A new way to download and print a useable gun with a 3D Printer has been blocked in Pennsylvania.
According to Skook News, Attorney General Josh Shapiro, Governor Tom Wolf and the Pennsylvania State Police announced late Monday that they have successfully blocked access to 3D downloadable guns in Pennsylvania.
Following an emergency hearing in federal court in Philadelphia a company called Defense Distributed, who was seeking to distribute downloadable gun files over the Internet agreed to make its sites inaccessible to Pennsylvania users, and to not upload any new 3D gun files.
However, before Monday’s hearing, the company claimed that they began distributing gun files on Friday. By Sunday, 1,000 people had already downloaded 3D plans for AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifles.
Attorney General Shapiro and his legal team will continue seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction against Defense Distributed’s plans to make its 3D gun files available online as the litigation continues.
