Bill > S07364

This bill amends the New York Penal Law to regulate the manufacture and distribution of 3D-printed firearms. Specifically, it creates a new offense for the intentional sale, distribution, or disposal of 3D-printed firearms, assault weapons, and other firearm components, which would be a class A misdemeanor. The bill also defines "three-dimensional printer" and adds the new 3D-printed firearm offense to the list of offenses that can be investigated through a eavesdropping warrant. The bill is intended to address the growing concern over the availability of untraceable, homemade firearms known as "ghost guns" that can be produced using 3D printing technology.
