I'll tell you something else, too: I believe guns will become completely illegal in my lifetime. Because 3D printing is soon going to make any kind of partial restriction meaningless. They'll have to ban them entirely, including possession and dissemination of the patterns, in order to have any hope of controlling the criminals. Obviously there will still be a black market, but it'll be like child pornography: the kind of thing you go to jail just for owning.
