hmmmm…if its just one randomly selected weirdo i see the problesm. but like, if all the congresspeople, and judges, and everyone was selected that way…
it being only citizens (while the systemic issues in the US persist) is an issue but i dont have any better ideas.
idk seems worth thinking about honestly.
Yeah its not like The US has protests every summer where police just murder people.
Or like the US still has slavery in prisons.
The US definitely doesn’t have any sort of shitty credit scoring system controlled by private corporations or anything.
The US is a bastion of workers rights, right? why else do you think police unions are so strong?
The US state dept definitely isn’t projecting or anything.
Your input conversations don’t sound like SJW types. They sound like just normal libs.
I mean yeah it sucks ass they have billionares too but at least they execute one or two occasionally to keep them in line.
edit: not pro death penalty, just saying there are consequences for billionares in China. not something that can be said for the US.
There are different kinds. Most common right now are 3d printed frames with untracked parts kits to finish the guns. Ie real metal barrels/springs/rails/fire control groups. All the REALLY stressed or super precise parts are often bought and everything else can be printed.
The commmunity is currently working on perfecting a (already proven) method for at home electrochemical machining of rifled barrels out of cheap already hardened (normally pain in the ass to machine) metal. just need a ~$50-90 in equipment (a bench power supply) and the metal is around $10 for enough for about 2 attempts.
currently the one thats most popular is mostly printed(FGC9) , with the ecm barrel, half an AK spring, and the fcg of an AR15. None of which requires any sort of background check (or check at all) to obtain.
The reliability isn’t as many rounds as a traditional counterpart (1000 instead of 10000) before some plastic parts start failing.
Its rare to need to put more than 1000 rounds through a gun before you teardown and rebuild it. And any plastic parts can just be reprinted for pennies.
Ideally(for the imperialists) they NEVER learn what it actually means.
