In context here, a “gun” is legally the serialized part. For a Glock-style firearm, that’s the frame. (For an AR-15, it’s the lower receiver.") You can legally buy all the parts without a background check except the frame. Legally, ptinting a pistol frame us printing a firearm. And it’s perfectly legal to do so, as long as you aren’t selling or giving them away (e.g., personal use).
Yeah but people don’t consider printing a handle to be a “3d printed gun” unless you’re trying to ban their existence entirely.
