But you need something better than a 3D printer for bullets. So if bullet sales are regulated, there is no need to regulate 3D printing.

They do that too, but they still let people buy motor vehicles, with which they can drive to Nevada or Arizona to purchase ammunition.

Aside form high powered stuff you can get away with pure lead bullet.

Making bullets is trivial. It's black powder, a case of metal (brass, aluminum, etc), and some molten lead.

This doesn't even address the constitutional right. You can't ban the printing press and claim it doesn't affect the freedom of speech.
