This much I agree with. 3d printing has never been the easiest or most effective way of making your own gun. It's a complete meme which caught on because 3d printing captures the imagination in a unique way. Just mentioning 3d printing gets people to suspend critical thought.
Case in point: "3D-Printed Bullets Exist, And They're Terrifyingly Easy To Make" https://www.huffpost.com/entry/3d-printed-bullets_n_3322370 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/3d-printed-bullets_n_3322370
The "3d printed bullet" is a fucking joke, why would anybody shoot a slug of 3d printed plastic instead of.. I don't know, a fucking rock? A fishing weight? Casting their own bullet? It makes no sense, but you get a breathless panicking article from HuffPost about it anyway because ooooooo 3d printing.
