Plan To Publish 3D Printed Plastic Guns Blocked

Plastic Gun

There are a lot of reasons given by the US District Judge Robert Lasnik to have blocked the plan of 3D printed plastic gun and one of it is that the gun would be undetectable making it easier to carry through majority of the security systems. Another reason is that it will prevent authorities from being able to control the use of firearms.
The company behind the plans, Defense Distributed, reached an agreement with the federal government in June allowing it to make the plans for the guns available for download, starting this week.
The right to access the blueprints was originally forbidden by the State Department after the printable gun was invented in 2013 by a gun-rights activist Cody Wilson.
A four-year legal battle followed between digital weapons publisher Defense Distributed, pro-gun activists the Second Amendment Foundation and the federal government, which concluded with a surprise decision that US citizens can "access... use and reproduce" the plans.

Plastic gun fired

Report says that although the blueprint was supposed to be released on Wednesday, but it was released earlier and more that thousands of downloads has already taken place. The block might not really have a great effect has already downloaded prints can be shared from one individual to another.
Personally, I feel the US should work on means to detect such weapon in the population and upgrade security system.
