Seriously, how hard is it to badly Paint-shop something like this? It'd be more artistic and wouldn't kill the planet

Yeah, and I bet not a single admin has ever used this feature. It's obscure, barely works, arguably causes more problems than it solves, and there are many other tools that fulfill the same use case, better.

This is one of those things I learned about because it wss in a textbook then never used again. The two or three times I asked about using as part of a solution at work, I got either a confused look or a "good joke" reaction.

That was close to ten years ago. This is the first I'm hearing about them since then.

I think this is the result of a culture in which they’re looking for ways to do more

All gun control is about controlling the actions of citizens who already abide by the law.

Poverty, unemployment, drug abuse, mental health, and income inequality are the causes of gun violence. Treat those root causes, and it doesn't matter how many guns there are.

If gun ownership directly translated to gun violence, Finland and Switzerland would have many times the rates of gun violence as the US. In those countries, the total number of guns owned might be smaller, but the overall percentage of people who own guns is nearly 100%. Those countries don't have the same problems with gun violence because they address the real root causes of gun violence.

I think the idea of printing a gun is to avoid detection in metal detector

Wrong.

Are you somehow under the impression a 3D printed firearm will explode in your face?

The real problem was always the grip being the serialized part of a firearm…

Not the grip, the receiver. Serializing the grip wouldn't make any sense. Sometimes the receiver includes the grip, sometimes it doesn't, it depends on the firearm.

Either way, it's basically the "frame" or "chassis" of the firearm. It doesn't make sense to serialize any other portion because you could just swap that part out and have an ostensibly different firearm.

Oligarchs hijack the government to oppose the will of people, obviously that means every single US American wholeheartedly supports their oppressors. You must read so many books to be that smart.

We adopted the standard. The boat with the official measurements sank on the way over, you unread swine.

AI, but could easily be done by hand.

Also, it should have a comma.

That's how the grift economy works; you take something illegal, give it a different name, and pretend it's something new and unregulated. The trick is to undercut all competitors with investor capital and put them out of business as quickly as possible. That way, by the time regulators try to pass laws against you, argue that you're "essential to the economy" now that you're the only one who operates in that sector.

Uber - No, we're not an illegal cab company, we're a "ride share service"

Air B&B - No, we're not an illegal hotel chain, we're landlords who sign one-day leases.

Kashi - No, we're not an illegal casino, this is a "prediction market"

Earn In - No, we're not an illegal lender, we're letting you access your future wages, today

Klarna - No, we're not an illegal credit card company, we just let you pay in four installments
