A story about it

ironic how Facebook and google are considered evil but they release dev tools
I mean evil regimes/companies/people can and do good things.
If I was just thinking in one move I would agree with you but resistance is a phased affair. The deck is stacked but I'm not a fatalist. The very threat of resistance is better than nothing.
Ultimately it requires numbers and people dropping support for regimes. This can happen without a shot fired as we saw with the USSR. Far to many of us are black pilled.
Yes. May I suggest you think about an unarmed population that is facing police. They ambush the gov police and use their weapons to take the weapons from the gov police they kill. Now they have better weapons.
This has happened already.
Its not strange at all. I guess it seems that way if you aren't familiar with 3d printing, guns, or home manufacturing. But this video (which is really well done) is no where near a DIY video. Its just journalism. Anyone that has gotten into 3d printing will tell you its not easy.
YouTube is not out of step with their policy here. I think they are terrible for what they have done to good and helpful gun channels but this was just a news story.
Here's the real story. Gun control is dead. People just don't realize it yet. Even the laws he mentions have pretty much zero effect on people that want to make their own guns. I hear about "ghost guns" very often in gang crimes. The bad guys don't care about "laws" that say you can't buy a 3d printer for the purpose of making firearms.
The level of authoritarianism that would be needed to stop this would kill freedom of speech and commerce. People clutch their pearls with stories like these. There are people around the world who's lives have been made better by this tech. The ability to defend yourself against authoritarian governments far outweighs the domestic issues.
Technology will always outpace legislation and the democratization of arms is a boon for human freedom. I believe we have the freedom we have to day in part due to the invention of the firearm. As governments get more technology we the people need to be able to use it as well to counter their power.
Ah, prerelease. Nah, I just ordered this week and got it quick. Maybe the first run of 602's from Crypto Cloaks.
