that's true. I should have specified that a lot of the purchasable (fully and unquestionably in the right) stuff just sell CAD files for 3d printed parts, or print the parts for you. The more questionable ones sell ghost gun kits

It is illegal for them to print the guns for you (unless they have their FFL; and Manufacturers license; and they NICs check you, and engrave a serial number, company name, and location of manufacture in accordance with ATF rules.) And the "ghost gun kits" are 80% complete lowers, which you have to mill the remaining bits yourself or else it is subject to all the above rules as well.

They can sell the .stl files though, or freely offer them.
