The cost of complying with the dozens of legal hoops is often like 10-20x or more than the price of just a cheap pistol itself.

Larger financial barriers just mean if you're rich you can do what you want and if you're not, you're fucked, which often leads to people breaking these dumb laws and the cycle getting worse.

No, you can't. Hawaii is not a shall-issue state. It's pretty much impossible to get a permit there. Also, criminals won't be getting permits so why should we make law abiding citizens get them.

Make the bad thing illegal. Don't make the tools or the intermediate steps illegal

The FGC-9 is a gun designed to be built only from common hardware store tools and a shitty 3d printer and has been used by even the myanmar rebel forces who built it themselves. (Also you can build 3d printers themselves from hardware store and hobbyist electronics store supplies).

Guns are just metal tubes with some extra bits, as knowledge and materials get better, making them gets easier. You're making this statement like it hasn't been a common thing for years

It wouldn't if it had more candela. But low lumens and low candela means it ain't doing shit past 20 feet.

I think he means more like an arms length or enough to walk around it. Not a full on yard.

Not at all. I have lived in two different time zones where I'm dealing with subzero Celsius temperatures for several months of the year.

That is not what I mean. I mean in daily life, most temperatures will fall in that range. That does not mean every day you see them all.

As an American I don't know what you're talking about, aside from the UK most of Europe has amazing food, and the wine there is so much better and cheaper

This is why piracy is a net positive for society.

Why is it a loose canon? It's a problem with the photographer, not the camera. And at best you could argue that they might rattle or drop the camera, but that would just be a vibrating canon or insecure canon.

This pun does not work. Should be something like "what do you call a camera with no screws" or something
