I've mentioned this before, so I'll be brief. Guns are not hard to manufacture - a small machine shop will easily be able to do the job. My guesstimate is that there are over 10 million small shops in the US (including non-commercial garage and basement shops) with the machine tools and machinists which can do the job.
If you insist on a beautifully designed and produced gun, the number is smaller, but still very large. Sufficiently large to make complete regulation essentially impossible. They aren't as obvious as a meth lab, and look at the progress in stamping these out! I think I've posted about the book "Homemade Guns" which discusses making crude, but effective, guns using hand tools. Feel free to ask me for a cite and my book review. -- --henry schaffer _______________________________________________ To post, send message to [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.
