    You can buy all those parts online without registration.

    True, but I think this is more about the wider world outside of America.

    Can you buy all those parts online in Europe? Or in Japan? I’m in the USA, so I don’t actually know, but I would assume they would have tighter controls on that sort of thing.

      A gun is stupid simple: it’s a machined piece of pipe, something to strike the firing cap on the bullet, a trigger, and some sort of receiver.

      Nothing you can’t build out of parts from your local home supply store, if you really felt like it.

      3d printing makes a couple of parts of building one easier, but it’s certainly not required since we’ve had 3d printing for about 10 minutes, and been building guns for hundreds of years.

      The FGC-9 (Fuck Gun Control 9) is designed with European laws in mind, and is amongst the most widespread design out there. Most notably used in the ongoing Myanmar civil war by rebels.

      All you need is a 3/4 inch pipe, a pipe that fits over the other one, a pipe end, a nail, and a drill. Making a single shot is super easy, and the instructions are everywhere.

      Anywhere that has a hardware store, you can make a gun very easily.
