A.E. van Vogt ( and a host of other early SF writers) had a forming influence on my views re arms and freedom when I first encountered him around 6th grade.
The Weapon Shops of Isher
The doors wouldn’t open for govt agents and over those doors it read:
“The right to buy weapons is the right to be free”,
The modern corollary would be the right to manufacture them.
I refer to those books a lot when the topic of 3D printing firearms comes up.
