Senators Want Pompeo to Block Release of 3-D Gun Blueprints in Administration Settlement

WASHINGTON -- Lawmakers have called on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to try to stop a Trump administration settlement that would allow the free posting of 3-D gun blueprints online, arguing it's a national security issue that could put more guns in the hands of terrorists.

In 2013, University of Texas law student Cody Wilson posted digital blueprints for a 3-D printable handgun; Wilson's nonprofit, Defense Distributed, has since expanded its range of offerings. The State Department entered a legal battle with Wilson after ordering him to take down the blueprints, arguing that they were essentially a violation of arms export statutes since they were available for download overseas.

In June, the Trump State Department settled with Wilson and agreed to suspend relevant International Trafficking in Arms Regulations provisions, clearing the way for the gun blueprints to be publicly released Aug. 1.
