Transferring a data file that describes a gun, whether it is electronic instructions for a 3-D printer or a conventional blueprint does not constitute a firearm transfer, nor can I see how it ever will. A data file is just a detailed description of a firearm.
The firearm still has to be made, that is, to enter the physical world from the electronic realm. The location where that happens, whether on a 3-D printer, a futuristic "replicator" or by a craftsman with hand tools is the place where "manufacturing" occurs.
You can't shoot a data file!
