Arms control seems to me to be the right path for this. I don’t want a future where increasingly deadly weapons are more and more readily accessible. The fact that it’s an otherwise legal firearm precludes a bit of the slippery slope argument (IE what if it were plans for a $200 missile launcher?), but the untraceability of the guns creates a problem that the law enforcement system doesn’t really have the tools to deal with yet, and I think that is what keeps most people who aren’t gun activists worried. A way I think about it is if I look 100 years into the future, there are energy weapons or auto tracing bullets or autoturrets with aimhax, would those be acceptable for anyone to build? Availability creates danger - someone has a psychotic break and builds up a bunch of guns in their garage and drops 200 people before they’re shot dead. I wish we could get rid of this Wild West mentality - it is entirely possible to build a world in which guns are unnecessary in most anyone’s day to day life.
