There is no way to determine if a home made gun started at "80%" or somewhere less than that. Only thing an 80% restriction would slow would be online sales. But the people always find a way. Affordable desktop CNC mills like the Ghost Gunner will become commonplace. People will continue to make guns at home, one way or another. It's part of our culture now.
If they banned home manufacture completely with a felony if caught in possession of un-numbered gun...that would convince many to stop. (But these tyrants won't do that, at least not yet. Because it would literally require a gun confiscation or paid registration of all existing un-numbered guns. They're not quite ballsy enough to try that yet).
But an 80% ban? That's meaningless.
