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.

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.
