I’ve seen designs that only have one metal component a nail. There’s several 22lr designs that use entirely printed barrels. They won’t last as long and need to be designed around the material qualities, but do function safely.

There’s also a few designs that can be made with parts from hardware stores without any particularly expensive machinery (like mills or lathes). People can even rifle barrels at home through electro-chemical machining which isn’t as complicated as it sounds.

As a other commenter mentioned machinegun is a legal definition in the US, for a firearm capable of automatic or burst fire.

Here the author is referring to Glock switches an aftermarket design that exploits the design of semiautomatic Glock pistols to convert them to be automatic.

My understanding is that typically most of them tend to be ones bought online and shipped from China in bulk then resold once in the states.

As an American who has been to the EU I can say with certainty that each one of those factors changes within an hour drive from my home. Making them a US v EU debate on an individual scale is meaningless. There’s nice parts and bad parts of both.

It depends IMO picture or thumbnail with serious gore yes. Simply text or images in article no.

If people don’t want to see posts about certain subject matters they can filter out keywords to avoid them.

Legislation on packaging should really be entertained as well. For many products a biodegradable form of packaging would be completely viable.

People don’t like when you punch down. When a 13 year old illegally downloaded a Limp Bizkit album no one cared. When corporations worth billions funded by venture capital systematically harvest the work of small creators (often with appropriate license) to sell a product people tend to care.

Last I checked there was an instance rule preventing the posting of pictures of cheese without a trigger warning.

But nobody got convicted so the investigation doesn’t count!

The Due Process Clause will do that.

Barreling a crossbow is definitely a choice.
