Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new class A misdemeanor for intentionally selling, distributing or sharing digital 3D-printing instructions for specified firearms, weapons, magazines and components to unlicensed persons in NY (expanding the existing ban on manufacturing such items), directly restricting access to 3D-printed firearms and accessories. It also adds a statutory definition of 'three-dimensional printer' and includes the new offense in the list of wiretap-eligible crimes, which are neutral technical changes with no net effect on the axis of firearm access.
