damn i can build this lol
There is a guy on one of the gun forums that built a AK lower receiver out of a shovel. He still had to buy certain parts and also used some manufactured parts.

The point being is yes if guns were un-attainable legally then there would always be a limited amount of people whom could home build them. However they could in no means mass-manufacturer them. Nothing on the scale of illegal drugs or booze during prohibition, which is why I say it's apples & oranges.

Now on the other hand with advances in 3D printing in the future then it might be much easier and require a very low skill level. One group has already built a AR-15 lower receiver from a home 3d printer but it broke after test firing (however it did work for a short time)

The same group did make a 30 round high cap mag for a AR-15 that did work just fine. The deal here is you couldn't make the barrel out of plastic so you would still need other not so easy things to be made with more than just the home 3d printer.
