You can easily create a firearm with a short length of steel pipe and a nail. I don't know how this will do anything. Plus people can just drive to another state.

Obviously no respectable criminal would use a pipe gun without a 3d-printed ergonomic handle.

Well then you'll know what to do when your guns are taken away won't you?

When you've finished building it (and the home made ammo to go in it), don't forget to post a picture of your new baby to all the pro-gun communities.

I'm sure they'll all be very jealous of your dogshit "pipe and nail" gun.

I can tell ya havent interacted with the firearms communited too much. Its a lot like the car communited, sure there are quite a few folks who are overcompensating dickbags but there are just as many folks who just like em in generally which means the weirder the more interesting.

If someone could get a steel pipe and a nail to work as a functional firearm that can fire once theyd be respected, if they could get it to fire more than once and consistently there a solid chance theyd become a saint of the firearms community.

A slam fire only needs to fire once.

Making it absolute dogshit for criminals and domestic terrorists.

[-] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Exactly. It has one use.

That will never happen in the lifetime of anyone who can read these comments. Our gun rights are set in stone and there's nothing you can ever do about it.

Tell that to your slaves.
