Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new class A misdemeanor for distributing 3D-print files or instructions for prohibited or regulated firearms and components to unlicensed persons (firearms/weapon-accessory-restrictions, restricts). It also adds a definition of three-dimensional printer and makes the new offense eligible for certain wiretap warrants (firearms/other, neutral). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
