Thus brings up a key point of property law: you can't prevent people from owning things that are simple enough. Hence why no matter how strict you make gun laws you'll still have to deal with a black market of shotguns and blunderbusses and anything else that can be made from common materials. To try and control the materials themselves would be a ridiculous treadmill.
