Round two: 3-D printed guns:

https://www.aol.com/article/news/2018/07/30/us-states-to-sue-trump-administration-over-3-d-printed-guns/23492553/



July 30 (Reuters) - Nine U.S. states on Monday said they will jointly sue the Trump administration for allowing the public to download blueprints for 3-D printable guns, a last-ditch effort to block the online dissemination of the designs before they are expected to become available later this week.

Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson said at a news conference in Seattle that the states will ask a federal judge to issue a restraining order and an injunction to block the publication of the designs.

The states, Washington, New York and Pennsylvania among them, are working on finalizing the lawsuit and plan on filing it later on Monday, Ferguson said.

At issue is a June settlement between the U.S. government and Texas-based Defense Distributed which allowed the company to legally publish gun blueprints online, something its website says it plans to do by Aug. 1.

The government had until recently argued the blueprints posed a national security risk. Ferguson said the government failed to explain why it settled the case and allowed the publication of the blueprints.

"Our Congress has carefully crafted laws to protect us and in one moment, without any consultation with experts, the administration undoes it," Ferguson said during the news conference.

Under the Obama administration, the government initially ordered the blueprints taken down in 2013 and Defense Distributed founder Cody Wilson sued in 2015, claiming his First Amendment and Second Amendment rights had been violated.

Gun control groups on Friday urged a federal judge to intervene before the designs are expected to go online. (Reporting by Tina Bellon; editing by Grant McCool)

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity...

Sarcasm makes smart people laugh and stupid people mad.

So stupid. Apparently they don’t realize that anyone with half a brain could draw up their own plans and 3d print them. Or probably cheaper yet head to the nearest hardware store and buy what they need to fashion a device to shoot ammunition.  :bash:

Just keep wasting tax dollars.

WA makes a play for their fair share of stupid.

Twenty states announced Monday that they plan to ask a federal judge in Seattle to immediately issue a temporary restraining order against Defense Distributed, a Texas-based group that has already begun making 3D-printer gun files available on its DEFCAD website after a recent legal settlement with the US State Department.
"After almost 18 months I was skeptical that there was anything else that this administration would do that would truly shock me, but they have," Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson told reporters assembled in Olympia and by phone. "Frankly, it is terrifying... We think that it is important to put a stop to this right away and make it as difficult as humanly possible to access this information.

Don't forget, these idiot leftist politicians are voted into office over and over and over. It's the voters fault. Get rid of them or live with their stupidity.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............
