Navigating global gun control for the curious, the thread
a.k.a. euro central.
This is a thread meant for discussion of draconian gun control practices seen all over the world and overcoming them.
No one /pol/ cares about guns and discussing technicalities with them proved rather funny, they claim you can EASILY make industrial grade brass forming machinery and make ammo casings.
Now, on topic: the question of regulating self-loading and repeating arms comes down to the ammo.
It is evidently true that it is impossible to restrict primitive single shot weapons and primitive repeating arms (primitive repeating arms being cap and ball revolvers and revolving rifles, absolutely possible to do since it's viable to make caps at home from thin metal)
But it is more than enough to ban the ammo casings to restrict the availability of self-loading weapons, because you need conventional ammo.
We are assuming a worst case scenario where the state actually does their job, the black market is nonexistent and filled with feds. Basically, it's impossible for the average man to get a hold of ammo casings.
I myself am Russian and have a ton of spent ammo casings sitting on my table right now. I have also successfully reloaded spent primers and reprimed those casings proving that it is viable, if a bit time consuming to make near factory grade ammo at home. I'm a bit afraid to link the exact compounds, but I believe people here already know them, I for example used the WW1 (the corrosive one), it worked well.
But what if I was in Brazil? In brazil, ammo casings are regulated, blank guns (easily converted to fire live ammo) and blank ammo is banned too, and while it's true the crime is high and you can get a gun via black market, let's assume the state works. Actually, Japan is a great example: ammo casings are regulated, hence the assassin used an electrically primed double barrel pistol.
CONT.
