  You can't make a handgun with a lathe, though.
You can get pretty close with computer controlled mills that exist today, a lot closer than with the 3D printers that exist today.

And, you can put a bullet in the end of a pipe pretty easily. It doesn't have to be a good gun, after all.

If the quality of the gun was irrelevant to the effectiveness of the weapon, the military would be armed with homemade zipguns.

We've been building decent guns for hundreds of years. You don't need computer controlled anything to make a working firearm for murder or self-defense.
