    interesting thanks, it's just that i know you can build a 3d printer, or even if you buy one, can't you start making guns instead of having to import or reactivate them - i guess I'm wondering more how it will affect the trade more than for the individual - though with more guns around it gets more possible to get one ofc

    like will we start to see illegal manufactories I wonder?

      i mean, you can make a gun out of anything really, from godawful pipe, nail and a plank of wood shotguns to the sten submachinegun
      the 3d printer just makes it easier, and less skill/labour intensive
      the problem will be ammunition, if you are going to build something that fires shotgun shells or rifle rounds, you could get them from a gunshop if you had a license, but anything that fires pistol calibre rounds, you would have to buy those black market
      with the trade thing, there already are illegal workshops churning them out, mostly (from what I remember) recoil operated submachineguns, you can make them pretty easily from plans on the internet with a cnc lathe
