Bill overview
This bill, the 3D Printed Gun Safety Act of 2019, aims to prevent the online distribution of digital instructions for 3D printers that can be used to create firearms. It addresses concerns about the increasing accessibility of firearms through 3D printing, particularly for individuals prohibited from owning guns, and the difficulty in tracing these weapons due to the lack of serial numbers. The bill seeks to curb the proliferation of untraceable firearms and protect public safety by prohibiting the sharing of computer code that can automatically program 3D printers to manufacture firearms.
