Guy Creates Handheld Railgun With a 3D-Printer (engadget.com)
turkeydance writes: Using a combination of 3D printing and widely available components, David Wirth built a functioning handheld railgun that houses six capacitors and delivers more than 1,800 joules of energy per shot. So far he has tested the gun using metal rods made of graphite, aluminum and copper-coated tungsten. David has shot projectiles at over 250 meters per second in tests.
If only criminals have guns it will be damn easy to identify them and lock them up.
True-ish, but the devil is in the details... you'd probably need a lot more law enforcers to be able to do that. AKA a "police state".
Sweden respectfully disagrees.
it's in my head
"Uncontrolled immigration", yeah... Another one that has drunk the cool-aid of the now-said-to-be-reformed-racist extremists. The likes of you are more a part of the problem than the solution.
I used to live in one of the said "ghettos" for the first 25 years of my life, and believe me, the crime rate there isn't higher than in the central parts of the big cities, quite the contrary. Also ghetto is a very strong word, so I guess that you have never set foot in one of these areas, nor seen a real ghetto, or else your retorics would be quite different.
The problems in Sweden are with criminals, not immigrants per se. Anyone alienated from society have to find new ways to get by and most does in peaceful and meaning ful ways, forming their own groups within society (sad to see competence wasted this way because we are too stupid and stubborn to let good people find good work). A few turn to crime, but from the criminals I have met more have had "pure" swedish background than being first or second generation immigrants.
But making up "facts" to support one's twisted world view is standard practice within these extremist circles, so I am not surprised at all.
