Wish it showed the reality that a lot of minorities are also,fortunately, becoming more comfortable in exercising their rights to bear arms.

Democrats in the House quietly put forward a ban on 80 percent frames and gun parts kits while Americans were focused on voting and watching the outcome of the midterm elections.

They are trying to make home gunsmithing illegal. They lost the fight to ban the ARs now they are after Parts Kits to build your own.

So I got around to finally painting my rifle. I've had this thing for a few years now and I've made more changes than I care to list. But I think I finally have a rig that I like. Mismatched paint and parts alike I got annoyed with the lack of coordination. I opted to do a rattle can job. M90 camo inspired, I used light green, tan. Brown. And dark green. Tool about 4.5 hours, but I am absolutely loving the final result. Time to give it some wear and hit the range! Oh yeah. Fuck gun control 🖕

A LANDMARK LEGAL SHIFT OPENS PANDORA’S BOX FOR DIY GUNS. Cody Wilson makes digital files that let anyone 3-D print untraceable guns. The government tried to stop him. He sued—and won. FIVE YEARS AGO, 25-year-old radical libertarian Cody Wilson stood on a remote central Texas gun range and pulled the trigger on the world’s first fully 3-D-printed gun. When, to his relief, his plastic invention fired a .380-caliber bullet into a berm of dirt without jamming or exploding in his hands, he drove back to Austin and uploaded the blueprints for the pistol to his website, Defcad.com. HE’D LAUNCHED THE site months earlier along with an anarchist video manifesto, declaring that gun control would never be the same in an era when anyone can download and print their own firearm with a few clicks. In the days after that first test-firing, his gun was downloaded more than 100,000 times. Wilson made the decision to go all in on the project, dropping out of law school at the University of Texas, as if to confirm his belief that technology supersedes law. The law caught up. Less than a week later, Wilson received a letter from the US State Department demanding that he take down his printable-gun blueprints or face prosecution for violating federal export controls. Under an obscure set of US regulations known as the International Trade in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Wilson was accused of exporting weapons without a license, just as if he’d shipped his plastic gun to Mexico rather than put a digital version of it on the internet. He took Defcad.com offline, but his lawyer warned him that he still potentially faced millions of dollars in fines and years in prison simply for having made the file available to overseas downloaders for a few days. “I thought my life was over,” Wilson says. Instead, Wilson has spent the last years on an unlikely project for an anarchist: Not simply defying or skirting the law but taking it to court and changing it. In doing so, he has now not only defeated a legal threat to his own highly controversial gunsmithing project. He may have also unlocked a new era of digital DIY gunmaking that further undermines gun control across the United States and the world—another step toward Wilson’s imagined future where anyone can make a deadly weapon at home with no government oversight.

Right now the instinct of law abiding second amendment supports is to think of a way to match the "Marchforourlives" rally. And to be totally honest we couldn't. Not even close. We do not have privileged millionaire celebrities on our side , airline companies to give us free tickets to fly us to the capital, we don't have a government ran school system that wants to acknowledge any of our ideas, and we sure as hell don't have the main stream media on our side.

What we do have however is purchasing power. We have shown this for the past decade by purchasing more firearms, ammo, and training then ever in history. Just think of the amount of money we would spend to travel to DC, food, hotel costs per person. Think of the legal firearms we could buy with that money. Instead of trying to beat the anti-gunners at their own game, let's make our own. Let's set a date in the future where all gun advocates go out and set ourselves a record. We go out and purchase a new firearm or more ammo prove to them we match and beat their protest dollars. While the anti-gun crowd tries to scare us with massive demonstrations, think of the message it would send seeing millions of American buying guns all at once.
