The $1,200 DIY Gunsmithing Machine
An anonymous reader writes: You may recall Cody Wilson as the man behind the world's first 3D-printed gun. He built a company behind the ideals of DIY gun-making, and now he's come back with another device: the "Ghost Gunner," a CNC mill designed to create the lower receiver of an AR-15 rifle. "That simple chunk of metal has become the epicenter of a gun control firestorm. A lower receiver is the body of the gun that connects its stock, barrel, magazine and other parts. As such, it's also the rifle's most regulated element. Mill your own lower receiver at home, however, and you can order the rest of the parts from online gun shops, creating a semi-automatic weapon with no serial number, obtained with no background check, no waiting period or other regulatory hurdles. Some gun control advocates call it a "ghost gun." Selling that untraceable gun body is illegal, but no law prevents you from making one." Wilson's goal is still to render government gun regulation useless, even as debate rages on banning this kind of manufacturing.
I love how these folks think that civilization is created when people are ready to kill each other at a moment's notice.
Not to mention the hilarity of a white man complaining about being "humiliated" by the state. Why don't you have a conversation with some people of color? Ask a black man what he has to go through on a daily basis to try and avoid being killed by the state. Ask a Native American about humiliation at the hands of the government.
The solution to these problems doesn't involve picking up more weapons. It involves putting them down.
If you're black. White people can bring semi auto rifles into Walmart and the police don't give a fuck.
I am kinda curious where this 'the 2nd amendment is so we can keep the government in check' idea came from. Historically it is complete nonsense.
