We are 5 years away from anyone:
1 Buying a block of plastic and a box of springs
2 Downloading a CAD schematic of their favorite gun
3 Printing it in their garage
4 Assembling it with instructions simple enough for any idiot to follow
5 loading it with legal ammo
6 shooting whoever they want with a complete, untraceable, fully-automatic weapon
Unless they get serious about blocking ammunition, all the gun control laws they can imagine will be null in the real world anyway

Making bullets isn't rocket science either. We have a decent size metal stamping department with presses that spit out an average of 200 parts per minute. I had to do the math, but if we ran all of our presses and just made brass casings we could turn out over 4 million bullets per 8 hour shift. I'm not suggesting that we would do that. But the black market would be a goldmine for those garage outfits that want to put a few presses in their garage.
