Freedom and Liberty won't just die. It will be death by a thousand cuts.
That being said don't think the government is doing this to protect you, if they make it hard for the populace to get weapons they don't have to worry as much when they over step their bounds
Wherever you stand in the pro or contra of this topic: Allowing people to DIY guns at home is one of the worst ways to obtain guns.
Counterpoint is you can already legally build your own gun legally as long as it abides state and federal laws. These kits offer a safer diy experience than just throwing a 3d printed Glock clone together and hoping it works. Plenty of people have also built AR15 variants from "80% lowers" which require some diy milling and assembly. Having safe and tested diy options is likely a good thing for overall safety.
Is it really governments business whatever happens in your house as long as you're not hurting someone else?
Cmon government, I was just making Anthrax for science, I was never gonna hurt anyone with it!!
Not really. A gun the government can't track is a gun that the government can't take during a revolution
Lol
Can you tell us more about your Rambo fantasy where you fight the big bad government with your very cool and very masculine guns?
USA is the current global superpower that is literally unrivaled by any civilisation in history.
Meanwhile some uneducated farmers and mountain herders with AKs from Vietnam and Afghanistan both pushed the shit back up USA's ass. Don't need Rambo or Gravy Seals to defeat a global superpower.
Now do it without a literal ocean to transport supplies and troops over, without multiple surrounding hostile countries. Afghanistan was a failure of logistics and political will, not the victory of the AK over the military.
Now do it where the "bad guys" look and act exactly the same as the soldiers.
I've seen this same dialog a thousand times already, you both need some new material
Your snarkiness aside, Your stance seems to be "if it's hard don't fight"
I'm sure the Revolution would have went well with that mentality
