Both right and responsibility...

The people are SUPPOSED to defend themselves. It's not a RIGHT, it's a RESPONSIBLITY!
Actually, it is both. It is both a right and a responsibility to own and maintain arms against invaders (and possibly a hostile/corrupt government).
The only question is - too what limit? If I bought a SAM battery and stuck it on my front lawn and started targeting sheriff/coasty copters flying overhead I bet I would be locked up pretty quick. Maybe the same thing should happen to those who own assault rifles to go 'sport' hunting. A balance needs to be found...
Assuming the site is from the US, I don't see why it would or should be illegal.
And if the site wasn't from the US, then it would
be promoting terrorism and a serious threat to national security?

Have you any idea how irresponsible this is. I was shocked, and showed it to my Irish co-worker just to check it wasnt just me. He too was shocked and said "whoever thinks that is cool should go live in Belfast for a while" which I think just about sums it up.
Im not sure which is most irresponsible. Making the thing, doing a website about the thing, or publicising the thing as being "cool".

Last thing we need right now is for terrorists to get hold of WMDs
First off, quit being a chicken-shit. Terrorists are not the ones you should be worrying about at this point. The Federal government is currently detroying the American way of life 10 times faster than every terrorist in the world could even dream of. Besides, depending on how you look at the situation, a terrorist could be considered a freedom fighter. Consider the American Revolution. The Colonists wanted freedom from the world's established Super Power of the time (England), but knew they could not win against them using the conventional war tactics of the time. So, they fought in ways considered by the British to be without honor, and without proper military tactics, terrorist tactics if you will. The Colonists attacked the British food supplies, burned houses containing British families, hid behind things while they shot at the British soldiers, all things that were considered to be terrorist tactics at the time. Good thing for us George Washington used those tactics.
Now, that being said, I don't care for the current "Terror regime", and figure the best way to get rid of "terrorists" in the U.S. is, rather than restrict the freedoms of U.S. citizens, the government should issue every last one of us assault rifles, and invite Osama over here for a little game of cat-and-mouse.
Also, if you consider a mortar that chucks a bowling ball a Weapon of Mass Destruction, you'ld better go running to your mommy, and hide sniveling and crying behind her skirts, because you obviously have no concept of anything. Anyone, anywhere in the world can get weapons with way more destructive power than bowling balls.
I think the article was a "blast", and the links throughout to other projects like it. Get a grip, punk, the terrorists don't give a shit about these projects.
-- For those who describe their systems as 'boxen', do you order multiple 'boxen' of corn flakes also?

Thats a great idea. Lets walk out into the rifle range, back into the bushes where shooters cant see us.
The last thing we need is high school kids building this type of thing. I'd make a joke about Columbine in the context of bowling, but I'm too tired.

Hmm. The NRA's selective quoting at work, again. The second amendment reads:
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. "
Now, I'm not sure what part of "well regulated militia" this thing falls into.
