It's been legal since the dawn of the USA to manufacture your own firearms.
Yeah that was conceived and written at a time where you had to hand carve and forge a single shot breech loading rifle. You can espouse history all you want, but asserting unbounded rights in the face of dramatic technological progress is not a healthy attitude towards society.

At the time the Second Amendment was ratified, private individuals could, and did, own fully armed and crewed warships and field artillery pieces. > You can espouse history all you want, but asserting unbounded rights in the face of dramatic technological progress is not a healthy attitude towards society. So you're arguing that the First Amendment doesn't apply to the Internet, then?
