Are you ready for what it takes to stop ghost guns? New laws in California and New York might stop anyone from 3D printing guns — and create entirely new kinds of surveillance. (www.theverge.com)

We can't depend on the government to protect us in dire situations.

We need guns. You know how I know that? If someone breaks into your house and starts threatening you with a knife, are they going to sit there and wait to be arrested just because you called 911?

Your American right? Only country I know where you need guns to feel safe. What a dry baby country.

Not sure if you're a paid troll or just dumb.

But like I said, you shouldn't fall back on the government to protect you, because they won't when it matters.

Isn't it weird how you'll talk about how all cops are bastards, but then you depend on them to protect you? Which is it? are you a boot licker who complies with everything you're told or are you self sufficient and independent?
