Let me say this for everyone who is caught up on this bullshit term.

Making a firearm is %100 legal. It's never been illegal and the only reason they're going for printer is because they want to control you.

As someone who dislikes plastic (CNC/milling) I absolutely agree, its a witch hunt

Yep, it's bullshit. You're CNC/milling machine can actually make a firearm, a 3d printer cannon print a full firearm and requires outside and metal parts.
