> A DVD drive like this seems like it would be used to make a lot of DVD copies, which implies trade, which raises the specter of illegal activity.

No it doesn't. Most people who have computers with DVD drives do not sell DVDs. On the other hand, most people who have gun manufacturing machines do trade in guns.

Just as relevant, you don't need a license for DVDs, but you do need a license for guns.

A lathe and drill press are all you need to make a gun, but I don't think that most people that own them do trade in guns.
