Attorney General Ellison sues Trump Administration over effort to allow release of 3D-printed guns
Federal judge found previous attempt to allow 3D-printed guns unlawful; states claim current attempt is unlawful for same reasons as previous attempt
“My job is to help Minnesotans live with safety, dignity, and respect. It’s hard even to conceive that the Trump Administration is willing to let Minnesotans die just so a few companies can get rich off of flooding our streets with undetectable and untraceable weapons. But that’s exactly what the Administration is doing. I won’t allow it,” Attorney General Ellison said.

“The legitimacy of our entire judicial system rests on people’s trust that they will be treated fairly no matter who they are, with no exceptions.
