Until these printed guns become capable of anything more than a single shot, they will never be a threat to modern sporting arms.
I agree, but as quickly as technology progresses and assuming no intervention happens how long before a functional semi-auto appears? A year, maybe less?
We both know someone is actively working on making it happen...

A couple of years ago the prevailing thought was that making a pistol that would actually fire a bullet that didn't have any metal parts other than the firing pin was simply not possible. Obviously it is. In another couple of years who knows what will be possible? This technology is growing by leaps and bounds.

If you haven't been following defense distributed they have already produced a functional lower receiver and standard cap mags. They also produced a fully printable gun that used a nail as a firing pin. Freaked the government out something aweful a couple months back.
Imagine this you have a box in your house capable of producing any non organic material good that you need. Instead of driving to Home Depot you go online and download a file. This is the biggest frick you to the government that you can ever have. In a couple decades its going to completely revolutionize how goods are produced and consumed.
