Ignoring EFF’s warnings about the dangers and impossibility of implementing a new mandate for 3D print surveillance software, the California State Assembly has signed off on legislation to do just that. In the process, legislators amended the bill to make it even more confusing, while failing to address the risks to privacy, speech, and consumer rights. We must renew our call on legislators to drop this bill as it heads to the state senate, and protect the tools of creators in the state.
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.
No, you don’t. You can do literally anything productive with your life other than obsessing about killing tools.
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.
Lmfao go touch grass. Youre alive so far because reality is not the internet, not because you own a gun and are statistically endangering yourself and your family with it.
I don’t own a gun, actually. Your assumption is bad and you should feel bad.
I am doing nothing but thinking about ensuring my ability to obtain one, should the political situation continue to deteriorate. That’s prudent, not delusional.
The only one here acting obsessive and unhinged is you.
Keep supporting policies that kill people on a daily basis. Totally worth it.
No worries we will.
Now I want to teach people how to make AR lowers, I love you!
It won’t be accurate or be a long baller w/o a lathe to make a rifled barrel. Not that you couldn’t mke a barrel with hand tools, it just would be very difficult.
And like others have said, only the lower receiver is the controlled item. You goto Brownels and can buy 98% of an AR w/o a background check.
