Working gun made with 3D printer

My fear is gangs getting a hold of this technology, imagine a building with several of these machines, and they manufacture say a few dozen firearms a week. Sell them for a decent price where there is probably no way to trace them, since I doubt they have serial numbers, and we are going to have a massive problem.

I'm afraid technology like this will get to the UK and the rest of Europe which I assume has strict gun control laws, save for Switzerland. Don't mess with those lovable lunatics.

If it leaks to the UK, I can see the police forces being incredibly stretched to the breaking point since they're already going through a massive forcewide downgrade thanks to lower funding and manpower problems. Not to mention we don't have an 'aggressive' approach to criminals unless they really are armed, then the gloves come off.

I digress.

I hope my government sees this development, and takes steps.

We are thinking about the same government, right?
