I think you are correct and your point serves to de-sensationalize the 3D printed gun hysteria. Until 3D printers capable of printing firearms-grade metal, they aren't actually making it easier to for the vast majority of people to acquire firearms who would otherwise have to go through the regulated process. Of course, the entirety of the hysteria is based on the flawed logic that if everyone suddenly has easier(subjective) access to firearms, then everyone will start killing each other.
