Yes but doing so is a lot more complicated and error-prone. Most people don’t have metal smithing equipment at home, or the space or training to use it to manufacture a useful gun. Plus operating an unregistered firearm is illegal in most places.

You can do this at a dining table or a desk or a kitchen counter, it doesn’t take a lot of space, and you can learn to do it in an afternoon.

You don’t need all of that to make a gun. You just need a 3D printer. Shit, all you really need is a pipe, hammer, and nail.
Sure, if you only want to fire it once and you don’t really care if it hits what you’re aiming at.
Tell that to shinzo abe
You can keep the gun, I just want the Bulleits.
