Just going to weigh in on mothers!
for self-defense at close range or hunting, you are correct. normal folks got by with shotguns for a long time. a lot simpler to make versus a revolver or rifle as well.I think Australia provides a good model for how to give people their firearms rights back.
The one part of firearms manufacturing that is difficult is, rifling. It requires a special machine & special training.
However, rifling is only needed on longer shots, 100 yards+.
As long as people who have been denied their firearms rights, possibly because of Cannabis consumption, can get by with shooting at a range of 0 to 50 yards, all of the parts can be constructed using a normal machine shop & 3D printing.
i'd like to know a little more of the tech involved in making firearm quality black powder. we made crude stuff that burned pretty impressively, but never had a muzzleloader to try it with back in the day. making a pipe bomb DID cross my mind but i thought a second time on that...The ability to melt and mold lead and mix your own powder gives a quality to the craft of black powder and muzzleloaders.
There is so much ammo floating around that you dont need to consider black powder.
A single shot shotgun can be made with a 15 minute shop in a hardware store.
Two pieces of pipe, an end cap,a small tack or cut nail, a hacksaw and some heavy duty epoxy like JB Weld if you dont have a welder will do it.

nobody really cares if you make them and set them off (i don't think), so long as you have a safe place to do it & not endanger anyone else. hell, you can still get dynamite. or buy diesel & fertilizer. not as easy as it used to be, for some odd reason...I recall that making your own fresh charcoal from willow is a big difference. Milling the saltpeter down finely is another.
I'm very happy to hear that you thought twice about the pipe bomb!
That's so dumb. But then again, they somehow managed to ban supressors in some states... Also that bill that is going to track all ammo sales around the country... In 10 years you won't be able to buy night vision scopes without being in 100 databases...The Department of Justice asked a federal court on Monday to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks to overturn a policy blocking medical marijuana patients from buying or owning guns. The filling is partly premised on the government’s position that it would be too “dangerous to trust regular marijuana users to exercise sound judgment” with firearms.
In making its case for dismissal, DOJ also drew eyebrow-raising historical parallels to past gun bans for groups like Native Americans, Catholics, panhandlers, those who refuse to take an oath of allegiance to the government and people who shoot firearms while drunk.
We have been in a Cold Civil War since 2016 at least. Could go back to when GHW Bush was elected pres. CI A>to PresidentBack in the 1800's, the Supreme Court made a decision regarding slavery. Yet, some states chose to ignore the Supreme Court's ruling. And we had Civil War.
This year, Supreme Court made a ruling. And several States said that the Supreme Court does not apply to them.
...gonna be interesting the next 18 months.
Who owns the guns?And then there's the arms race?
Cold civil war?!
which ruling have states said "does not apply to them? " if it is Roe V. Wade, the decision referred to legalizing abortion in all fifty states. ending that does not negate STATE laws allowing it in THOSE states. if it was the firearms cases where states tried to negate the 2nd amendment rights, those states are still trying to word a law to where the SC will let it slide. that is not going to end anytime soon (or well for those states), nor will them overturning Roe V. Wade quiet down in the foreseeable future. if momma aint happy, NOBODY gets to be happy....This year, Supreme Court made a ruling. And several States said that the Supreme Court does not apply to them.

In his view only the responsible people There wont be another civil war. What will happen eventually is the union will dissolve and states will go their own way, kind of like the soviet collapse.Who owns the guns?
