The problem is we decided to regulate the one piece of a firearm that's now the easiest to 3d print.
Everything else you can buy online.
If we regulated barrels instead, people couldn't make a Glock at home. And they definitely couldn't make an AR
I think you vastly underestimate the gunprinting community, but it would make it more difficult for some people.
Yeah, go ahead and 3d print a barrel and let me know how that works out...
A barrel isn't a straight pipe either, you'd need a CNC machine
I realize this isn't what they're printing in this case, but look up the FGC9. It's designed to be made with hydraulic tubing and a 3d printed jig to elctro-discharge machine the rifling inside.
It's perfectly possible to machine a gun barrel in your garage. Difficult, yes; prohibitively so, no. But like the other commenter said, it would at least cut down on homemade firearms
