The Firearms (3D Printing) Bill would make it illegal to possess a blueprint for producing a firearm using a 3D printer, and to possess parts of a firearm that have been produced by 3D printing. It aims to close gaps in firearms law created by new printing technology by extending criminal offences to digital files and printed components.
The bill is at the Commons' second reading stage. If it progresses, it would go on to detailed scrutiny in committee and subsequent stages before becoming law.
