The case centers on a federal judge in San Francisco
The case centers on a federal judge in San Francisco whose May ruling in the case of Crespo v. Defense Distributed was challenged by the plaintiffs and the U.S. Supreme Court, which found that the U.S. Munitions List, which includes 3D printed firearms, could be kept online after the administration granted them to the plaintiffs.
"This government seeks to deny the plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction to prevent unauthorized modifications of the US Munitions List, which it may have been permitted to do when it was published as part of the agreement [for the sale of the 3D printed 3D printer] with Defense Distributed," Lasnik wrote.
The judge added that the Defense Distributed case had "no merit," and did not require Congress to modify the ban.
Diana L. Darnell, director of the Center for American Progress's Center for Law and Justice at the Urban Institute, told The Hill that the court's ruling may be a victory for the Defense Distributed plaintiffs.
"It's a victory for the public interest," she said. "It puts a stop to the massive, unchecked surveillance that the government collects on private citizens and their businesses like they do on the public. But because the court found that the government was simply doing its job, the court must now take a stand against this outrageous practice."
The US Attorney General's Office said in a statement that the case is "a major victory for the public interest."
