3D Printed Gun Safety Act of 2025
HR 4143, the 3D Printed Gun Safety Act of 2025, prohibits the online distribution of digital instructions (like 3D printer files) that can automatically create firearms or firearm parts. It directly affects individuals or entities sharing such code over the internet, not people using 3D printers to make guns. The law aims to prevent "ghost guns" made without serial numbers - making them untraceable by law enforcement, as seen in cases like the 2023 DC police seizure of 407 untraceable firearms. By banning the spread of these digital schematics, the bill targets a specific gap in firearm regulation.
