    The cat is out of the bag, no? 3d printing guns is a bit of a Pandoras box in regards to gun control. Especially in America where it has been legal for so long

      Federally legal. I didn’t realize it but like 14 states outlaw them and others have prohibitions on parts of them. Honestly, I’m impressed it didn’t break. The idea of making one makes me nervous over safety. I haven’t even been brave enough to print a stock or foreguard simply out of concern. I also don’t trust aluminum casings (if a shell splits it’s likely damaging the barrel or receiver).
