Do they have a transcript? I can't stand listening to podcasts for long

Yes
Republicans be Pro-2A until the rich are threatened.
"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary"
It's funny how everyone has a sacred quote in support of their own beliefs.
Reminds me of those jokingly exaggerated portrayals of Muslims arguing on something, where in one place in Quran the prophet said this, and in another place the prophet said that, and such a renowned theologist interpreted the confusion thus, and another one a different way.
Everything humans make turns into a religion. Asimov got it backwards, that the Foundation could use their advantage in knowledge as a religion for barbarians, but IRL the Foundation itself wouldn't be able to control it all becoming religion.
I mean, OK, the Foundation evolved there, and their practices backfiring on them were one of the reasons, something had to be changed. I hope real life analogues have some plans for that.
Rich Republicans tbh. For the poor ones it's when race or "the gays" gets involved,.
tl;dr printers got cheaper
And they wirk with more than plastic. I have had that conversation several times. People honestly think all 3d printers can do is cheap plastic.
What else do they work with?
Metals, catbon fiber but I heard thise nozzles wear out fast. One printer i saw used lasers to weld metal powder into shapes layer by layer.
Oh yeah, I forget about sintered metal printers. Which is funny because that's one of the first ones I saw.
Carbon fibre is a big one.
And better and people got better at making 3d printed guns.
Printers improved too.
I started listening but was immediately assaulted by a progressive insurance ad so I am gonna go elsewhere lmao
Unless you keep the gun I guess.
How do you mean? You 3D print something with no serial and itβs untraceable. Even if they find it they canβt definitively say your firearm shot the bullets. Unless of course youβre on video doing it and admit to it.

Something tells me not doing that part is going to be harder for a significant portion of today's population than getting a weapon.
Thatβs true
You 3D print something with no serial and itβs untraceable.
Except for all the metal parts they used a debit card/paypal to buy.
Those would hard to teace and yu can pay cash. How many stores sell metal pipe withthe same inner diameter as a 45 caliber. It would be lole tracing meth lab by ammonia sales.
The only regulated parts (I know of) are:
-
receiver (considered the actual gun, this is the bit they print)
-
suppressors (not printable but you can make these homemade, though not as good and definitely not as reliable.)
-
autosears (or anything else that makes your gun fully automatic, or even act like it, usually these are super basic and printable)
-
big magazines (not federal but a lot of states have laws on em' Usually states with these laws will allow big ones to be sold with rivets, so they can usually be converted with a drill and new spring. Also they're just boxes w/ springs so you can print one.)
They're also starting to Anodize rifling into barrels using cheap 3D printed jigs, so some of the metal parts are now getting homemade too.
autosears
Autosears themselves are not actually regulated. It's the action of fully automatic fire that is. Which is kind of ridiculous because it's not terribly uncommon to have a gun do it by accident on worn out parts.

Yeah, you canβt easily print an entire gun, but the parts you buy donβt necessarily tie you to the gun.
The components aren't traceable either. They don't have serial numbers on them. Typically only the lower receiver does. This is why that's the part that's typically 3D-printed.
