      I’m guessing most people aren’t happy.

      Not just in the gun community but like everyone.

      A gun is a technological marvel of a thing. Scientifically they are really very interesting. How they work is kind of ingenious, and their history and how they have so drastically changed the course of all history is fascinating.

      I don’t want to say that these people probably are all in that boat. But being a gun nut who wants to shoot someone isn’t the only reason to find something interesting. I feel the same way about fireworks and nuclear bombs. Looking at the work that had to be done by so many people in order to make a nuclear bomb and calculate what it would and could do? That’s as cool and intriguing as a space shuttle or an oil rig drill.

      3D printing is also really cool in and of itself.

          They’re mostly not. Guntubers have given a lot of people that didn’t grow up with/around firearms basic knowledge and safety info. It’s a pretty sweet deal.

              No. No, that’s not who I was referring to.

              If I had replaced guntubers with xxxxx you should’ve known what I was saying just from context. You’re denser than a gravy seal my friend.

                  I’ll have to add that one to the list. Thanks for that.

                  You don’t even understand the conversation, apparently. I don’t know why I expect more of people here, but hey - nothing to be done about it.
