You’re correct on the vast majority of people aren’t violent and unreasonable part… but I very much think you’re missing a point.
Yes, you could mostly always buy something like a part to make a gun fully automatic or a suppressor online. Anybody with the slightest technical skills could make the full auto parts with some metal stock & a dremel. But a lot of people aren’t thinking into it that much when they’re impulsive.
But in the year 2000, you would have to put a bit of effort into finding these things online, and if you were underage it would have been much harder to instantly/easily purchase.
Now wish.com and everything else exist - you can find the parts in seconds, and you have a plethora of ways to easily purchase them underage & shipped to your door in two days.
Yes, the vast majority of these are ATF/Fed or whatever else honeypots… but sometimes that doesn’t really matter if you already have a plan & are ready the day your parts come in.
1000 rounds of 7.62x39 is ~$350. Do minimum wage workers not take in ~$350 weekly anymore?
- cestith 5y agoMinimum wage where? $7.25 for 40 hours is still $290 before taxes, yes? That's federal minimum wage in the United States, and that's only for untipped workers on W-2 who can manage to get a full time schedule. Some states have substantially higher minimums, though, and don't allow wage discrimination against wait staff.
- seabird 5y agoYou can make any firearm with a pistol grip that has the charging handle fixed to the bolt carrier full-auto by tying a string to a charging handle, wrapping it around the grip and then the trigger. You could very easily figure this out by just sitting down and looking at the gun. I can't think of a single instance where somebody has done this in a mass shooting. The fact of the matter is that full-auto guns are nowhere near as dangerous or "useful" for mass shootings as people think they are. 1000 rounds of Russian steel-case can be found with some effort for a price like that right now. With the Russian import ban, it's getting significantly harder to find. Federal minimum wage is $7.25 -- you might be able get 1000 rounds of 9mm if you find a deal and are willing to spend literally 100% of your paycheck on it. 1000 rounds of anything other than 9mm on federal minimum wage is a fluke that cannot be reliably repeated.
- s5300 5y agoYes I am very much aware of the shoelace machine gun per the ATF. The shoelace machine gun is essentially non-useable for any real form of attack. It’s stupid & a straw man to bring up imo. What you can order with overnight to two day delivery is quite a bit different in function than the shoelace machine gun. I think you are very much missing the bulk of the point here.
