Following an emergency hearing in federal court in Philadelphia initiated by the Attorney General, a company seeking to distribute downloadable gun files over the Internet agreed to make its sites inaccessible to Pennsylvania users and to not upload any new 3D gun files.

Before Sunday’s hearing, the company, Defense Distributed, had promised that on August 1, “the age of the downloadable gun formally begins.”
