Gun Violence Activist Piling On The Lawsuits: Now The Brady Campaign Is Suing The Trump Administration. Here's Why. Gun control group Brady Town to Prevent Gun Violence on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against the State Department for failing to provide documents relating to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed five months ago. The Brady Campaign had requested documents pertaining to the State Department's settlement with Defense Distributed which granted the company the right to publish 3-D printed files.  Previously the State Department had said that 3-D printed guns were a national security risk because anyone with a 3-D printer could print the firearms.  "The Trump Administration must explain to the public why it chose to reverse longstanding State Department policy opposing publication of blueprints, and decide to allow terrorists and other dangerous people to make undetectable, untraceable guns with 3-D printers in complete anonymity," Kris Brown, President of Brady Campaign and Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said in a statement. "Instead of making it infinitely easier for the wrong people to get their hands on guns, it’s the government’s responsibility to prevent the inevitable threats to its citizens posed by weapons that can pass through metal detectors in airports, schools, and other public places." https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2018/12/22/piling-on-the-lawsuits-now-the-brady-campaign-is-suing-the-trump-administration-heres-why-n2537971
