Time for some career politicians and grassroots campaigners to drum up a witch hunt to "regulate 3D printers" so that nobody out there can make a receiver without a permit ^.^

They've been doing that for quite some time. Do a search for "Ghost Gun" and have a laugh at California's politicians.

Luckily not a single anti gun politician has a bit of sense regarding guns or the disposition to ask an expert.

Making the barrel the serial numbered and tracked portion of a gun would make it much more difficult to machine at home.

Then they could just leave the 3d printer industry alone.
