If you actually need an explanation of how this country's views on guns are not just insane but, in the words of Stephen King, "crazy as a shithouse rat," then there's nothing I can do to help you.

You know what else is used to exchange child porn? linuxman Oct 2014 #25
My bet is that cash is used to buy kiddie porn more than bitcoin. TampaAnimusVortex Oct 2014 #97
Well that's interesting. ZombieHorde Oct 2014 #3
So those responsible, law-abiding gun nuts are a myth. Time to end Hoyt Oct 2014 #4
Kindly point out for us what illegal thing you think the "gun nuts" are doing friendly_iconoclast Oct 2014 #5
You really don't get it. Lots of things are legal that aren't good for society. Hoyt Oct 2014 #13
"Lots of things are legal that aren't good for society." What are *you* doing to change things? friendly_iconoclast Oct 2014 #14
Republican governors, senators, congress people, etc , see gunz like you. Hoyt Oct 2014 #17
"Republican governors, senators, congress people, etc ," also claim the sun rises in the east friendly_iconoclast Oct 2014 #43
You also haven't told us what *you're* doing (aside from posting online) to change things friendly_iconoclast Oct 2014 #44

You skirted the question that was asked of you NickB79 Oct 2014 #19

Thet won't use it on gunz. Right wing racists are the main obes arming up. Hoyt Oct 2014 #61
Know a lot of RW racists do you? GGJohn Oct 2014 #62
Where I live, yes, and all are into gunz. I suspect it's much the same whrre you Hoyt Oct 2014 #63
I don't know any RW racists, I do have a lots of friends who own lots of firearms GGJohn Oct 2014 #64
Can I get an answer to my question in post #62? GGJohn Oct 2014 #73
I gave you an answer, you didn't like it. It's my experience, NRA leadership is made up of racists, Hoyt Oct 2014 #74
I could be wrong, but joeglow3 Oct 2014 #76
"Go to any gun show, mostly right wing racists." EX500rider Oct 2014 #77
Your photo does not suggest a lot of diversity. Michael Moore believes there's a connection. Hoyt Oct 2014 #82
"lack of diversity" not the same thing as "RW racists" now is it? EX500rider Oct 2014 #84
Sorry, I disagree. Too many right wingers, confederate and Tparty flags (inside and out), Hoyt Oct 2014 #86
This has got to be, by far, one of the most ridiculous things I've GGJohn Oct 2014 #114
Depending on where such a photo is taken, the entire area may lack diversity. NutmegYankee Oct 2014 #85
Not my office Duckhunter935 Oct 2014 #80
Ok, thanks for the answer. GGJohn Oct 2014 #81
I gave you evidence earlier. Also see Post #86. Hoyt Oct 2014 #87
Either you hid it, or you are seeing things. There is no "evidence" there. n/t oneshooter Oct 2014 #88
Better evidence than you have that gunz are good for societym Hoyt Oct 2014 #89
Not really, my family comes first. oneshooter Oct 2014 #90
Howsabout refuting what Michael Moore and others say. Hoyt Oct 2014 #91
Don't change the subject, you still need to show proof of what you said. n/t oneshooter Oct 2014 #92
Howsabout you provide citable evidence with links, and I don't mean GGJohn Oct 2014 #94
I asked for citable evidence with links, GGJohn Oct 2014 #93
You guys have no evidence to refute that racist right wingers are the majority of those Hoyt Oct 2014 #95
And aparently YOU have no evidrnce to back up your slander. n/t oneshooter Oct 2014 #96
As usual, they're... friendly_iconoclast Oct 2014 #104

Interesting, notice how many gungeoneers on that thread have been PPR'd. Hoyt Oct 2014 #107

Remember a certain World's Foremost Authority On Gun Owners And How They Think... friendly_iconoclast Oct 2014 #111
That *might* carry some sting coming from someone who practiced the ethics they preach friendly_iconoclast Oct 2014 #110

Really, this is seriously scary. Initech Oct 2014 #18
What law is being broken? linuxman Oct 2014 #24
Banksters didn't always break laws either while the ruined the economy. Hoyt Oct 2014 #32
I know several people wo have finished an AR15 lower for personal use. linuxman Oct 2014 #34
Depends on what they do with it. There are gungeoneers here who think Hoyt Oct 2014 #38

Confiscation. krispos42 Oct 2014 #52
It's always been legal to make your own gun - you just can't sell or transfer them aikoaiko Oct 2014 #6
Of course you can only build non serialized lowers ileus Oct 2014 #7
Can you gift them? nt Logical Oct 2014 #15
No. No transfer whatsoever aikoaiko Oct 2014 #21
Not true Travis_0004 Oct 2014 #39

I'd be very surprised...... sendero Oct 2014 #8
You would be incorrect... Oktober Oct 2014 #10
100% legal for people to manufacture firearms madville Oct 2014 #11
It's perfectly legal as long as you aren't making them for sale or transfer tularetom Oct 2014 #27
Well then, prepare to be surprised. GGJohn Oct 2014 #49
no one really traces guns anyway NightWatcher Oct 2014 #12
Yep. And if you are the sort who truly believes you *need* an untraceable gun... hunter Oct 2014 #67
FREEDOM!!!! Iggo Oct 2014 #16
FYI, this machine doesn't create the WHOLE gun at home NickB79 Oct 2014 #20
The reciever is al that you sign your life away for, though. MohRokTah Oct 2014 #100

How is it that this wonderful technology has come to be logosoco Oct 2014 #23
A CNC machine? linuxman Oct 2014 #26
Actually I am somewhat familair with CNC, my husband works in plastic molding. logosoco Oct 2014 #31
I see. I thought you meant automated machining in general. linuxman Oct 2014 #33
And its not like a used bridgeport mill is that expensive. N/T beevul Oct 2014 #46
Looks cool. linuxman Oct 2014 #28
$1,200 to make one lower receiver? tularetom Oct 2014 #29
I think ultimately someone can sell them, but yesiwasacop Oct 2014 #35
Don't get me wrong, I think this thing is pretty cool and I can see a lot of potential tularetom Oct 2014 #36
There is a lot of paperwork to get a 07 FFL Travis_0004 Oct 2014 #40
I think you miss the point. Next year these will be 300 dollars. In 5 year or less, 75 bucks. TampaAnimusVortex Oct 2014 #98
Nothing against the law about this. LittleBlue Oct 2014 #30
I agree, technology will only get better. With over 300 million guns out there who cares. nt Logical Oct 2014 #42
Marketing! Merchandising! lumberjack_jeff Oct 2014 #41
Stupid way to make guns... hunter Oct 2014 #47
You can't buy a decent CNC mill for $1,200. I expect that's a lot of what this is. n/t X_Digger Oct 2014 #50
What I was thinking Strelnikov_ Oct 2014 #55
If I had $1,200 laying around, I'd be on it like white on rice. Eyeing a CNC router for woodwork n/t X_Digger Oct 2014 #56
The key word is "decent." Quite a few "build it yourself for a $100" plans on the internet. hunter Oct 2014 #65
Well, more like, "look what I built for <$100", if you click through to the link itself.. X_Digger Oct 2014 #66
Of course they did. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Oct 2014 #53
