Yesterday, the House voted 23-18 to pass House Bill 125, to essentially end the centuries-old practice of home-built firearms for personal use and to ban existing home-built firearms. It now goes to the Senate Judiciary Committee for further consideration. Please contact committee members and ask them to OPPOSE HB 125.
House Bill 125 imposes requirements that far exceed those in federal law. It prohibits private individuals from possessing certain unregulated components commonly used by hobbyists to make their own firearms. It also bans possessing existing home-built firearms that have been made since 1968, which are currently legal, or distributing digital files that can be used to program 3D printers to make certain firearm components.
Again, please contact committee members and ask them to OPPOSE HB 125.
