You could actually make as many guns as you want. Although I suppose you would have to still purchase the bullets. The concern arises when you have one of those Waco "cult" situations where they could pretty quickly replicate a small army's worth of firearms.

That's a bit concerning, no?

Unless... everyone started replicating bullet proof armor...
Saw a blog today that immediately made me think of this post. Not guns, but some potentially equally dangerous technology.
