A small Texas nonprofit company agreed not to publish new instructions on the internet for making downloadable guns with 3-D printers until at least September after New Jersey sued to block the plan, the state’s attorney general said, though several designs are already online.
Austin-based Defense Distributed, run by Cody Wilson, shelved its plan to publish additional firearm designs, according to a tweet Tuesday by New Jersey’s top cop, Gurbir Grewal. The state sued Monday in Superior Court in Essex County, seeking a temporary restraining order against the company.
