The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. A future of freedom is not inevitable. You have to do something to make it a reality.
Of course, a future without the need for firearms is what we should all strive for. Unfortunately in the current day we have armed thugs calling themselves police and government that employ violence as a means to coerce compliance from a tacit population.
I hope one day to witness a raise in consciousness to the level that government is abolished and violence is replaced with freedom. That day seems distant. Disarming of a general public, subject to armed governments, will not bring us there any sooner.
I like how @maxigan puts it; "if governments want to get rid of all the guns, that's fine... we should tell them YOU FIRST."
The problem I have with 3D printed guns is they have a limited life due to the material. The really bad problem is that you won't really know how long that life is until, maybe, you get hurt. Otherwise, I life the idea of our ability to have a more uncensored life and more freedom of choice.
that's a good point, the liberator is not really a very good gun, it would be easy to make a better gun at home, the whole point of it is just to test the laws. There is a desktop CNC milling machine that you can get now that can finish metal 80% lowers, but of course you still have to be able to legally possess whatever gun you make for it to be legal.
Unarmed people are far more likely to experience Hell on Earth than armed and dangerous people– as in the Gulag, as in Auschwitz and Dachau, as in the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
Cool fan-fiction. Is that why america has more gun deaths per capita than countries that have common sense gun control like in europe? Is that why denmark is the happiest country on earth?
Oh, it's probably because they are smarter than us and realize that this shit is fucking stupid and you're a fucking brainwashed drone dumbfuck.

"And it can't stop people from downloading them and manufacturing them with ease at home using a personal 3D printer"
No, that's where your argument falls apart, if you are not allowed to possess a gun then you are not allowed to make one whether you use a 3d printer or a hacksaw, drill and $30 worth of black pipe. Any felon who printed a gun would be treated no differently from any other felon found in possession of a gun.
This ruling was good and important because it affirmed that information and plans are not actually guns and are protected under the first amendment.
are we assuming they are not monitoring your internet and credit card activity? If we assume they are not doing that they can bust you when you use it or while transporting it, like they do any other person who is possessing a gun they are not allowed. If you leave it at home in a drawer, and don't commit any other crimes that cause your house to be raided, then you should be fine. If you have a clean record and you can legally own a gun then you can legally make any gun you are allowed to own. It would be very illegal to try to sell it without a manufacturers permit.
Certainly selling it wouldn't be the point as anyone can make one of their own. The government now and soon will have no idea how many 3D printed firearms are in people's houses. They don't have the resources to effectively monitor every person's Internet for a questionable download. There are also secure means of transmitting information over the Internet. Plans can be passed along by hand on USB sticks as well. This development certainly gives the civilian populace more teeth against a would be despotic government.
In fact you can buy a desktop CNC milling machine and all of the files on a USB drive to finish 80% receivers.

assuming they could get bullets and all the other parts needed to make guns, we can in the US but that is only because we don't currently have a despot in charge.
It was already fairly easy to finish 80% receivers and make black pipe shotguns and I assume that this will be just as popular as that. You can also make an AK receiver by printing out a template that you glue on an appropriate piece of square stock and then drill out with a drill press.

Before long the personal 3D printer in your home will print with a variety of materials, including durable metal alloys.

?????????????????
That's what happens after strict gun control laws are established in Europe, this sort of thing happens there:
cool propaganda.
Here in America we are living in one of the safest, freest places and times in the history of the world.
Delusional.

How would they know if you did it?
