    These sorts of mass shootings are a relatively recent phenomenon and even though a semi-auto ban most likely would have a downward effect on casualty numbers, it would still be a miniscule amount of the total annual number of gun deaths. I also can’t support any sort of action that penalizes the whole for the actions of the individual. The guns aren’t the problem though. They don’t cause the shootings to happen. Semi-auto and even full auto guns were much more accessible in years past and we didn’t have these types of shootings. Our society is sick and that sickness is causing our children to have these types of psychotic breaks. I can see the problem, but I don’t know how to fix it. What’s the solution? How do we heal something so fundamentally broken?

    I have a very liberal friend who is all about your money.

    He constantly spouts the greedy rich / exploited worker schtick.

    Propaganda at its finest, tell the same story over and over.

    I have friends and relatives waaay better off than me financially, I don't covet what they have, what they earn or what they inherited.

    I don't think they're greedy because they want to retain what they have or earn more than they have. 

    Fair share and the public good.

    Who decides what my fair share is, aren't I the public and why am I not asked what is good.

    Maybe if my 5 figure tax bill was lower, I would be able to be less greedy and increase my charitable contributions.

    you decide your fair share.

     

    government complicates this by indoctrinating the masses into the fantasy called social contract granting them the imaginary ability to impose on others for the sake of their subjectively determined good

    Can I come and see this done? I'm very interested in stamped guns. I know we have previously talked about this but just making sure I would be okay to come to this.

    sure, hopefully it'll make you want to build an mp5!

  4. I hate doing this, but I talked to George about postponing the MP5 build, wanted to give anyone interested a heads up.

    My laptop is taking a dump. I thought I could get it to last till tax season but existing problems are getting worse. So my budget won't allow a new computer and an expensive weapons build this soon.

    Another thing, which was brought up in the MP5 threads was welding this thin metal. So me and George are planning to build a few G3 as guinea pigs to get familiar with the HK flat bending/welding/assembly process. These rifles are way cheaper but we aren't going to get quantity discounts as right now we're the only ones thinking of experimenting with them.

    This test will also give use the hands on building experience, ideas, and time to rethink and optimize tooling and processes for an MP5 build party.

    Hope y'all are still interested in an MP5 build, even though it probably wont be till around summer. We're going to try and still put together a group buy on those contingent on how the G3 builds go.

    Again, I'm sorry for anyone who wanted in on an MP5 earlier than summer, but the computer thing was unexpected and I'm trying to find a way to spin it into a positive. Hopefully the G3 build are a beneficial experience so we can have more control over the MP5 builds.

  5. I guess Caravan to Midnight is kind of a podcast, but a long-format interview type.

    the only other podcast I listen to is thedamnwoods.com, for conspiracy, video games, and drunken alaskan-anarchist tangents.

  6. We're planning on doing the group buy the first week of January.  The month following receiving the kits we'll do the build party. If we have lots of people we'll split the builds up to keep smaller groups.

    The price as of now is just under $1300 per the quantity quote given to George. If this changes for whatever reason we'll let everyone know.

    We're going to work out with the business owner how we'll get him the payments and pass the info on.

    Build party location(s) is still pending (a) volunteer(s).

    Feel free to DM George or me for additional info. I'll add the kit link, for reference only, later.

    Was there more thought put into the welding?  I've done some mig and tig building various turbo cars, but I'm not comfortable on thinner gauge stamped steel. Good penetration without blowing through it is a fine line on small stuff. 

    Still interested. 

    It's something we're thinking about still.

  8. This is my anarchistic-perspective on Kaepernick's comments: he signed a contract with a team. He agreed to terms when he signed. Did the contract include expectations of personal/political conduct? I dunno. But whatever happens to him now is between the parties involved in the contract.
