When anti-gun Colorado Democrats removed some key provisions in House Bill 1144—a measure that would have made it a crime to build guns or gun parts by using a 3D printer—advocates for the bill told news agencies they would come back next year to fill the gaps.
The problem came up, according to published reports, when Gov. Jared Polis indicated he would veto the legislation. Polis, a Democrat, is term-limited out this year.
The Summit Daily is reporting that state Sen. Tom Sullivan, one of the state’s most vocal gun control advocates, “signaled that he would try again to pass a ban on 3-D printing instructions next year after Polis leaves office.”
Sullivan’s son was a victim of the mass shooting at the Aurora movie theater in 2012. The killer in that incident had planned his attack well in advance. It did not involve a 3D-based firearm.
Likewise, the Colorado Sun quoted Sen. Katie Wallace (D-Longmont), saying she looks forward to “fighting another day” for the legislation.
