Very good article. Y...Thanks for posting that WiFi. Very good article. You raise an interesting point.<br /><br />There's something about Canada that Canadians don't really get. Canada kills innovation. If you've got a new idea, new process, new theory, whatever, you take it to the USA and do it there. <br /><br /><br />I heard a story from a cardio/thoracic surgeon one time, he invented a widget for heart surgery. Big time-saver, very useful device. He tried to have it made in Canada for a long time. There was always some reason why it couldn't move forward. Sometimes regulations, sometimes manufacturing, always a stone in the path.<br /><br />So he went to the USA and the thing took off like a rocket. Very successful.<br /><br />An entire nation set up to maintain status quo, never allow success beyond a certain level without official approval, to control the population closely.<br /><br />To a government like that, building weapons at home is the worst possible thing isn't it? One guy could arm a whole town in only a few years. He could teach other hobbyists, they could arm a whole city.<br /><br />And the government wouldn't get any control at all.<br /><br />Six years for murder, seven for making a gun. No wonder, eh?<br />The Phantomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10159748429049446398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15888307.post-32552467781512460792018-10-16T20:50:03.833-04:002018-10-16T20:50:03.833-04:00There's an article out there--hold on.
There ...There's an article out there--hold on.<br /><br />There was an article out there called "3D Printing and the Bugman", but it got nuked hard. <a href="http://archive.is/Fefjf" rel="nofollow">Except for archival copies</a>, which mysteriously don't show up on search engines.<br />Funny that.<br /><br />In any event, the author makes the case that capable, independent manufacturers of <i>anything</i> profoundly threaten current progressive narratives, and independent weapon makers are right off the hook. <br />They really are more scared of people with crafting abilities than armed goons.WiFi Lunchbox Guynoreply@blogger.com
