I believe that there are laws in place from making the barrel at home. You can make a gun with a lot of the 3d printers as well.

There aren't. It's a long piece of hardened steel with a hole drilled in it and a groove added thereto. No laws prohibit such manufacturing (assuming USA, I haven't so extensively studied such laws of other countries).
