If gangs, people, etc. have the resources to by a 3D printer, how exactly can anyone regulate this?

Current regulations aren’t effective with those segments of society, nor will they with this. I’m guessing if a gang banger pulled one of these, he/she would be laughed out the door.

What about those 1911s that were "printed" in steel? (Every part but the grips and grip screws, IIRC.) Plastic guns are a throwaway.

I haven’t been following this too closely, but wonder how the rifling twist could be incorporated.

MCPO Roger Collins - I have wondered about that also. It would seem that the duplication of the model would be so micro-detailed that every "clone" produced would have the same rifling, and fire bullets that are identically marked by that rifling.

for giggled and grins do a web search on hardware store guns... most of this information has been out there and available long before 3d printing was a thing. One can literally make a pistol or shotgun with parts from home depot or Lowes for next to nothing...
With the availability of a basic CNC machine, one could easily produce a fully functioning pistol (copy of any pistol on the market today) or most "assault weapons".
