“Technology has gone over and beyond now that you can make your own guns from a printer, that's a bit much,” said one gun owner.

Some guns rights advocates are trying to develop the guns and are currently testing the parts.

“The one shot plastic gun?  Well, not a good thing,” said Joe Rice, of the Palm Beach Shooting Center
