This technology is real.
Here's a a kind of bad video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DconsfGsXyA |
You can make a gun out of steel tubing and a nail if you want, but almost no one would bother, no one bothers now where guns are illegal.
Part of the problem for gun owners is understanding how quickly the U.S. Could go from being 'from my cold dead hands' to 'meh, I never used the things anyway' for almost everyone. And yes there would be a percentage of good old boy hold outs, but over a few decades they would disappear.
The other thing people need to realize is the U.S. Is the source for most illegal guns in the developed world, it is the only place you can legally easily buy guns to smuggle to the UK or Canada, the longer and harder the trip, the higher the price which is why a black market gun in the UK costs tens of thousands.
