I run a small Makerspace, I see a teenage boy come in the door every month or so, eye the printers, and ask if they can print a gun .... that gives me a good chance to explain that making your own hand gun is illegal and that using a printer doesn't change that.

You can manufacture firearms for personal use across the US -- even in California -- provided those arms otherwise comply with the law[1].

again you assume that California laws, or even US laws apply everywhere on the planet, they don't - the 2nd amendment is historical curiosity everywhere else
> making your own hand gun is illegal

If true, that's extremely surprising to me as a US citizen.

Please don't make the assumption that many seem to do that US law or the US constitution applies everywhere on the planet
