The whole thing is fear mongering. The libs genuinely believe you can make a fully automatic AK-47 in .50 caliber ("Just upscale the barrel lol") out of resin.

If you are determined enough, you can make anything. You absolutely can't just download a file and print an AK-47, but anybody who is disgruntled enough can find a way to kill someone.

“Under no pretext"

Rules (Under review):

1. NO BUYING, SELLING OR TRADING of guns or accessories. Take that to Reddit and /r/GunAccessoriesForSale or Armslist.com
1. Censor all personally identifiable information in posts including serial numbers on firearms.
1. Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
1. Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
1. Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.
