As a person who owns 5 firearms himself I would criminalize this activity. It will at least keep law abiding citizens from doing it for the most part. People who already have criminal records are the most likely to break laws.. so tough enforcement when they are caught would be key. I for one don't want to own a plastic gun, and I don't think people should be making them. I don't own a glock for a reason.
I dont see any problem with this, its using new technology to make a gun...big deal, they still cannot and should not infringe upon anyone who chooses to make one. If we start going this route, whats going to happen in 100 yrs or so when some other technology makes guns easier to get or create, heck maybe people could even teleport guns at some point!!

I make my own metal guns now... Why would anyone fool with a plastic gun?

You have no idea what you are talking about.
It is and has been completely legal to build your own firearms.
There are no "plastic guns", polymer is widely used in a few areas of firearm construction, to great success, yet steel is still the mandatory major component.
If you're lucky it might fire once. You would have to have very expensive 3D printer and very expensive material to make it really work. They mentioned $5,000 to $600,000 for a printer ... There was a discussion on NPR last week and even the anti-gun Tech person said no way that the average Schmo can 3D printed gun and have it work. He also cited the extremely expensive cost of hardware and material.
Pretty much hysteria over something that will have minimal impact( at best) on crime or even firearm sales. They're expensive, limited use and just not what a criminal would be looking for.
