Colorado is moving forward with a bill that could regulate digital records showing citizens how to use a 3D printer to make a gun.
The bill is HB26-1144, and it puts new limits on what a 3D printer could do, according toTechSpot.
The measure would not only ban making a gun or key components of one, but would also criminalize what are called “digital instructions” that can program a machine to make the gun or parts.
The legislation would ban having computer-aided design instructions if they are going to be used to make a gun, or shared with someone else trying to make one.
Colorado house representatives pass the prohibition of files that could print guns and gun parts.
Make no mistake, this is a book ban and an attack on the 2nd and the 1st amendment.

The Colorado bill treats first offenses as misdemeanors, but later violations become felonies.
The report noted that some states are trying to crack down on the printers themselves so that they cannot be made to produce a gun.
