Yes, guns are not difficult to make without 3-D printing. The Afghanis make AK-47s in crude workshops, and one guy in the US made one from a shovel. The only issue is making the lower receiver (which is 'the firearm' per BATF) because the other parts are perfectly legal.

The only thing that stops more Americans from building guns is the law -- those capable are mostly law-abiding and those who are criminal mostly aren't capable, or interested as things are now.

It should be added that, if the libs insist on turning gun enthusiasts into criminals, a lot more guns will surely be made illegally, including full-automatics.

There’s a difference between the alleged ease of a competent machinist making a gun vs any of us yahoos buying Mr. Maker from Amazon.com, downloading a free M4 file, dumping in a bag of powdered steel, and having a decent functioning full auto carbine fall out needing little more work than a jigsaw puzzle.
