Rep. Min Introduces Bill to Require Serial Numbers on 3D-Printed Firearms and Ghost Guns
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and has been sent to two House committees for review. It is actively moving through the system, but no future votes or hearings have been scheduled yet.
This bill is supported only by Democrats and faces strong opposition from groups that protect gun rights. It is unlikely to pass without a major shift in the balance of power in Congress.
The bill creates new criminal penalties for repeat violations of the serialization requirement. Someone convicted of a first offense who then willfully violates the law again faces a fine of up to $100,000 and a mandatory minimum of one year in prison. This adds a new federal crime to the books that could lead to incarceration for licensed manufacturers or dealers who repeatedly fail to serialize firearms.
“Whoever, having been convicted of violating section 923(i)(2), willfully violates such section shall be fined not more than $100,000, imprisoned not less than 1 year, or both.”
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Sent to a congressional committee for expert review. The committee decides whether this bill moves forward.
