They're already looking at the use of 3D printers as the impetus for more laws. There is nothing for authoritarians not to love about opportunities for more laws.

I look at laws like this as “gotcha” laws. Made a gun with your 3D printer? You’ll only get caught when they are trying to trump up charges, for some other supposed violation of “mala prohibita.” there is nothing inherently more evil or dangerous to society about making a firearm for your personal use, than purchasing one from “big weapons companies.” They (the state) don’t want you to be able to do that with out permission.
I’m by no means an “anti-state” person, but there are constitutional limits on the state’s powers to tell us what to do, especially when it comes to enumerated rights.
