US states to sue Trump administration over 3-D printed guns

A group of U.S. states on Monday said it is suing the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump for allowing the public to download blueprints for 3-D printable guns.

The lawsuit, announced at a news conference in Seattle, is a last-ditch effort by nine states including Washington, New York and Pennsylvania, to block the online dissemination of the designs before they are expected to become available later this week.
