Gun Control III - the Gunnening

[Hammer Britannia]

Who says we need to use the original stuff? I have a feeling that there are enough ship enthusiasts on this forum and elsewhere in the US where we could pool our resources and hire a powder company to manufacture modern naval propellant for our uses... Doesn't hurt I know a fair amount of Explosive Engineering students through my university...

As for Kowani, could you do me a favor brother and offer a short recap of what you're talking about? I think it's the sleep deprived state I'm in but for some reason I'm having a hard time following along with you. Thanks in advance!

Wikipedia has chemical formulas for various explosives which might be useful as a propellant for the big guns. Oh, and Wikipedia also basically has instructions on how to improvise a shotgun. I wonder what the gun control people would think of that.

Someone smart enough could use Wikipedia to build a bomb tbh.

But clearly, we need to ban Wikipedia to prevent that 1% chance that some wacko will build a bomb using Wikipedia. Let's just ignore all the benefits Wikipedia has because think of the children.

If someone brings this up to a politician, they will start trying to ban Wikipedia.

then they also need to ban books, movies, games, hell why not life because the longer something lives the more intelligent it becomes and thinks of new ways to kill other things.

The right to keep and bear arms is one of the most important freedoms as it allows you to defend yourself and your family against government overreach in the most direct and personal way possible.
I would extend it to all manner of weaponry though: if the military has access, the people should also.

well maybe leave bio weapons out because you know Umbrella could happen and Im to lazy to defend myself from zombies and I don't have any firearms at my apartment so?

Does the military currently have access to bio weapons?

Do you really want the Zombie apocalypse right now? plus don't be silly I know full well they do I was just on another account of mine.

Most likely.

Then they can't be left out.

[Gun Manufacturers]

How about we go up to Philly to get the New Jersey and make a couple impulse purchases at the Navy Yard? They should still have a few Ticonderogas laid up there...

I completely unironicly believe that private ownership of military-grade warships should be legal. It's all a part of depriving the government of an effective monopoly on force.

Are you kidding me? Do you have any idea how much time and/or money you'd have to invest in hull maintenance?

Barnacles suck.

I'm sure there's an app for that or Boston Dynamics has made a barnacle-bot.

Better ban high-school chemistry, too.

Yep... Also better get rid of theatres and stage tech positions... don't want to teach people how to use milling machines...

Legality and practicality are very different things.

It kinda can. Bioweapons are indiscriminate, if the military was to use ‘em, they’d get screwed over as well.

I mean that's kind of the issue with Bioweapons isn't it? It's practically fucking impossible to enforce any rules with regards to them.

Not too mention shop class, because people might learn how to use power tools.

They've already done that around these parts... Our H.S. had no straight shop class which was an idiotic thing. Closest thing was theater technician... at least I know how to use shop machinery because of that.

I've never even heard of that in the UK

Many schools used to have workshops where you could take classes in wood working, metal working, etc. It was a valuable class because it taught students how to use machinery properly and safely which could assist when attempting to get an early job/etc. Unfortunately from my experience, shop classes seem to be drying up quite a bit but idk.

I think it has a lot to do with the insistence from education administrators that if you don't go to university you're a failure, and that schools that don't send x number of students to uni are bad schools.

Kiwis Just Say No to Gun Ban

Two months ago, Reuters breathlessly reported, “New Zealand police expect tens of thousands of firearms to be surrendered by a guns buy-back scheme.” Law enforcement authorities averred that “it could be more.” Pregnant with the expectation that gun owners would trade their firearms for cash, the political class is nonplussed by the results.

Only 530 guns have thus far been turned in to the authorities.

530 Too many if you ask me. But good on the citizens for refusing.

Doubtful but I'm really hoping it was 530 Hi-points...

Well now....
Stag Arms says it will leave Connecticut
I guess I couldn't blame them for moving, since the govt of CT, decided to further slide deeper down the fascist, bigoted, authoritarian hole.

I don't blame 'em either.

Which is really unfortunate, if you ask me.
