    It’s not really that easy unfortunately. You can essentially 3D print gun parts now, and you can buy parts separately to make kits pretty easily to get around any kind of restrictions like that.

      If it is so easy to 3D print guns or put together the parts, how is it that gun control measures in other countries are still effective?

        Like Myanmar where gen z is fighting their government partially using 3d printed guns. There are even glocks frames available for printing. The Orca AR just came out, the KF 5 a printable MP5 recently came out for printing.

          It would make it harder for high schoolers and dumb criminals to shoot up schools, unless they are sophisticated enough to build their own guns. Increasing the barrier for entry would not be a bad idea.

        Never thought about it until now, but it’s because they also don’t have access to ammo or ammo making materials in most of those countries. Ammo control is actually the effective part of a gun control plan I guess.
