How should the printed gun issue be handled?

And also, weren’t second amendment crazies already teaching each other how to work a forge for specific gun parts.

Here we see that with just a barrel, firing pin, feed, ejector, ammunition, and a 3d printer we can manufacture a lethal weapon.

Protip, if you have these parts and a whittling knife you also have a gun after a judicious camping trip.

"Oh no but designs exist for fully 3d printed guns that are really really shitty and worse than what you can make with a lathe and a mill". Can you 3d print a cartridge? That's the killy bit.

I'm not sure how viable it would be to track bullet sales + require some kind of identifying code on bullets, but I imagine that even if it is spectacularly difficult, it would still be more effective and less restrictive than this 3d print censorship bullshit.
