3D printed guns are now legal… What’s next?

It's currently easier to just buy a gun than print or mill one. In my opinion, a mill or printer that's specific for gun parts ought to require an FFL to purchase. These machines should be used by hobbyists and for repair and restoration. There is nothing that these printers can do that's not being done now. You can still buy unfinished receivers with no serial numbers as well as all of the parts to make a rifle. However, anyone who mills their own gun is taking a huge risk. One of the reasons to purchase a firearm from a manufacturer is that they are proofed to guarantee they don't explode when you fire them.

What you said. I still would not trust a breech and barrel that was printed. But then again you can make a zip gun for about $15. Somewhere I have blueprints to make a 22lr Gatling gun. I will never get around to doing it because its an old style crank type with a box mag... but still I could if I wanted to. Come to think of it... I could probably 3d print most of the parts instead of machining them and just buy the barrels.
