Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, and the District of Columbia, Sued the Federal Government on Monday to Block Distribution of the Material used to make Untraceable 3D-Printed Guns, arguing it would make Cheap Weapons available to Terrorists and Criminals.

The Lawsuit aims to Block the Company, Defense Distributed, from Posting Instructions on the Internet for making a Homemade Gun.

“It is, simply, crazy to give criminals the tools to build untraceable, undetectable 3D-printed guns at the touch of a button,” New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood said. “We won’t stand by as New Yorkers’ safety is jeopardized by this abrupt about-face by the federal government.” Underwood was referring to a Federal Lawsuit by Defense Distributed, which Specializes in Spreading Open-Source Plans for 3D-Printed Firearms, filed against the State Department after it Blocked Online Distribution of the Company’s Deadly Gun-Making Plans on the Internet.

After Losing Arguments in West Texas District Court and again in Federal Appeals Court, the Company was on the Verge of Conceding Defeat on its Case when the Trump Administration Agreed to give in to the Gun Company. The Capitulation spurred the State AGs to File the Suit.

“As the chief law enforcement officers of our states, we believe the settlement terms and proposed rules are deeply dangerous and could have an unprecedented impact on public safety,” the AGs wrote in a Joint Letter to the Department of State and Department of Justice. “In addition to helping arm terrorists and transnational criminals, the settlement and proposed rules would provide another path to gun ownership for people who are prohibited by federal and state law from possessing firearms.”
