      we already have them. It’s not hard to make a firearm, and the 3d printed weapons scene has taken off quite well. all of the good ones still need metal parts ofc, but they are pretty easy to get your hands on in many cases.

          They are nowhere near as reliable as a properly manufactured gun but they are still pretty solid for plastic and a bit of metal

            It really depends on the design and how much of it somebody is committed to 3D printing. If somebody wants to 3D print the bare minimum for legal purposes and use a parts kit for the rest, there’s a number of designs that seem identical in function to something factory made.

        It’s not hard to make a firearm, but it’s pretty hard to make a good one. I could maybe make something about ten times worse than that thing that one Aussie kid made during WWI in his garage.

          specific parts. you need metal to withstand the pressures of the actual bullet to get a somewhat degree of reliability, so any pressure bearing part needs to be metal, everything else can be plastic, but the more metal the better. Now you can get some more basic designs with parts that you could fabricate at home, but a lot of the higher end designs require off the shelf gun parts.

          The “leading design” right now is the FGC-9 which is actually seeing a degree of use in myanmar(??). The design requires metal parts that could be feasible to fabricate at home. However it is shockingly easy, even in heavily restricted countries, to be able to order the metal parts.

          You can get parts or parts kits (random example) and make the receiver/frame (whatever the legal “gun” part happens to be on a design) yourself.

    This reminds me of that copy pasta about having an old printer and a gun in case it does something unexpected; can’t remember the exact words though.

                I exclusively use NewPipe on my phone, and it works well (although it seems comments broke recently, but I’m sure it’ll be fixed in due course), but I try to use Piped on PC and I find that it is significantly slower, most videos I have to play at 720p or lower, and it usually takes 20+ seconds to initially load. Being in Australia probably doesn’t help

                Is there any other alternatives that I should consider?

                • If you want a native client for Piped on your phone, check out LibreTube

                  If you want something closer to NewPipe on your PC, check out Invidious, Tubo or FreeTube if you want a native client. There’s also an Invidious client for Android called Clipious.

                  You can also try out Tubular on your phone, it’s a fork of NewPipe with some nice extra features like SponsorBlock integration

                  On my phone I use Libretube and for desktop I use Invidious.

                  The thing with Libretube is you have to flip though instances to get it to work.

      He’s kind of like that crazy prepper/survivalist uncle who lives in the ass end of nowhere, has a homemade fallout shelter stocked to the ceiling with canned chicken and peach, sleeps with a combat knife under his pillow, and rants about the government and agencies whenever he gets the chance. The family still keeps him around because he sometimes does something useful.

          Normally I would just let it slide, but I’m bored so why not have some discourse :)

          1. I do not own fire arms personally due to mental health issues. I do carry pepper spray and have a taser readily available. Worst case scenario a bow I use for hunting.

          2. There are legitimate uses for fire arms full stop. Protection against bodily threats, hunting, tyrannical government, etc.

          3. I support universal background checks and “common sense gun regulation”. It is a dangerous tool, but it is still just a tool. I’d love to see mandatory fire arm safety training before attempting to buy a gun.

          4. Workers rights are bogged down because of hierarchical systems designed towards uplifting the few and the expense of the many.

          Why should the government have exclusive use of violence? In any case, the eventual goal (for me personally and people like me) is peace and liberty. Until that happens the working class must have access to fire arms. The people who should not own guns are those with mental health issues, and access should be limited to trained/responsible individuals.

            A gun is not a tool you need. It is just needed because you expect others to also have it.

            Against random robberies, pepperspray, tasers or sirens are better.

            If “the woman at night on the walk home” has a gun, “the robber” has one too. Nothing won.

            If it is circulating, you cannot prevent the wrong people from getting them.

            I see how not only the police having guns is nice. But this means they shoot way quicker. See the rate of deaths by police in germany, its always below 30.

              I get what your saying completely. I don’t disagree per se actually (my brain tells me we just have lived in a crazy time for the past couple hundred years, guns are super prolific.). I would love if the police disarmed as well.

            (Sorry not trying to be a dick just some info)

            Drop that taser, they’re worthless. The ones the cops use are only effective 60% of the time, and those are the shooty bois with the barbs that aren’t legal for civilians in every state (some states OK). The ones most people have that are only effective at contact distance anyway are basically just annoying, it’s impossible to get intramuscular incapacitation with them afaik, as that requires appropriate prong spread that is only a thing with the shooty bois (if you’re the right distance away to get the spread, and the guy doesn’t have a heavy coat which half the time will catch the barbs.) Frankly running, OC, or if the threat is deadly a hammer, would all be better than the taser unless you’re fighting a lot of naked wet dudes maybe lol.

            The OC spray is great however, get the highest % you legally can in your area and preferably stream over gel. They do go bad, check the dates on it, if no date replace at least every ~2y. I use Pom OC myself, but there’s many others.

          Karl Marx isn’t really random, he is the godfather of communism. Now I am not a full blown communist by any means but Karl Marx was a really smart dude who correctly saw and anticipated the negative effects of capitalism. It’s ok to disagree, I respect that completely but I’d ask we keep it civil.

      I know you’re just trolling or whatever, but I’d love to have some reasonable answer to what a non-cowardly response is supposed to be if there is some armed person trying to hurt me or my family. The police response time where I live is 30-45 minutes. I don’t want to shoot someone, I hope I never have to, but if it’s either me or them? Well that’s what makes having guns practical.

        I dont get it. In that cenario, using Biometrics is not less secure as that wrench would convince you of telling the password.

        Btw biometrics dont work on first boot on android, or after you used the wrong finger a few times on GrapheneOS. They will also implement a duress long-powerbutton-press feature in some future, to reboot the phone.

          A password is safer because they will need you alive and conscious. To bypass the biometrics, you just need the body part.

        The random person the receptionist let into the main office is not likely to chop my finger off to access my phone or computer.
