In a parting shot as the Biden-Harris Administration is packing up the White House this week, an ominous-sounding report was released. 

As requested by Biden in an Executive Order signed last September, the administration established an Emerging Firearm Threats Task Force to report back on machinegun conversion devices and 3D-printed firearms. 

While the report, summarized Tuesday by the White House, has no teeth, it does make several observations including the statement, "The emergence of unserialized, 3D printed firearms pose significant domestic and international threats."  

Excerpts of the White House statement are below, emphasis ours, to sort of read between the lines as to where a planned 2025-28 Harris administration may have acted on the subject had last November's elections had a different outcome. 

While there is no current U.S. law regulating the simple possession of computer code that could be used to 3D print MCDs, there are statutory authorities to prevent the illegal import and export of such code. Relevant authorities differentiate whether individuals placing MCD files onto the Internet are based in the United States or abroad... 

While there is no current U.S. law regulating the simple possession of computer code that could be used to 3D print firearms, there are statutory authorities to prevent the illegal import and export of such code. Relevant authorities differentiate whether individuals placing files onto the Internet are based in the United States or abroad. OGVP recommends that the interpretation of export and import laws be harmonized and applied to best prevent the distribution of computer code used to print unserialized or undetectable 3D-printed firearms...

Although the MCDs themselves are machineguns and individuals cannot lawfully possess them under federal law and the laws of about half of the states, except under very limited circumstances, possession of the computer code used to produce them is currently unregulated under federal law... 

The pro-Second Amendment Firearms Policy Coalition on Tuesday evening issued a statement that read in part, "The Biden-Harris Administration’s Emerging Firearm Threats Task Force report has once again demonstrated their complete and manifest contempt for the People of the United States and their constitutionally protected rights, including the freedom of speech and right to keep and bear arms. This report is both evidence of the immoral agenda driven by these politicians and a warning to the American public."
