If You Can't Buy 'em, Build 'em

The manufacture of country-made guns is an illegal industry that is thriving in the jungles of Assam and has turned into a cottage industry here, finding a market from poachers to militants.
How many more resources do we have available to us? Be sure and watch the video.

I have used this homebuilt gun argument with anti-gunners. If someone in the jungle can build a functioning gun, how in the world do you ever keep homemade guns out of America? Do you shut down every machine shop? Do you make it illegal to own metal? Do you outlaw bat-droppings (for making blackpowder)? Which is my point with the libs taking up all the guns, those who want them will get them. And it may be only the bad guys. I have seen two Vietnam era jungle made .45 Colt pistols that looked better than/as good as anything I could have done in a
machine shop. When I was a kid, a man in our area nutted up, made a gun from a pipe and a door spring and shot the place up. Sam

That didn't work quite as I intended, but you can click on the timestamp.

There (was) a nice site, http://www.cncgunsmithing.com for you CNC guys.

The info's out there...for now.

You can do plenty with a mini lathe and mill, hell, you can get damn near identical with them and a little skill. In an TEOTWAWKI scenario it'll take even less to make something that works. You'd be amazed at what would have to be outlawed in order to remove guns fully from society completely...modern society would have to end for that to happen.

Just a reminder that John Moses Browning did his work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The tools available in your average home garage are as good, or better, than what Browning had to hand. Ok, maybe not the "average" but it is not uncommon.
