The topic of 3D printed guns is a thorny one , particularly in the U.S., with its constitutionally protected gun access rights. Some levels of amateur gunsmithery seem to be permissible, using 3D printers as one of many tools that can make firearms. However, different states have different laws, and all ‘ghost guns’ aren’t the same.
For example, 3D-printed machine gun conversion kits , being prepared to sell to an undercover FBI agent who claimed to be an al-Qaida operative, got one Oklahoma resident in big trouble recently.

garrett040 "…the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed…" Threatening cops is not good and illegal, but it doesn't matter if the gun is made by Remington, or a blacksmith, or 3d printer. It is legal to posses and manufacture. Reply

IANAL, etc. etc. Reply

IANAL, etc. etc. I disagree. Think about it. In the 1700s in colonial America, you probably didn’t have a lot of large gun manufacturing capability, probably smaller gun smiths. It’s also important to remember they had just squared off against the premier military power of their time and were afraid of a government with that much power. So I think that they were very much about empowering the people, but that said, in those days you were expected to be part of your local militia for your town, etc to provide for defense. Reply
kealii123 The Constitution is pretty clear- you have a right to manufacture arms, own arms, and sell arms. Reply
