Bro you can make an ak-47 out of a shovel.

The FGC-9 is a gun designed to be built only from common hardware store tools and a shitty 3d printer and has been used by even the myanmar rebel forces who built it themselves. (Also you can build 3d printers themselves from hardware store and hobbyist electronics store supplies).
Guns are just metal tubes with some extra bits, as knowledge and materials get better, making them gets easier. You're making this statement like it hasn't been a common thing for years
You may be right. From my understanding it was quite difficult to build a weapon that is accurate and functional after several shots. Either way it seems quite a bit more involved and more dangerous to the builder than a breadboard and a radio transmitter you can buy off the shelf.
