UPDATE: AG Shapiro, State AGs Win Nationwide Preliminary Injunction Blocking Distribution of Downloadable 3D Gun Files

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Attorney General Josh Shapiro, along with eight other Attorneys General, won a nationwide preliminary injunction today that blocks the federal government from allowing the distribution of downloadable 3D guns online.

“This nationwide injunction is a tremendous win for public safety and common sense,” Attorney General Shapiro said. “These 3D-printed guns represent an immediate threat to our communities, and we will continue the legal fight to ensure they don’t end up in the hands of children, criminals, terrorists, and others who cannot legally possess firearms. This is a victory for law enforcement in Pennsylvania and throughout the country.”

The group of Attorneys General previously won a restraining order in federal court ruling just hours before a Texas company was prepared to make 3D gun files available nationally. Before that Attorney General Shapiro, Governor Tom Wolf and the Pennsylvania State Police took legal action that successfully blocked access to 3D guns files in Pennsylvania.
