Wanna see people make guns almost completely by hand?

With all the recent MSM induced panic due to "printed" plastic guns, just for a reality check, people has been making guns by hand for generations in the tribal areas of pakistan and afghanistan.. I have first hand knowledge of folks making their own "HIGH" quality firearms here my house right now, it's perfectly legal.

With some skill, you can use few very common and very inexpensive tools and make just about *any* gun you want.. Out of metal...

It is NOT rocket science, the genie has no hope of ever being put back into the bottle.. To the people that think you CAN legislate this sort of thing, what are you going to do, put serial numbers on hacksaws, hammer, and files? Can you legislate the knowledge and skill away?? Call for back ground checks on grinders?

Anything productive to add? Or is this the caliber of replies we can expect from you in the future?

I've noticed that the controllers have been letting their 'reasonable' masks slip more and
more lately. Culture warriors tend not to handle failure very well...

They can't win in court or legislatures.

The "Moms Demand Action" corporate boycotts have failed demonstrably and very publicly.

I think some of them are actually shocked and confused that all the concealed carry laws haven't resulted in the anticipated bloodshed.

Violent crime continues to fall to record low rates. Even some in the media have stopped carrying their water the way they used to.

$50 million + from Bloomberg and his revolving gun control groups has turned into more of an embarrassment, instead of the great victory over the NRA he promised them.

All they have left are tantrums it seems. Well, that and the occasional post hide.

They had an extensive article with pages of pictures showing the cottage industry in Pakistan making everything from side by side shotties, to AK's and S&W revolver copies. No plans or drawings, just a gun to copy from.

All with just hand tools and a home hearth, with a "do it yourself" bellows system for tempering.

Some were very pretty, but I'm not sure I'd trust the quality of the steel from somebody's "barbecue" with smokeless powder.

who is skilled at the operation of a charcoal forge can fashion steel of as good a quality as most other processes.
