  • In the US at least, fine print isn't a free-for-all. There's still a lot of liability for the expectations of a "reasonable consumer."

    Unless a company is big and connected enough to make those protections disappear.

  • No transuranics, no operations — you know, they take your element — there are some places, your oganesson leaves for school, comes back livermoriun. Okay? Without parental consent. At first, when I was told that was actually happening, I said, you know, it’s an exaggeration. No: it happens. It happens. There are areas where it happens

  • "Ghost gun" is just a pejorative term invented to make "homemade firearm" sound more spooky. You have taken propaganda hook, line, and sinker. The only difference between a "ghost gun" and a regular gun is whether it was serialized by a licensed manufacturer. While there are a few extremely niche homemade guns that could be categorized as "disposable," the vast majority are Glock- or AR-pattern firearms that use a full complement of factory parts.

    It costs as much or more to finish your typical "ghost gun" than it does to build or buy a serialized firearm. They will also typically leave all the marks you'd usually expect on bullets and casings, because all the same parts touch the same way they do in a serialized firearm.

  • The difference is (in most jurisdictions), it's legal to do the first and illegal to do the second. If you are already a criminal, there's only one part of a gun that's a gun, and that's the only part that's illegal to sell you.
