People in the modern world can do it much easier with or without a 3d printer.

The govt. is already overreaching in just about every way into our lives. They no longer "govern", but attempt to rule.
Some things work out that way to the good. Some things don't.

But looking at this as if it's something that a legal loophole "allows" isn't realistic.

That's like saying a legal loophole "allows" you to use your intelligence to do just about anything.

I think what you mean is that the govt. should try to find some way to overstep themselves again and try to make something else illegal to add to the thousands of laws that we already have.

Personally, I think the best law is the one that says if you shoot somebody it's a crime. And if you kill somebody it's murder. At least those laws make sense to enforce.
All this other stuff is just unenforceable.
No matter what the govt. does, if a person wants a gun they will get one...or just make one.

Besides the government isn't supposed to be doing all these things. It's supposed to govern, not rule.
