I feel like there's a common misconception that guns are hard to make. They're not. Even 'assault weapons', by and large, are extremely simple systems. This guy[1] made an AK47 out of a shovel, for example.
Similarly, guns are nearing the 'grows on trees' level of simplicity with 3D printing.

- anologwintermut 13y agoGun's are not that hard to make, I assume they are fairly hard to make in volume and quality. Australia, which has rather strict gun laws, does not, by my understanding, have a massive problem with illegal guns being manufactured. Nor does England. As for the hilarious "assault shovel", my understanding was he made the receiver but purchased the barrel and most of the other parts. It just happens that because of US law, the receiver is the regulated part.
