    Why should I be prevented from manufacturing my own firearms? Gunsmithing is a perfectly legal hobby and I don’t understand why new technology needs to change the laws. Just continue enforcing the manufacture of and sale of illegal weapons. My 20g shotgun had a little plastic bit crumble in the hard grip, should it have been illegal for me to 3d print it’s replacement because it was involved in the manufacturing of a firearm?

      Not all countries allow open ownership of weaponry. Most don’t allow this kind of stuff.

      I am most definitely opposed to randoms making modifications to their weapons even if they have licensing to own a firearms.

          Anything of relevance to the “class” of your gun. If you really need it, you can file the right documentation. I am assuming flashlights are not relevant.
