Is the "Ghost Gunner" CNC machine harmful to the machining/gunsmith industry?

I'm not so sure all the attention this little box is getting is a "good thing". First of all, there is a lot of hand wringing and mis-information out that about just what it is capable of (and we all know how the anti-gunners feed on/get their panties in a bunch with mis-information). Second, it's not going to be too long before some hippie pin head puts two and two together and figures out that people with readily available equipment can make their own "untraceable" firearms (at home if so desired). I can see someone calling for "more government oversight" of anyone who buys the raw materials or purchases metalworking equipment.
Personally I think it's a slick little marketable "gimmick" (but only because I came up with it a couple of weeks ago and am now too late to get something to market ). I can't imagine why I'd buy one as I could get a couple of well made guns just for the price of the box but hey, if it sells....
FWIW
