A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking a Texas-based gun rights group from posting online blueprints to make semiautomatic assault weapons from 3D printers. The injunction comes after the attorneys general of eight states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration aiming to block the downloadable blueprints from going online. This is Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts, one of the states that sued the administration.
Sen. Ed Markey: “These downloadable firearms are available even to those who could not pass a background check. It’s the ultimate gun loophole. Why buy them if you can print them at home instead? These firearms are also untraceable. They will not have a serial number for law enforcement to reference.”
