    People generally don’t have time to whittle words about their attackers profession onto bullet casings in a shootout, and fabricating untraceable firearms generally isn’t something rich people do for self defence.

      Yes, but who has the time to do that when they’re playing Battletech at the same time as the murder? Which he totally was with me at that exact moment.

      Yes but no matter how obvious you think guilt is, eveyone has to go through a trial. Cops aren’t the judges or executioners.

      That’s merely your understanding of self defence.
      Other people like those in the jury may have a different understanding - and their understanding is more important here.

              I won’t, but it’s always good knowing we’re not alone and on the right side.
              Thank you! I’ve got yours!

            Defeat? Whats to be defeatist about? Luigi didn’t improve anything for anyone and him walking free or going to prison is a net zero result for society.

      I take it you’ve never been to the USA? They do it almost constantly as a hobby. 2nd Amendment bullshit.

        It’s highly illegal. There is a massive supply of firearms from large manufacturers, the only reason to make your own as a rich man is because you’re bored AF or you plan to murder somebody.

          It’s highly illegal.

          It’s not, not anymore at least. As of Friday, Trump directed Bondi to do a review and potential roll-back on the Biden-era provisions surrounding ghost guns.

          A lot of the 2nd amendment types LOVE printing ghost guns. They find it amusing, interesting and generally speaking they are firearms enthusiasts. Just because some dipshit already has 20 AR-15s, 8 pistols, 3 shotguns and a sniper rifle, does NOT dissuade them from having a ghost gun.

          This shit is 3 years old. It should provide you some necessary insight.

            I mean its basically the firearms equivalent of building your own retro-console from spare parts. Janky and underpowered compared to what’s on the market from big manufacturers, but much of the point is in the building.
