I think we will all agree this is heading to the supreme court. Congress will need to put a law in place which says you are not allowed to print a gun. Plastic gun are only illegal from a detection standpoint. From the Federal law stand point it does not say you can not make or own one, just not allow to carry it somewhere that does not allow it to be detected by a screening system.

Would your imagined legislation only limit designs for a digital printer, or would it go so far as outlawing hard-copy books that teach someone how to build a firearm by hand?
