AI Summary
This bill, the 3D Printed Gun Safety Act of 2019, seeks to amend chapter 44 of Title 18 of the United States Code to prohibit the distribution of digital instructions, such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) files or other computer code, that can be used to automatically program a 3D printer or similar device to produce a firearm or complete an unfinished firearm frame or receiver. The bill cites concerns about the proliferation of 3D-printed firearms, which can evade metal detectors and be obtained by individuals prohibited from possessing firearms, as well as the impact on firearms tracing and the broader federal firearms regulatory scheme.
