    fabricating untraceable firearms generally isn’t something rich people do for self defence.

    I take it you’ve never been to the USA? They do it almost constantly as a hobby. 2nd Amendment bullshit.

      It’s highly illegal. There is a massive supply of firearms from large manufacturers, the only reason to make your own as a rich man is because you’re bored AF or you plan to murder somebody.

        It’s highly illegal.

        It’s not, not anymore at least. As of Friday, Trump directed Bondi to do a review and potential roll-back on the Biden-era provisions surrounding ghost guns.

        A lot of the 2nd amendment types LOVE printing ghost guns. They find it amusing, interesting and generally speaking they are firearms enthusiasts. Just because some dipshit already has 20 AR-15s, 8 pistols, 3 shotguns and a sniper rifle, does NOT dissuade them from having a ghost gun.

        This shit is 3 years old. It should provide you some necessary insight.

          I mean its basically the firearms equivalent of building your own retro-console from spare parts. Janky and underpowered compared to what’s on the market from big manufacturers, but much of the point is in the building.
