In the UK, you could go down to the hardware store, pick up some pipes, plumbing fixtures and other assorted supplies for well less than £50, and make yourself a shotgun that would be far more reliable and effective than those plastic guns. With a smartphone that can watch youtube videos, you can even find teenagers in Appalachia that will walk you through the process, step by step.
Presumably the UK does not currently have an epedemic of gangbangers going to hardware stores to build shotguns, so why should more expensive, less effective 3d printers be a concern?
i dont think they will be a concern at all. my point was solely that the effect will be greater and of more use in countries where gun laws are more restrictive.
