Essentially they are protesting anti gun legislation by trying to show that advances in technology could get around any ban. I have really nothing against that as it's their right to protest.
The deal is they claim they are "trying" to build a working 3D printed gun that anyone could build at home. Yet all they seem to be doing is trying to replicate a AR-15 to get shock value.
If they were really interested in building a gun from 3D printing, they wouldn't be trying to replicate the AR-15 but rather would build something from scratch. Something designed to be built with plastics. However that probably wouldn't "look" as scary and get the shock value they are going for.
