    it will then be pointed out that milling machines fucking exist and have for decades without being an issue.

    It’s kinda a lot more difficult to build a proper rifle with old fashioned tools. You need a workshop and quite some money for that stuff. Oh, and actually quite some knowledge if you want to get something that actually works more than once and shoots straight. And did I mention that this stuff is expensive? And you gotta have to transport those pretty heavy tools. Really hard to do that without anybody noticing. I know, because I have such a fancy workshop. And it would still take me a lot of work and dedication.

    This 3D printing stuff makes it a lot easier, the hardest part is the chemical-mechanical barrel production. That’s something I could realistically do with my 3D printer and tools I got in a week or so. This is nothing like rifle making in comparison.

    Shit man, just regulate firearms parts that are currently unregulated, and implement a license for 3D printer purchases. I’d gladly be on a list of 3D printer owners, just for those Nazi fucks to have another obstacle and another “contact point” with authorities where they can be caught.

      I can go out today and buy a $3000 cnc mill and make 100s of tiny parts in 1 week that will turn any consumer bought AR15 into a fully automatic weapon of destruction. All the plans and details how to do it have been online for a long time. It’s not hard and these people have the motivation and willingness to do it.

        You cannot buy consumer grade AR15 in European countries without having a gun licencse, having the gun registered and subject yourself to random inspections if it is stored properly, which usually means unloaded in a gun safe.

          Organizations like this one, at least competent ones, don’t buy guns at the shops. I was making a point but I’m sure there is an illicit gun trade even in Sweden.

            There is, it’s just a lot less accessible and I would assume a lot less expensive.

            Bank robbers would have guns in Europe, but ypur average guy breaking and entering won’t.

      The problem starts to arise when the nazi fucks suddenly run the country and go through these readily available lists and don’t recognize you as an old friend from the olden days. And then the door bell brings bad news.

        …then its not the 3D printer owners they care about. They go more after the lists of leftist party members.

        RIGHT? YA FUCKING BRAINDEAD HYPOCRITE? You going to register your fucking mill with the government so they know you aren’t a terrorist? ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY?

        I’m appaled by the tone in your response. I come to the fediverse because many of the discussions are interesting and I like to browse the comments or add my 2 cents.

        You are doing the digital equivalent of screaming at the top of your lungs. I suggest you learn to rely on arguments instead of cheap rethoric and caps lock.
