Yeah, 'millions' sounds like a stretch, but it may be a fair estimation.
Presently, over 100,000 Americans per year are injured or killed by firearms (accidents, suicides, homicides). That's over a million in just 10 years.
If it continues to get easier and cheaper to produce untraceable ghost guns and the blue print is made legally accessible on-line, it's conceivable that millions more lives could be put a risk over the next few decades.
At any rate, it's wrong-headed for the government to support making the blueprints available via internet. It's not a free speech issue to me, it's a common sense public safety issue.
