The issue of gun control is back in the spotlight - this time with a high-tech twist.
A federal judge's temporary restraining order aims at blocking plans to upload blueprints necessary for a person to build a plastic weapon in their own home.
Here's what we know as the legal battle comes to a head over whether 3D-printed plastic guns will become a reality soon in America:
A Texas company had promised to upload instructions at midnight for making 3D-printed plastic guns. What happened?
A federal court in Seattle on Tuesday issued a temporary restraining order blocking Cody Wilson and his Austin-based Defense Distribution from uploading plans to make 3D-printed firearms from handguns to AR-15 style rifles. In a related development, Wilson also agreed to refrain temporarily from releasing the plans under a deal reached with the state of New Jersey.
