In reply to DaveK.

“you might need learn how to make black powder,…”

Charcoal from cooking toilet paper black in a metal paint can on a hot fire, sulfur powder from the garden center, and potassium nitrate from animal or human urine, and you have perfectly serviceable black powder.

Mix ingredients well with a bit of water, ‘corn’ it through window screen and dry…

In reply to Chris T in KY. Afghanis are masters at firearms manufacture (small-scale, of course). If you want a match-lock hunting rifle, they can do it. And if you want an AK-47, they can do that too.

You don’t even need a 3D printer… the assassination of Japan’s prime minister was done with a home-made weapon made from assorted scrounged parts (none were 3D printed). In the long run, the only thing even slightly difficult to obtain to make a home-made firearm is the powder… you might need learn how to make black powder, but you might also be able to make do with something like match-heads.

The genie is well out of the lamp, and won’t be re-captured.

In reply to Jeff. You're conveniently ignoring the people that set the rules and laws for the CEO's to play by.

Thanks to Luigi for showing that the biggest murderers are CEO’s and gun people are 2nd.
Keep this going.

In my day there were just called “zip guns.”

Now you have an educated white people with their college degrees. Who now prefer to call them with “3D printed guns.”

People forget that a Japanese assassin used duct tape to hold the zip gun parts together, that were used to assassinate a former prime minister there.

Educated white people with access to technology, have simply produced a better quality zip gun.

The 3D printed craze hasn’t caught on in Africa. Their zip guns are still handcarved.

Archeologists have found evidence, in ancient cave dwellings in Iraq, that even those deep ancestral people were making ghost guns using a mixture of sand and tar, molded and cured in the sun. These were low-power devices which fired pointed sticks precisely fitted to the barrel. The propellent seems to have been made from powdered dung and distilled tallow. No one is quite sure how it was ignited. Research continues.
