California joins lawsuit against 3-D printed guns
California is joining eight other states and the District of Columbia in a lawsuit to stop the release of blueprints to make 3-D printed plastic guns.

California is joining eight other states and the District of Columbia in a lawsuit to stop the release of blueprints to make 3-D printed plastic guns.



State Attorney General Xavier Becerra blames President Donald Trump for a government settlement that would have allowed the plans to be posted online.



A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order to block the settlement.



The guns would be untraceable and undetectable.



The White House says the administration supports long-standing laws against owning plastic guns.



The Texas company seeking to release the plans, Defense Distributed, says it may appeal.
