There is no such thing as "So much for gun control".

Yeah, righty'o.
The title was a bit tongue in check. Meaning that with the advent of consumer grade devices like 3d printers. Hobbist milling machines and lathes it is now possible to download plans for things and make them without having the specialist knowledge you use to need. 10 years ago having a lathe or milling machine at home was very expensive, let alone a CNC machine. Both of these are readily available now and are cheap and pretty accurate. 3d printing adds a whole new perspective.
Manufacturing a gun lower or upper on a printer is not of much consequence, because you can already manufacture that stuff with CNC mills at home.
You are seeing an emerging technology, if you get caught up trying to pick holes in how successful it is now you are missing the point of what the future holds.
