H.R.7115 - 3D Firearms Prohibitions Act

Quote:

To prohibit the sale, acquisition, distribution in commerce, or import into the United States of certain firearm receiver castings or blanks, assault weapon parts kits, and machinegun parts kits and the marketing or advertising of such castings or blanks and kits on any medium of electronic communications, to require homemade firearms to have serial numbers, and for other purposes.

Quote:

(a) Banned hazardous products.—Notwithstanding section 3(a)(5)(E) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2052(a)(5)(E)), the following shall be considered banned hazardous products under section 8 of such Act (15 U.S.C. 2057): (1) A firearm receiver casting or firearm receiver blank or unfinished handgun frame that— (A) at the point of sale does not meet the definition of a firearm in section 921(a) of title 18, United States Code; and (B) after purchase by a consumer, can be completed by the consumer to the point at which such casting or blank functions as a firearm frame or receiver for a semiautomatic assault weapon or machinegun or the frame of a handgun. (2) An assault weapon parts kit. (3) A machinegun parts kit.

Right now 80% complete receivers/frames are legal. I wonder how complete a piece of metal or polymer can be and still avoid the new requirements?

(a) In general.—It shall be unlawful to market or advertise, on any medium of electronic communications, including over the Internet, for the sale of any of the following: (1) A firearm receiver casting or firearm receiver blank or unfinished handgun frame that— .... (2) An assault weapon parts kit. (3) A machinegun parts kit.

Sounds like this might run afoul of the 1st amendment.

Quote:

“§ 923A. Serial numbers for homemade firearms “(a) Request.—A person who has attained 18 years of age and desires to make a firearm, or obtain a unique serial number or other identifying mark for a firearm, may request a licensed dealer to issue a unique serial number or other identifying mark for the firearm, which request shall describe the firearm involved, and state whether the firearm will be (or is) a handgun.

I wonder why this part took them so long.

Quote:

“(3) BAN ON POSSESSION OR TRANSFER OF FIREARM WITHOUT SERIAL NUMBER.—It shall be unlawful for any person, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, to possess or transfer a firearm made after 1968 by a person who is not a licensed manufacturer, unless—

Looks like the local engravers will be busy for a little while if this bill passes. I just used a pencil engraver on mine. Looks like crap though.

NFA firearms are exempt as they already have serial numbers; manufacturers are exempt as well as they are already required to engrave everything they make.

Quote:

(4) the term “semiautomatic assault weapon” means— (A) a semiautomatic rifle or semiautomatic shotgun that has the capacity to accept a detachable ammunition feeding device; or....

The sponsors of this bill are going full retard just like WA did by defining nearly all semi-auto rifle as assault weapons.
