The rhetoric is paranoid and way crazy ("This is an incredible force for liberty"), but this is a piece of truth in the whole gun control debate.
The law is not, will not, and cannot be prepared for what technology will bring in the next 5 years.

Do you REALLY think that criminal elements won't avail themselves of this technology if the things they want are outlawed?

Where is my 3d printer?

Wait a minute. Do you mean to tell me that, were we to outlaw gun ownership, there would still be ways to procure them? Do you mean to further imply that exactly the sort of person who we do not want to be in possession of a gun now would be the same sort of person who would avail themselves of such a means whereby to procure a firearm, thereby rendering our carefully crafted gun control measures rather moot?
You, sir, must be some kind of robot man made of an alloy of liesonium and slanderminium.
Come tax time I'm building my reprap, it's way over due.
Yeah, but in seriousness, the question has never been whether or not outlawing or restricting gun rights will stop criminals from getting them. Yes, criminals will want to and try to get them. But as things are now we're making it easy. And we're making it easy to get a lot of them. There are places (like Japan) where there is very strict gun control and most criminals don't have them. It does not solve all their crime problems (yakuza regularly commit murders with swords still today), but it does make it harder to commit violent crimes. Weapons without triggers typically can't kill 30 people in 30 seconds.
