You can easily create a firearm with a short length of steel pipe and a nail. I don't know how this will do anything. Plus people can just drive to another state.

It will be effective in 3d printers gaining attention for having the ability to print firearms

Obviously no respectable criminal would use a pipe gun without a 3d-printed ergonomic handle.
