No. Lots of the software is open source. Even if they'll make manufacturers to put code that prevents printing of some liberator, people will use old firmware to control the printer.

Also any measures they can come up with can be circumvenented by changing dimensions/priting in more parts than necessary/mirroring/printing more and sawing useless parts/etc - not something you can do with money where end result is fixed.

Also there's only fixed number of designs of $100 bills. There's an infinite designs for guns.
