While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.
Be better than how your enemies treat you.
- Respect the trans community
Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:
No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.

Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.
This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.
- Bunnies are above the law
This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

Ghost guns are not even illegal, and can be made with some metalworking and wood.
They are in some U.S. States such as New York.

If it's legal where someone lives you can build an AR-15 using an 80% lower or a Glock knock-off using mix&pour Resin kits; either of those can be done by most people in an apartment. If you have more space and talent there's a video out there showing how to build an AK from a common shovel.
You can build a basic shotgun in the plumbing aisle at Home Depot and there are functional practical designs for DIY sub-machine guns out there.
The American tradition of building ones own firearms is 250 years old and (mostly) alive and well.
I mean, they sell kits to build your own gun. I haven't done it, but in concept it feels kind of like Lego or a kit car to me.
I once made a basic shotgun with a few sections of high pressure piping ,a cheap welder, and a 2x4.
Also once made a 9mm semi-auto pistol, complete with riflrd barrel and lock mag compatibility. 3d printer, more pipes, and some electroplating equipment.
It's not particularly difficult to make a shitty slam fire hardware store shotgun that only has to work a couple times.
I'm a big fan of minorities arming themselves and training. It's pathetic how little you need to rain to get more experience than cops. Don't be worse with guns than a cop.
wow, that last line inspires me. I might learn how to shoot at a firing range now but I don't plan on owning a gun.
They are illegal to make in some states (like WA).
Also, a ghost gun is just unserialized... I'd wager most ghost guns are not homemade firearms, but are just guns purchased through a strawman sale (felony) with their serial numbers sanded off.
Also also I don't think it's too common to make homemade firearms with wood (unless you're making vintage replicas).
The polymer frame of a Glock is the serialized part, so most homemade firearms today are made with a 3D printed frame (or lower receiver for ARs) and off the shelf unregulated parts kits from the internet.
For ARs, the entire upper receiver assembly (upper, barrel, bolt carrier, etc... So all the parts that experience stress) can be purchased pre-assembled for less than $300 with 0 paper work or legal obligation.
