New Jersey Congressman Frank Pallone announced a new bill to ban the printing of 3-D guns.
The measure would also prohibit the sale, import, or marketing of incomplete firearm frames and certain gun part kits.
Anyone who wants to build their own gun would have to undergo a background check.
A legal battle ensued earlier this year when the State Department reached a deal with Defense Distributed, allowing it to release blueprints for 3-D guns online.
