Legally, the frame is the gun. All the other parts needed, including the barrels, triggers, sears, springs, firing pins, etc., are just parts that can be purchased legally in this country anywhere by anyone with no govt involvement - which is the scary part to the author.

But that still doesn’t make them truly 3D printed because you still need all these other more difficult to make parts.

Meanwhile, I wonder how long it will take these whining nitwits to start demanding registration and control of privately held lathes and mills that actually can crank out worthwhile parts to use with those scary 3D printed frames?

And after that what about privately owned grinding stones needed to sharpen knives?

Our whittling knives needed to make pointed sticks?

Or fresh fruit and 10 ton falling weights?

How far down this rabbit hole will the surrender-all-to-government monkeys really go?

I know, silly question.

Those that want government to do everything for people roughly fall into two camps: those ignorant that a government that can do anything for you can do anything to you and those eagerly hoping to do all sorts of stuff to the people once they swallow the bait.
