AUSTIN, Texas — A federal judge on Tuesday issued a temporary restraining order to block access to the 10 blueprints that detail how to make 3D-printed firearms, from handguns to AR-15 style rifles. Cody Wilson, the founder of a pro-gun group, agreed to stop posting any new blueprints online until September while a multi-state lawsuit makes its way through the courts.
But in the past three days, more than 2,500 people have downloaded Wilson's blueprints for 3D-0printed AR-15 style assault rifles.
"Anyone can use it for commercial, non-commercial purposes. It's there. No one can take that back from you," Wilson said.
The plastic weapons are untraceable, often undetectable and deadly.
"If I allow you to download an AR-15, I don't believe that I provide you with anything other than the general knowledge of what an AR-15 is," Wilson said. "I am no different from a publisher of information."
