Friends and I have built a number of 3D printers using general purpose parts like stepper motors, steel rods, and plastic parts made with other 3D printers. Anyone capable of building a gun at home with a 3D printer, also has the skill required to build the 3D printer itself. Next they will try to restrict people from owning a drill press or a welding torch. Or from owning rubber bands and rocks, lest someone make a slingshot. This sort of law is proposed by the same types of idiots that think the existence or CSAM is grounds to backdoor encryption.
