stevemck··on The $1,200 Machine That Lets Anyone Make a Metal Gun at Home
Guns scare the shit out of me.

When I grew up in Australia where there is basically no guns. I used to walk on streets even on a drunken Friday / Saturday night without fear.

I moved to the US a few years ago and since then every corner I turn, I see people and I worry.

I don't worry about getting robbed. No. I worry about a gun fight somewhere and a stray bullet hits me. I worry that someone drunk might hold me at gunpoint and at a moment of misjudgement he/she shoots me.

It is pretty hard to get killed by being punched. On the other hand, it is pretty easy to lose your mind for a second and shoot someone

I hate this project, because now the barrier to entry of owning a unregistered gun is so much lower
