I hate making more than one or two gun posts a week. I really do. I hate it because it makes me feel that I’m falling into the stereotype of the survivalist who is all about guns, ammo, camouflage, and awating the hordes of Soviet invaders. The truth is, gun stuff comes up because Im sort of in the business, I like guns, and gun politics factor into preparedness…if they were trying to pass legislation that controlled how many freeze-dried entrees you could have I’d be posting a lot about that too.
Todays food for thought is this article:
I Built This AK-47. It’s Legal And Totally Untraceable
This is really just absurd. Its been legal to build your own gun (with a few restrictions) for decades. But this brouhaha about 3D guns is turning the spotlight onto this non-issue of folks being able to legally build their own guns. Unfortunately, things like facts, statistics, and history won’t have as much influence on this issue as hysterical politicians and policy wonks wringing their hands on camera and saying how this ‘loophole’ needs to be changed.
So..if you ever have the desire to build your own gun, or the desire to know how to build your own gun, or the desire to own the tooling and materials to make your own gun, now might be a very good time to get off your butt do just that.
