Blocked from giving away 3D-printed gun blueprints, man will sell them instead

I know - my step dad has a CNC mill and 3D printer. Still, it's illegal to own something like that without a licence. Watch this to understand why it would still get you in trouble:

I love the Forgotten Weapons channel and seeing how guns work, even if I personally find their wide distribution in some places concerning. I get why people like guns - I'd like to fire one some day - but I'd rather they were tightly regulated.
If someone in the UK was dead set on killing a lot of people quickly, they'd have to be deliberately going for that goal playing on hard-mode by using shitty exploding gats that can only be manufactured by a very spendy printer instead of just renting a van or something and driving it into a particularly busy sidewalk.
I wouldn't be too worried. There isn't demand for firearms in the UK outside of government, sporting and pest control uses. I doubt our firearm legislation would loosen in the face of this. Even then, since self-defence weaponry in general, let alone firearms, is also illegal, a firearm is overkill for your common crook who only targets law-abiding citizens. With the current state of the technology, if they do see the need for a firearm it'd be their last choice.
I will say though the fear politicians have over this idea of a 3D printed mass shooting is kind of hilarious, because if you can afford one, you're well off enough to afford buying black market guns

Here's something that's actually usable for more than a shot or two:

It's not like you can't find this stuff in the first place. Anyone with half a brain and a drill press can make this, 3D printed guns are quite literally a joke in comparison.
They actually recently raided a building and found a workshop where people were making firearms illegally.
The fun fact is they raided it over a TV licence not because they were suspected of any firearms offences.

No, I'm not so certain you're a crypo-anarchist there, dude.
y'all remember the dude that built an AK-47 out of a stable shit shovel?
I wonder if they're gonna go after Home Depot next for selling AK-47 receiver blanks.

these things are a joke in terms of being actual firearms, they are less durable than a traditional gun and less concielable than a traditional gun and its still so much easier just to buy a traditional gun.
Its not even like its the first gun you can make at home, plans have existed for decades to do that.
I'm not normally super pro gun but there's no harm from these things.
