If you want to build a firearm (semi-auto) at home in the US it isn't even illegal.

Incorrect. The only limitation is you can't make an NFA weapon (automatic, etc) or build it out of more than 10 imported parts.

"Firearms may be lawfully made by persons who do not hold a manufacturer’s license under the GCA provided they are not for sale or distribution and the maker is not prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms. "[1]

So you are disputing that it's not illegal? Or something?
I think they likely misparsed the parent comment. :)
Haha... yup, misread the parent!
