This is scary stuff – guns that are not regulated. A bad decision by the Trump administration.
Update – temporary restraining order (more below)
This is nuts: Trump admin is allowing anyone with a 3D printer—including felons, terrorists, and the mentally ill—to make an untraceable plastic gun. https://t.co/tnPqec4wzZ

This is nuts! Green-lighting online availability of plans for the production of plastic guns on 3-D printers? What a tragic mistake. https://t.co/2iRd2kJdqI

This dangerous move by Trump Admin to cater to the NRA poses a grave threat to public safety by making it possible for ANYONE with a 3D printer, including terrorists and domestic abusers, to print untraceable firearms without as much as a background check. https://t.co/BmW2GymsFY

They can't be caught by metal detectors, they don't have serial numbers to trace, they don't require background checks, but now you can get plans needed to build 3D-printed guns online. https://t.co/4P2HyZ9vTY pic.twitter.com/9ywtXvFKm9

The Trump administration is reversing a rule that banned people from posting instructions on how to make a fully-functioning gun at home with a 3D printer. DOJ will allow people to start posting these blueprints Aug 1st. This is a dangerous decision and we are demanding answers. pic.twitter.com/9GSoka37Ju

Cody Wilson has been called one of the world's "most dangerous people." For more than 5 years, he has pushed to publish his blueprints for a 3D-printed gun. Until Tuesday evening, it looked like he'd get his way. https://t.co/qUJvIDa5DX

Judge made right call. If @realDonaldTrump truly thinks 3D guns don’t make sense then he should buck the NRA and use his bully pulpit to pressure the GOP to pass our bill to stop 3D guns once and for all. https://t.co/HBENAkSn2A
