It's called gunsmithing, it is both a business and a hobby for some people.

A guy was watching the videos and did the samething, he killed 2 persons and got 25 years in jail, i don't thing the guy is the true responsible but the guys producing that kind of videos. Poisons in the society made for profit kill a lot of people. They wouldn't have enough scientists to watch these criminal they produce new poisons every day. Poisons kill millions of people every year in US by chance sperm produces the equivalent. You won't get rid of these poisons if you don't get rid of money.

What gunsmithing videos are you talking about?
Quote:
Gunsmithing doesn't involve killing people, "Poisons", "sperm" or whomever you might think "is the true responsible" for whatever. While there are some particular concerns in design, materials and tolerancing it is still just machining and assembling of components. Within the capabilities of most precision manufacturing facilities. Heck, with modern CNC equipment and current screw machines, just about anyone with basic set up capability can produce large volumes of precision components. The only way to get rid of the capability to produce guns is to get rid of all manufacturing all together and even then someone could rig something. The first firearms were basicity just cast tubes stuffed with black powder and projectiles. Heck, someone even designed a 3D printable gun but as I recall it wasn't very durable. |

You make a law to banish guns and close the producers. For those who don't respect the law and give up their guns you send the police to pick them up, no prison, no fine. You make a resolution to UN to banish arms.
You abolish money in the country, keep working as usual, for products from other countries is financed by products you sell to others countries, you just keep money for international trade untill others counties abolish money. |

Again, how are your unarmed police going to get guns from armed people whom you already well know don't want to willingly give them up?
Again, what happens to signatory countries who don't actually abide by such a "resolution"? "no prison, no fine"? Does that include when they use those guns they don't want to give up? What products do I sell to Czechoslovakia such that I can order something from Czechoslovakia? |

Get rid of guns and money, lawyers won't have clients or any incentive to work.

I hope you gauge the usefulness of the effort by its benefit to you, so as not to waste it all.

Biden sheds tears over the Chicago shooting but they are crocodile tears, this hypocrite is the world's biggest arms dealer. They have nice words to have votes but they do the opposite in practice.

Right, because providing weapons and logistical support to a country defending itself against a hostile aggressor is exactly the same as enabling someone to murder families and children at a fourth of July parade.

no, the weapons sold to the Ukraine are for defense from the Russians.

By your own assertions not giving or having weapons themselves does not forestall people from becoming victims of gun violence. How many of those victims, in the Chicago shooting you mention, were armed with firearms?
Again, such arms don't have to be given or sold they can simply be and are made, by someone. That the producer may not be the user in some cases certainly doesn't preclude them from being the same. |

It's proven that the more weapons circulating, the more victims there are, no matter how you look at it, so the solution is very simple, get rid of them.
NATO gave lots of weapons in Ukraine but at the end it will only make more people killed, hurt, refugees, starvation and the whole country destroyed. You got to look at what it will come in practice. |
