Washington: Committee Vote on 3-D Printing Ban Next Week

Listen to Article

Next week, Washington State’s House Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee is set to vote on House Bill 2320, a thinly veiled assault on 3D printing that could criminalize the production of unregulated firearms frames or receivers. Proponents frame it as a public safety measure, but let’s call it what it is: a desperate bid by anti-2A forces to strangle innovation in the face of unstoppable technology. This isn’t about ghost guns or untraceable weapons—it’s about control. 3D printing democratizes manufacturing, allowing hobbyists, innovators, and everyday Americans to exercise their ingenuity without Big Brother’s permission slip. HB 2320 would slap felony charges on anyone printing firearm parts without serialization, effectively banning home fabrication under the guise of regulation.

Dig deeper, and the hypocrisy shines through. Washington’s already drowning in red-flag laws, mag bans, and assault weapon restrictions that haven’t stopped a single criminal—they never do. This bill echoes failed federal pushes like the Undetectable Firearms Act updates, ignoring Supreme Court precedents like *Bruen* that affirm the right to bear arms extends to modern tools of self-defense. For the 2A community, the implications are stark: if lawmakers can outlaw your garage printer today, what’s next—AR-15 kits from PSA? It supercharges the home gunsmithing renaissance, where tinkerers bypass bloated FFL waitlists and sky-high prices. Defeat this in committee, and it sends a message: technology trumps tyranny.

Gun owners, printers, and patriots—mobilize now. Flood the committee with calls (find contacts at leg.wa.gov), rally your networks, and amplify this on X and forums. Washington’s a battleground state for 2A erosion, but we’ve beaten worse. If HB 2320 passes, it won’t just hobble hobbyists; it’ll embolden copycat bans nationwide, inching us toward a future where only the state prints the tools of freedom. Stand firm—your Second Amendment demands it.
