Well for starters you'd have to have all parts scanned. That would mean any moving parts or hidden parts would be tough, you might have to take the gun (or whatever else apart) to make sure everything got scanned, then put it back together.
Basically things with more parts, and more moveable parts, are going to be tougher and tougher and eventually impossible. You want things that are made of few pieces, and easily visible.
Though eventually I'm sure the technology might start using x-ray or similar techonologies to see through the surface of objects and replicate even more complex objects.
That is a very good point though, Flashpoint. As our technologies get more and more impressive it's going to be very important to really study possible uses and put more emphasis on morality studies.
