Neither the gun nor the switch is 3d printed in that video.
But to answer your question, you can make a firearm from actual trash if you’re sufficiently motivated. Look at the different guns Abe’s assassin made from a couple of years ago, he even made his own ammunition because of it’s lack of availability in Japan. Is the point of gun control as it currently stands to limit access to firearms period or to limit their access to good and more easily available weapons? I would say it is realistically the latter, though crossbows and air rifles are completely legal for people who are barred from owning firearms to obtain and use which sort of invalidates that too.
Not to mention that under US law black powder guns are not legally considered firearms.
While that’s technically a loophole, it’s left in place to allow poor people in rural areas to supplement their food budget with hunting even if they have a felony conviction.
Which, tbh, many felonies shouldn’t be felonies and nonviolent felons should have a path back to rights both ballot and (normal centerfire/rimfire) bullet, imo
