We punish lots of "victimless" actions. From speeding to attempted murder.

"Airplane pilots have the third deadliest jobs, according to the BLS. Like loggers, pilots are menaced by the threat of malfunctioning machinery and falling heavy objects. "
Yeah, pilots are at risk of falling heavy objects. They tend to be in them at the time.
"Our proposal is for a walkable, medium density, mixed-use community," said Head of Planning Gabriel Metcalf. "This would be not just housing, but jobs of all different kinds, parks and playgrounds, schools and grocery stores, bars and restaurants, hotels and hospitals. Everything that goes into a complete community."

If you can afford a CNC machine, you can afford to have real customers for your machine shop.
Anyways, the low end of the 3d printed firearm spectrum is the "auto-sear", basically altering the fire control mechanism of an already semi-auto weapon to be full-auto. They don't have take the abuse of the actual chamber/barrel, and in criminal usage, probably don't have to be expected to stand up to years of use and thus are ideal for cheap manufacturing, either here or in China.
Small buyers can do similar things, but getting a small rate discount by allowing the power company to kill your AC on the hottest days is not an attractive prospect.
This reminds me, what happened to El Reg having a story on smart electric meters on what seemed like a weekly basis? Has that kerfuffle been forgotten and the media moved on to AI, etc?
Imprisonment is done even when it costs society more money than the convicts make back working as slaves on the chain gang. "Isn't practical" is not an excuse for having a double standard justice system. Since general population would be to high a risk for the imprisoned individual, any President would have to be in solitary confinement, for his own good. The American prison-industrial complex is a tough bitch.
