A Bill to create an offence of possessing a blueprint for the production of a firearm by 3D printing; to create an offence of possessing part of a firearm produced by 3D printing; and for connected purposes.
The Firearms (3D Printing) Bill would make it an offence to possess a blueprint for producing a firearm by 3D printing, and to possess parts of a firearm that have been produced this way. By doing so, it aims to close gaps in firearm control created by do-it-yourself 3D-printed weapons and to help keep such weapons off the streets.
The bill is at the second reading in the House of Commons; if it progresses, it will move to committee stage for detailed scrutiny and amendment.
