US court puts hold on 3D printed pistols
US Federal Judge Robert Lasnik yesterday blocked the publication of the manuals for printing 3D weapons, which would have allowed home-based weaponry to be built under a judicial agreement reached by the government of Donald Trump with a pro-arms group. The initiative generated a great deal of controversy and prosecutors from several states filed a lawsuit on Monday, two days before the scheduled publication to ask for the publications to be blocked. The judge argued that the publication of the Manuals from the Defense Distributed organisation in Texas would result in “a probability of irreparable damage,” as 3D printers are now easily accessible and arms could even be made in schools.
