Defense Distributed strikes again

Well, he apparently does have an arrest for banging a 16-yr old hooker. So he is a creep. It's the evolution of the tech that's interesting, though. You don't have to have skills to build your own now, and they basically can't track the materials.
More significant is that the info and technology is not limited to the U.S. Whether this company is doing it or not, the ghost gun guys are essentially exporting the 2A globally. Allies and enemies alike.

More guns. Yay!
I don't get the fear of guns being taken away when there is so are so many guns and so much money invested in the arms business.

this guy is playing on the margins for attention....he's got an axe to grind
when he starts getting in to his politics, it gets super fkn kooky
it's interesting how the video characterizes it as "sex with a 16 year old girl he met on a dating site", but GDaddy calls her a "hooker"...

Since Democrats started increasingly buying guns, you don't hear that much about gun control anymore. What it is is what we got for the forceable future IMO. Lock and load.
Gun control isn't the problem. The problem is that if you kill a perp in self defense, you are investigated and likely charged regardless of what tool you use.
All the guns/knives/tools/bare hands in the world are useless if Karen the DA charges you for using them. We're back to the Great White* Defendant from "Bonfire of the Vanities."
*White meaning "you defended yourself, a clear act of white supremacy regardless of your ethnicity."
I could not find any data that say Dems are buying more guns or that was why their attitudes have changed
it seems more likely to me that they got tired of losing on the legislative front and having attempts at gun control used against them during campaigns
Pew says the importance of stricter gun laws has declined among Dems *slightly*
Key facts about Americans and guns
Here are some key findings about Americans’ attitudes about gun violence, gun policy and other subjects, drawn from recent surveys.

ownership is still slanted toward conservatives
be a gentleman, and do the needful then....
I see anecdotes, I don't see hard data

This year has seen a massive surge in gun purchases in both Republican and Democratic states
Past research has shown that when Republicans are afraid for their safety, or when they are concerned about gun laws being tightened, they buy more guns. In new research which uses background check…

When the invading liberal hordes of color come to steal the white American dream, I figure one of my white gun nut friends will have an extra one I could use.

I know that you (in particular) favor the ad hominem instead of addressing the substance, however you'd also have to be an idiot to think it a coincidence that my comment reflected the reportage of the incident on Wiki instead of its omission from the vid.
Why is it always personal for you?
I agree with GWS that demographic data on first-time gun buyers since 2019 shows an increase in demographics generally associated with the (D) party, eg women and black people, and people that didn't already own guns.
I agree with afoaf that, against all odds, the (D) have realized it's a political loser and STFU about it.
But that could just be me seeing what I want. The (D) realizing something is a loser politically and STFU about it appears to happen about as often as East Coast combo swell with howling offshores.
IMHO you give afoaf some data on this and he'll bend the knee. YMMV.

They’re Afraid. They’re Buying Guns. But They’re Not Voting for Trump.
The drumbeat of national crisis is driving first-time gun sales across the country. The buyers aren’t who you might expect.
