Washington: Committee Vote on 3-D Printing Ban Next Week
Dear [Lawmaker],
As a fellow resident of Washington, I urge you to OPPOSE HB 2320 in your committee. HB 2320 attempts to prohibit the private use of 3-D printers or milling machines for manufacturing firearms and firearms parts that are already illegal or restricted under state law. Additionally, HB 2320 prohibits the possession of digital instruction files and/or code related to firearm components by private individuals, which has both First, Second and Fifth Amendment implications. The title of this bill is misleading the public. This bill isn’t just about use of 3D machines and digital codes to manufacture firearms it contains a catch-all stating that the manufacture/assembly of any of the regulated items by “other means” is also prohibited. This bill sets forth a dangerous precedent for enforcement and policing of the internet by state officials. Again, I urge you to OPPOSE HB 2320. Thank you for all that you do for our state.
Sincerely,
______
