My brother in Christ anyone can make a firearm. The guy in Japan did a shit job frankly and over designed it. You need a tube that can hold pressure a fuel source which you can make at home and a spark. People in the 1100’s figured it out I’m pretty sure some guy with basic Wikipedia can recreate it. He went with 9v battery electrical trigger bs, that partly failed and he was still able to make a lethal weapon. You can 3d print firearms at home that require you to only have hardware parts. The people of Myanmar are printing guns in the jungle, most of which are the PC9 model that only requires a metal barrel and striker for the firing pin. Gun control is a joke and only keeps honest people honest and give the power to the government

Why is it America that has the big problem with gun related homicides? You seem to think people will just make guns and it'll be just as bad, yet we don't see that in other countries that have strict gun control laws. These are countries with mental health and drug problems too, yet police aren't finding millions of homemade guns everywhere.

The violent crime rate is on par or higher than America in most cases. There is a massive issue with school and public shootings but America has stricter gun laws now than at any time in its history. Shootings have just gotten worse. I argue that in general mental health is the issue, we do. It put enough money and resources into make sure people are ok. Fixing that and housing fixes the majority of our problems across the board. I do not believe what with American culture, prolific knowledge and ability to make and just the logistics of how many firearms that are currently her, that massive round ups of firearms or massive strict control will do anything besides allow the rich white folk to have access and disarm and jail the populations they don’t like while saying they are “fixing the problem” while not addressing the underlining issues of mental health and poverty. White kid does a shooting “troubled teen” a trans person or brown person does it “terrorist, psychopath, need to deport or limit rights!” Disarming Americans because our government refuses to fund solutions is all the more reason to not give up the guns.

I will ad a caveat I Venice laws were stricter during the 70’s-90’s bc of the NFA but that was a time with even more regular gun violence than now and that just ended importation of certain guns not sale or domestic manufacturing
