What did they think was going to happen?
You're going spend public money on 'buying back' ghost guns?
All you're going to do is incentivize guys with a milling machines to make more ghost guns to sell directly to you! And they won't even have to actually work properly, since they're never going to be used!
Houston: If you can make something that looks convincingly like a functional firearm, we'll buy it from you!
Literally prints money.
Gun printer goes BRRRRR
The ending there is probably why they bought the guy's guns.
As soon as he turned up with a box stuffed full of obviously home made guns, they would've known exactly what he was doing. They could have said 'haha, very funny asshole, get the hell out of here', but then what would he do with the giant pile of guns he just made?
LOOOOOOOOL
Was it india that had that snake problem. Then payed people for bringing them snakes. Then had people breeding snakes to sell for a profit. Then stopping the programm that was obviously not working. Then had the breeders let the snakes out so there were even more snakes than before?
Don't need a mill, 3D printer with minimum infill to save on filament
Wasn't there one of these where a guy made 30 shitty guns out of steel pipe, then literally used the profit to buy an actual nice gun?
Thus brings up a key point of property law: you can't prevent people from owning things that are simple enough. Hence why no matter how strict you make gun laws you'll still have to deal with a black market of shotguns and blunderbusses and anything else that can be made from common materials. To try and control the materials themselves would be a ridiculous treadmill.
As is usually the case, the legal guns are the safer option because you can control what is built and make sure its up to standard.
Once you reach homemade , you get guns that explode, do wild unpredictable shit, and generally damage way more people (both the shooter and the shot). A Russian dude who used to work for me has a fucked up hand from a homemade pistol he made literally popping in his palm like a mini grenade.
Homemade guns are more dangerous to the people making them than the public. The hysteria is gaslighting. As usual, most violence is done by niggers with perfectly ordinary manufactured and stolen pistols.
Yeah exactly. Gun nuts are very handy and mechanical people. Many of them have entire shops dedicated to making and reloading their own bullets. Yet they still buy manufactured guns for a reason. And its not because they are such rule loving good boys.
Yes, but there are always exceptions like the Shinzo Abe shotgun.
Banning guns Is a lefty fantasy for a number of reasons. Many of them boat accidents.
Here's the video Bradon Herrera got suspended over, where he recreates the weapon that was used against Shinzo Abe. Even made his own black powder.
YT really wasn't happy.
Which is kind of weird, since he's manufactured actual machine guns before.
And that's an expensive one, a slam fire shotgun is literally two pipes and a nail. Even Japan has shotguns, sourcing shells wouldn't be that hard.
It comes off as a little macabre to exploit the man's murder just after he dies by recreating the weapon for profit.
I disagree. He had mostly positive things to say about Abe, he' a gun channel, and that gun was in the news. I would have done the exact same thing in his position; it's an interesting question to see just how easy or hard it is to create that exact style of gun. It was more about the gun than the death itself.
But, if it makes you feel any better, YT throwing a hissy fit and suspending him probably cost him $20k in missed revenue, so he certainly didn't profit. As he said, he created the most expensive pipe gun in history.
I never said I agreed with the ban. I went and saw the video on Odyssey, and agree it's no big deal. I was just supplying a possible explanation for what happened.
And I never said you did either.
Like YT gives a shit about gravedancing. That's certainly not the issue.
I wonder.
You'd think that Chinese would figure that out by now and a small scale government overthrow would happen.
But it did not.
So I cant help but wonder if it is in fact possible to control the materials themselves.
What I wouldn't give for a solar flare to hit China and shut down their surveillance network.
It would affect the world significantly too, since industry would be affected. The poor in China (and around the world) would suffer the most.
Same argument applies to drugs. I'm not a big "legalize everything" hippy, but I find it ridiculous that the government can punish people for growing plants. If you were talking about a non-native pervasive species growing wild I might understand.
"Ghosts guns are a menace and we need to get rid of them!"
"Here's a bunch of ghost guns for you to get rid of, sir."
"On second thought..."
Literally all that happens with these stupid buybacks is either people making slamfire shotguns for <$10 and turning them in for $200 or people bringing their rusted, banged up Hi-Point with cracked rifling to get money for a new gun.
