This ITAR license is separate and in addition to any Manufacturing FFL that you might hold.

That would have been easier to do by saying that you are no longer allowed to make guns for private use, FFL 01 gunsmiths are already prohibited from building on 80% receivers.
This sounds like a huge mess in the making, and we are probably going to see some very confused prosecutors and falsely accused gunsmiths as well. It will be enforced by people who don't know if you're threading a gun barrel or a water pipe, so you will more than likely be guilty until proven innocent. Not even ATF agents are able to tell you exactly how the current laws should be interpreted, so I can already see that the lawyers will the only ones coming out as winners.
