You can't load a file on a 3d printer and print a gun either...

On top of that, making a firearm is %100 legal.

    Yes it is 100% legal, I've done it myself. And there are actually single shot pistols you can download and print.

    I'm not in anyway in favor of the legislation, just pointing out that machining a functioning anything isn't as easy as you said.

    Not in California ever since they passed that bill that requires a DOJ-issued serial number on your home made firearm.

    Nope, you can still make up to 3 firearms a year in California without a FFL license.
