Washington, DC (WOLO) — It was down to the wire with just hours before 3D printable guns were likely to become legal for a Texas non profit to publish instructions online for anyone to download, and then use to print a 3D weapon. Tuesday night A Federal Judge in Seattle put an end to the blue prints by blocking the move, putting the plan on hold, for now.

Supporters say these files are protected by free speech. Gun control advocates argue the plastic guns will be untraceable and will easily land in the hands of criminals.

At least 8 states are suing the trump administration and asking the courts to intervene and block the release of these blueprints.
