No. Primers (what make the gun go bang) are made by highly delicate manufacturing processes using some real nasty chemicals. There are only a few factories on the world that actually create primers.

There is absolutely zero way they can control the software or machines to prevent weapons production. They print what the code tells them to, just like a CNC machine.
Even if they could control it, by doing so they would severely impact the already terrible domestic manufacturing market and all the little to medium sized shops will no longer exist.

You'd be wrong, unless you're talking about flintlocks which haven't been in wide use for 100 years.
