Show full summary
  • Families and communities: Seeks to limit the spread of untraceable "ghost" guns that law enforcement ties to violent incidents and domestic abuse.
  • Law enforcement: Targets online sources of ghost guns to improve tracing. The bill’s findings note more than 639,295 ATF trace requests in 2024 and recoveries such as 407 ghost guns seized by DC police in 2023.
  • Online publishers and programmers: Would make sharing CAD files or other code that automatically programs a 3D printer to produce a firearm a federal offense when distributed on the internet or World Wide Web.
  • Policy framing: Congressional findings describe this as a restriction on distributing schematics rather than a measure aimed at programmers’ speech.
