Colorado Dems Declare War on 3D Printing and Home-Built Guns

Summary

Colorado Democrats have introduced two new bills aimed at restricting firearms: HB 1144 would ban 3D printing of firearms, unfinished receivers, large-capacity magazines, and rapid-fire devices, making it illegal to possess or distribute related digital instructions. Additionally, SB 43 seeks to require background checks for all standalone gun barrel sales. Gun owners in Colorado should be aware of these proposed laws which significantly impact the ability to produce home-built firearms and components.
