How do you feel?
We all know already that 3D printing is the future and we'll all be able to just make our own guns anyway. When that happens, the entire argument will be over [glow=black,2,300]assuming it's not already[/glow] so you better get your word in while there's still time left!
3d printed guns aren't in any way reliable though and won't be unless we can start printing steel
But I think it's better to keep laws as they are since the problem is with crazy people and not the guns themselves. Hell, after the whole Christopher Dorner shit and the LAPD shooting up some random old lady because they thought she was a large black ex-officer, I think it's pretty important to have a way to defend ourselves from them.
I don't have any problem with making laws that make it harder to buy/obtain a firearm.

it'll still be costly technology that common people won't be able to obtain due to cost and strict regulations

Like opening cans.
And signaling the beginning to footraces.
And as a makeshift drill press.

This only punishes the law abiding citizen. Guns are already readily available, so people who want to get one for crimes, will not care about going through the official channels. If we were starting a country from scratch, maybe that whole more regulation approach might work.
In order to get a firearm where I live you have to:
Fill out a form and enclose $15 and send it off, get a background check and wait 30 days for it to come back.
Go pay $225 for a 2-day class, including transporting yourself out of the city to attend the second day of the class (firing ranges are illegal in the city-- except for the police of course).
Pass the class.
Pay $35 and fill out another form, be fingerprinted and photographed, wait for the background check, wait another 30 days.
Pay $15 for each firearm you bring into the city limits, with a max of 1 every 3 months.
Even after all of this, there is no concealed carry, a magazine limit of 12 rounds, and an assault weapons ban.
Yet, with all these laws, we had over 500 homicides last year.
Really, if there is anything to convince you that gun control doesn't fucking work...

Which is more deaths than in Afghanistan last year (in terms of US forces).
Really, gun rights aren't about guns, it's about the right, and gun control is about control.
Read a book called 72 hours to animal, and see why ahead of financial and social collapse the powers that be want to confiscate weapons.
