That's still unlikely, even in the future.  The physics involved in creating the ideal firearm make the machine inherently complex and, therefore, expensive.  It may be cheaper.  It will never be cheap.

The physics involved in making the ideal smart phone are inherently complex, and at first were incredibly expensive.  Capitalism has a habit of discovering ways to make things faster, better, cheaper.

Yet here we are, 4 generations into the process, but no one is making smart phone chips in their kitchen, are they?  There's a reason for that. 

Not quite.  3D printing technology isn't even out of its infancy yet--let alone 4 generations.  That is the reason people aren't printing smart phone chips in their kitchen yet.

Right now economies of scale still rule in industrial production.  That may change once 3D printing gets out of its infancy. 

Or are you a member of the school who in 1988 believed that no one would want to ever own a cell phone and pay a dollar for a local call on the street when the nearest payphone is a quarter.  BTW good luck finding a payphone.  I have employees that don't even know what payphones are!
