Yeah, you can make a firearm with a piece of bamboo (this is basically what the first firearms were). To think you can restrict anyone from making a firearm is insane. You literally wouldn't be allowed to own anything if the capability of it making parts of a firearm is restricted. Drill press, lathe, and just about any tool should be restricted if that's the requirement.
