You can’t manufacture a gun for somebody else unless you’re a registered gun manufacturer. You can only make one for yourself. You can hypothetically sell/give a printed gun to someone if when you made it you didn’t intend on selling or distributing it, however many states require you to transfer that firearm via a dealer.
You would have to give/loan your cancer patient a 3d printer and maybe suggest a URL. They would have to construct the firearm themselves without help.
Sure you can. Nobody is going to stop you. Law enforcement will show up after to push brooms around and take notes, but you will already have achieved your goal.
Eh. Aligning your organization with a patron politician or police organization is how you get away with murder.
The Italian and Jewish Mafias of the 1960s were paramilitary wings of the anti-Communist movement. Once Communism was officially squashed in the 90s, they got rolled up quick.

You worry about the legality of printing a gun when you want to give it to someone to use for murder?
There’s an old saying, “Never commit a misdemeanor in the middle of your felony.”
Commit one crime at a time. Trying to break this is what has gotten many big fish.
Remember, they picked up Capone on tax evasion.
Indeed, don’t be the dumbass who gets caught trying to hide a body because you got pulled over for speeding.
Organized crime worries about legal issues all the time, and their whole purpose is crime.
Limiting liability, and plausible deniability, is a cornerstone of literally getting away with murder.

What about pieces of a gun?
What if five people printed five different parts and traded them?
What if the pieces have multiple purposes, only one of which is part of the assembly of a gun?
