    Pretty sure you could make a gun too, which is the point of this 3D printer thing

    And like what about other CNC machines?

    I like that California is on the frontier of many tech laws, but this and the age thing are particularly dumb lately

    Nobody tell California about a nail combined with certain diameters of pipe, because guess what, those can become guns too.

    Neat, I would've assumed you'd need a mill or a lathe, not just a drill press. Kinda want to know how to do it myself, since I own the former but not either of the latter.

    The upper reciever is the load bearing part on an Armalite, but it's also not the regulated part. The lower receiver is, and all you need for that is a box that holds the trigger components in vaguely the right place, a hole that lines up the magazine, a hole to stick the buffer tube into at the back, and some way to nail the upper receiver to it.

    You could carve an AR lower out of wood if you were dedicated enough.

    Guess I ought to go find a set of machining schematics.

    Please explain how I can "do literally anything productive with my life" when I'm murdered by MAGA fascists because I had no means to defend myself.

    Yeah I’ve lived in CA for about 10 years now and have loved it, but the new laws they are passing are making it extremely likely that I’ll be moving soon. Especially with tje fact that we are either getting either Becerra who’s in Big AI and Big Oils pocket.

    If I'm not mistaken, this DOES cover ALL manufacturing devices, and if it doesn't, it will in the future
