"As shipped, Ghost Gunner manufactures mil-spec AR-15 and AR-308 lower receivers to completion. With simple tools and point and click software, the machine automatically finds and aligns to your 80% lower to get to work. No prior CNC knowledge or experience is required to manufacture from design files. Legally manufacture unserialized AR rifles in the comfort and privacy of your home."



That's just another level of indirection.

"I'm not selling guns, I'm selling machines that automatically make guns."

"I'm not selling malware. I'm selling random bitstrings. Here's the email of someone who sells a different kind of random bitstrings, and here's a URL where you can download an AES implementation."

You still need someone with the technical know-how to make that machinery, and the commercialization of such machinery is very easy to regulate because pretty much only industries use CNC machines.

Computers, on the other hand, are everywhere.
