Yeah, go ahead and 3d print a barrel and let me know how that works out...

A barrel isn't a straight pipe either, you'd need a CNC machine

I realize this isn't what they're printing in this case, but look up the FGC9. It's designed to be made with hydraulic tubing and a 3d printed jig to elctro-discharge machine the rifling inside.

It's perfectly possible to machine a gun barrel in your garage. Difficult, yes; prohibitively so, no. But like the other commenter said, it would at least cut down on homemade firearms
