## Summary

**A ban on posting 3D-printing code that makes guns.** This bill would prohibit distributing CAD files or other code on the internet that automatically programs a 3D printer to produce a firearm or to complete an unfinished frame or receiver. - Families and communities: Aims to reduce access to untraceable, potentially undetectable firearms by dangerous people such as felons and domestic abusers. - Law enforcement and public safety: Targets ghost guns that lack serial numbers and complicate tracing. ATF processed over 639,295 trace requests in 2024 and found 46,037 interstate firearms from 2017–2021. - Internet platforms and file sharers: Would make it illegal to post CAD files or other code on the World Wide Web that can automatically program a 3D printer to make a firearm or finish a receiver.
