Seems like a lot of the fearmongering revolves around printing parts - such as the sear that can convert a semi-auto to full, etc. But those are things anyone with machinist skills can do anyway.

No but you end up in some 4th dimension. So if you think things are bad now imagine hanging out with a bunch of Barnabas Collins.

You know the higher ups in the BATF get boners every time they think about the budget increases they'll request to deal with "cyber trafficking" or whatever else they call this.
