The military already has plans for gun owners

I was only suggesting the potential for technology to reach into this issue. The Gun Genie was let out of the bag centuries ago, and anyone who thinks that technology can be somehow walked back by the government is deluded. Nearly everything I need to make a gun in about an hour can be had in a hardware store. It's only a matter of whether I want to shoot carpet tacks or dimes.

Serializing the projectiles for self-loaders wouldn't be difficult for a fully-engaged Nanny-state government. It would come down to cost for them. Self-loaders, while capable of molding/turning their own projectiles, will likely seek the cheaper option and just buy them. I'm the same way about pot and tomatoes. Anyone wanting to make an "illegal" bullet won't be stopped by laws. Which is exactly what hard leftists fail to grok.

And I don't propose banning anything. It's a sure way to drive black market popularity.

 

Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying.

 

And because of this some leftists will automatically assume you're a white supremacist Trump supporter.

What's odd is that they won't immediately assume you're a Crip or Blood member. Why IS that?

 

Because his nick says RetiredHippie?

Just because some people could do that doesn't mean it will be done by everyone thinking of murder with a gun.
If a bump stock can improve shooting multiple rounds in a short time you can also understand that building a semiautomatic gun at your house is not likely to rival the quality of a store bought quality gun, ready for sale to almost any lunatic or criminal with a lack of a conscience. So improving gun control by improving restriction of certain guns to certain folks (asians ...jk here! jeez ), who check a lot of boxes on the unfit to own gun list, is still sensible and valid and doesn't equal 'technology being walked back' as a whole.

Btw I'm not always sure wether you ridicule or not, or for what reason (so i hope you can enlighten me sometimes when I ask for clarification. Thanks in advance )

Sometimes its worth it because getting it illegally can be a hurdle for the average joe. No hurdles, no reason to not go on with a crazy plan.

Explosives (bombs) are legal in the United States.

 

And who is suggesting that?

 

But that's the whole point of "gun control", to eliminate even the slightest possibility, even if it only saves 1, that's justification to take guns away from everybody.

 

Not really. Thanks to McVeigh scoring ammonium nitrate in that sort of quantity triggers all kinds of alarms. Even more than people loading up on sudafed to make meth. A NH4NO3-based bomb requires a shockwave initiator, a really strong one. Like dynamite or compound 4, either of which require a blasting cap.

Most of the homemade bombs we're likely to see from hardware store will be low-order explosives packed into metal or PVC pipe. To destroy a building like the one in OKC would require a truckload of that stuff, on each floor. Or just pack it tight into the elevator shaft!

 

You're ridiculing again I guess. But I don't see the reason. It seems an attempt to discredit anything called "gun control". Yes, you explained earlier you are also for sensible gun control. I didn't forget It's just what it looks like.

So there’s the option of making a gun at home. You bring this forth as a serious argument that limiting access to certain guns for certain folks is pointless because of this option.
But I nuance that by stating that's a big hurdle to make (so its better to look into improving more sensible gun control including restricting buying/owning certain guns for certain people). You react with this...

But no, this is not what improving gun control sensibly is about, nor is the majority of people arguing for gun control arguing this.
If it saves only a few lifes its already worthwile to invest in better gun control. I'm sure you agree. So yeah, i don't really get the reaction to my post other than you perhaps ridiculing the whole topic because of the OP?

 

You're operating from a false assumption. Again, explosives (bombs) are not "outlawed" in the United States.

 

His point regarding guns and gun control still stands regardless.

 

I don't really think so. We have laws in place regarding who may or may not own/operate firearms and explosives. However, the blanket statement he was putting forward was plainly false. I don't think he was aware it was false though.

 

You are trying to read minds. (It's not working)

 

You you agree your statement, pertaining to them being "outlawed," is false?

I appreciate you're trying to argue your point. However, framing it in a deliberately false manner, isn't doing you any favors.
