No, before 3D printing it was always possible to make a gun in a machine shop. I guess hackerspaces are now as dangerous as machine shops:)

Eddan, isn't there a provision in the 1968 Gun Control Act allowing one to make a firearm for personal use?

Since I haven't seen the plans I'm only speculating, but

#1 lots of steps and tools other than just a 3d-printer. In the video you
can see atleast 10 -15 parts
#2 probably no traces of which 3d printer was used
#3 No. and I would be willing to bet you can only get 1 -2 shoots off
before you have to make a new one
#4 Maybe with enough time and the right plasic, but you probably need
someone way more expensive.

Thanks, Ibrahim. This story is moving like a speeding bullet.

Also seems like Cody Wilson, UT, Austin law student is almost literally
begging to be the subject of a US v. Wilson lawsuit.

Some questions for my 3-D Sudo friends:
Once they make the CAD files available, how many steps would it take for
someone to print their own gun? Would there be (semi-)uniquely
identifying
traces of which printer was used? Can ammunition be 3-D printed by the
same
printer? Would you be able to do this on one of those printers you'll be
able to buy at Staples this summer?

Hold on to your hats, folks ...
