Improvised/Homemade Firearms Have Long Exposed Folly of 'Gun Control' ' (gallery/video)

Way before 3-D printers were around, gun bans have been circumvented by the slapping-together of crude-yet-effective weapons. Yet another reason 'gun control' will never control anything, except perhaps the innocent citizenry made to be sitting ducks by unjustified obstacles to legitimate firearm ownership/supply.

Even if too stoopid to make weapons themselves, all street criminals will surely find a HUGE black market in the wake of any US gun grabs or bans instituted by the vile, lawless Obama regime. The Left loves to preach how 'we could never deport 30M Mexicans'... I'd like to hear how they plan to corral 300M guns.

And when NYC street gangs couldn't even get real weapons 80-90 years ago, they simply manufactured crude, inaccurate 'zip guns' themselves... and that was in Harlem tenements, not some factory. Eighteen months ago, a trio of CT teenagers were busted for making/selling a dozen improvised guns of their own design (below) that they screwed-together in their mom's basement from about $5.00 worth of junk from Home Depot.

Even prisoners have repeatedly found ways to put a functioning weapon together from within the confines of a federal penitentary- when you want to shoot somebody from 3 ft away, it really doesn't take all that much.

So, just consider nowadays in 2015, where there are so many private metal shops, metal lathes, etc out there -in addition to emerging 3-D printing tech- how on God's green Earth is any kind of gun prohibition ever going to succeed? Even if they somehow succeeded in rounding-up all 300M guns in the United States today, there's more ways to make your own -and of far higher quality- than any other time in world history.

This is why most intellectually-honest people know that there's no way gun bans will work: Obama knows it too, but is simply aiming to disarm his real enemies, meaning we law-abiding Republican types... he's actually 'cool' with most of the street-criminal class, or at least thinks they are the only ones that ought to be doing the shooting.

But these are America's most resourceful, inventive, and brave people that he's threatening the 2nd Amendment rights of... does anybody really believe we can't -or won't- make our own guns, if necessary?

that there's no way gun bans will work:

Sure they do.

They make practice and actual self defense either impossible or very costly (as in: you go to jail) for the honest citizen. Sure, you have your militia rifle buried in a sealed container "somewhere". Doesn't matter. You're not able to use it.

Gun bans are evil.

I’m saying they ‘don’t work’ for the claimed objectives

And yes, I fully agree only the good guys get disarmed... no doubt

[NorthMountain]

I’m saying they ‘don’t work’ for the claimed objectives

Emphasis added.

The claimed objectives are a lie, of course. I'm sure you know that. The real objective is to drive honest armed citizens under ground (both literally and figuratively), and prevent them having any real familiarity with arms.

Gotten much machinegun practice lately?

Me either ... Thanks, Tip O'Neill you rotten communist bastard. I don't (can't afford it) even own one ... and that was the point.

[Reaganite Republican]

Yep, agreed in full

"..Sure, you have your militia rifle buried in a sealed container "somewhere". Doesn't matter. You're not able to use it.."

I saw someone's tag line on ARfcom that read something to the effect of if it's time to bury your arms, it's really time to dig them up.
As in most everything else, timing is key. d:^)

On the general subject, I highly recommend A.E van Vogt’s science fiction novel The Weapons Shops of Isher. I read it as a young teen or even pre-teen, and it is probably one of the top influences on my becoming a strong 2A supporter.

Someone should make and distribute a mass printing about how you can make a WWII fully-automatic Sten gun from the kind of tools a bicycle shop possesses.

“Someone should make and distribute a mass printing about how you can make a WWII fully-automatic Sten gun from the kind of tools a bicycle shop possesses.”

I still have the complete run of “FIREPOWER” magazine, that specialized in making your own Class III weapons. They were put out of business by the so-called Firearms Owners Protection Act in 1986 that prevented any more such guns from being manufactured. The magazine had several articles on finishing the 80% STEN guns kits and such, as well as making a sub-machinegun completely from scratch.

Would be fun to scan all of that into PDF format, and email out a few million copies.

How about enforcing the laws against criminal behavior?

[Forward the Light Brigade]

They ban firearms and that day is the start of Rev-War II or CW II (The war for Texas Independence).
