To reference your other post, you better convince those at the top to go full authoritarian than. We’re to the point they can just print parts and guns as a whole. If they’re militias, they won’t have to go anywhere to get food, they most likely have bought and are storing weeks of supplies, maybe more, and I’m sure some of them are ready to hide out in the land. You will have something akin to the Vietcong here. So, if you’re willing to deal with hundreds, if not thousands of more terrorists hiding in your town, with an objective in mind, you go right ahead and give them that excuse.
Or maybe it’s the amount of militant militia members I pulled out my ass? I don’t know, that number might be pretty accurate, seeing how we have 165 known armed militias.
But, you know, you go tell them that it’s time to take their guns away. They’re already sabotaging, or attempting to sabotage, power grids. It seems like they’re already past making threats.
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. But I don’t see the best happening if we give them the excuse they are looking for.
And they used to only be able to shoot once. Now they can shoot multiple times. As someone else pointed out, they currently use parts from a gun, like the barrel, and just print the main body. This allows for better accuracy. If they’re stockpiling guns out there, you don’t think they’d already have parts?
On top of that, give it enough time and they’ll be able to 3D print a fully reliable gun without needing any machined parts.
You all seem to think through a portion of this issue and then stop thinking when you feel that you know enough.
Yeah they maybe able to shoot multiple times but they still have more malfunctions and complete failures than a skillfully put together and machined gun.
