How can legislators continue to be the stupidest people who are paid to do a “job”?

Am i missing something, or isn't there already a law saying it's illegal to 3d print firearms there? So this is making it illegal to break the law???? Is there going to be a 3rd law criminalizing the bypass of 3D printer gun blocking bypass blockers?
