Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill, the 3D Printed Gun Safety Act of 2019, amends 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 code, that can be used to automatically program a 3D printer or similar device to produce a firearm or complete a firearm from an unfinished frame or receiver. The bill aims to address the concern that the availability of 3D-printed firearm schematics online could allow dangerous individuals, including felons and domestic abusers, to obtain untraceable and potentially undetectable firearms, thereby undermining federal firearms regulations and posing a threat to public safety and national security.
