The Inevitable Death of Gun Control: the Future of Untraceable Homemade Firearms - General

Reminds me a lot of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIhGCRIQnCA I don't mind our country's gun policy too much, but I fuckin' love Forgotten Weapons. I love seeing how guns work and learning their history.

The Defense Distributed guy is such a cringelord

The idea that it's the 'death of gun control' is a huge assumption considering the multitude of different factors that go into using a firearm. What about bullets? What about the laws to do with having firearms? Just because you can print them does not mean you can use them. Just because you can print them does not mean people will print them if they have no need to. I can't fault Reason for looking at it from a US point of view but it still seems like they're claiming too much.

Regardless of fearfulness and gun laws, it is something every country will have to face eventually. However, just because firearms can be home manufactured at a cost, doesn't mean that every culture will have to adopt gun culture.

I wish I was as cool as 25 year old crypto anarchist cody wilson

But during the revolution, how are you going to go up against the world's largest and most advanced military with a stupid crossbow? You'll need at least an AR15.

put a shaped charge or ebay anthrax on it

Or better yet, just wait for the army to implode because the US Armed forces tend to be very conservative and tend to pump out libertarians(for some reason). Ontop of that, combine with the white nationalist, minority gang and drug issues. Any Civil War against the US army will quickly become US Army vs US Remnants.

Even if you can't use it that doesn't stop people from being able to manufacture it

This guy sounds like a total nutter that wishes so badly he was a far cry villain

The internet has made most methods of controlling information almost near impossible. People want to think that simply adding more and more restrictions will dry up the well, but we are already starting to see several places around the world where this has actually become counterproductive. In SE Asia, criminals are now producing their own high-quality reproductions of certain firearms, or in certain cases just building their own designs. It has come to the point where guns which were already illegal pre-restrictions, eventually fill up the criminal market. Someone has already posted the Luty, which is a fantastic example of this. Desperation is the mother of all creation, and criminals are no different in this respect. With how things are being handled by governments, they refuse to address the reasons for criminal activity, and in turn more people start going down the dark path. Because of how profitable illegal/blank firearms are, you'll start seeing people who'll mass produce them with stuff like automatic CNC lathes/3D Printers, and eventually gun crime will reach pre-restriction levels. With this in mind, it's sometimes better to let freedom and liberty be more important then security via the state. Also I want to go on record stating this: Cody Wilson is a a cheeky/cringy cunt. He gives a bad name to the homemade gun community.

I think it would probably be a lot easier to just control the distribution of ammo. You won't be able to 3D print that stuff any time soon.

It's absolutely retarded to think that gun control is going to be dead because a few nutters can make guns in their backyards. The point of gun control is not to remove guns out of the hands of everyone, that's a fools goal, because as long as humanity still possess the knowledge to make a gun, guns will be made. The point of gun control is to keep guns out of the hands of as many malevolents as possible, and restrict their ability to do harm with the weapons they do have. No matter what unless you are a professional gun-smith, there's no guarantee of the reliability of a self-made gun. Individual actors or small groups such as simple burglars, crime-of-passion criminals, and most mass shooters, the kinds of people who are most likely to commit crime with a gun, will not have the resources or technical knowhow to make an effective homemade weapon. The only kinds of people who would are large scale underground organizations like rebel groups, terrorist cells or organized crime syndicates, all of which would have just as many resources to actually buy decent, professionally made weapons rather than relying on 3D printed or home dremmeleed unreliable pieces of crap. This is not the death of gun control anymore than the last 600 years of artisan-made weapons have been...
