AI Summary
This bill would make it illegal to share online the digital instructions (like CAD files or other code) that tell a 3D printer how to make a gun or to finish a gun from an unfinished frame or receiver. It targets posting or distributing these files over the internet or the web.
The bill explains why this matters: people can use inexpensive printers to make guns at home, some plastic parts may get past metal detectors, and these guns often have no serial numbers, making them hard to trace. It cites examples and data, including hundreds of “ghost guns” recovered by police and large numbers of gun traces handled by federal agents, to show the public safety risk of untraceable firearms and online sharing of these files.
- Who is affected: People and websites that share 3D‑printing files or code that can automatically make firearms or complete them from unfinished parts.
- What changes: Sharing those files online would be a federal crime, aimed at reducing untraceable “ghost guns” and helping police trace firearms used in crimes .
