(Seattle, WA) — A ruling could come Monday in the legal battle over 3D-printed guns.
A U.S. district judge in Seattle is expected to decide whether to extend his order blocking an Austin company from publishing plans for the plastic guns.
Following a hearing on Tuesday, the judge said he believes the issue should be resolved by Congress and the executive branch instead of the courts.
Nineteen states and the District of Columbia are suing over the federal government’s decision to allow the distribution of 3D gun blueprints online.
