Exactly. At a certain point it becomes an excercise in futility for them to even attempt to regulate. Think about all the materials and equipment that COULD be used to manufacture a firearm and then imagine try to regulate and control it all. It's simply not possible.
The Government already does this with high end laser printers (to prevent counterfeit money from being printed) don't believe me check this https://www.eff.org/press/archives/2005/10/16 (this is 4+ years old..). This is not tin foil hattery since an acquaintance of mine got to meet the Secret Service while they performed the other task they have besides guarding the POTUS. I'm pretty damn sure high end CNC's etc have some pretty interesting things in their code as well.
Point being if they can't regulate it they'll just buy off/strong arm/bankrupt anyone that doesn't toe the line. There's more then one way to skin a cat.
