I have lived most of my life in a real warzone. I have carried guns since I was 7. I have been fortunate enough to not have to kill anyone with them yet, but I know many people who have, including my father. Believe me, the gun nerds and racist wannabe soldiers of America would not last a minute in a real fight. You don’t have a gun problem, you have a “people who think guns are shiny toys” problem.
I think it’s stupider than that. They have no idea how a handmade gun could be built without a 3d printer. They probably have zero clue what a 3d printer actually can and cannot do, and I’d bet most politicians have never seen one or bothered to understand it before regulating it. Their sole exposure is a few loud people who also do not understand anything about guns or 3d printers, and confuse that lack of understanding with definitive proof that it is evil and should be banned.
