    The gun’s name is an initialism for “Fuck Gun Control”, with the “9” referencing its 9mm cartridge.

    They’ve got the best branding

        Actually it’s less of a sidearm more of a pistol calibre carbine chambered in 9mm, and the dude that made it “mysteriously died” in german police custody so no more from him.

          Apparently he actually died in his car 2 days after a fruitless police raid, allegedly of “heart attack”.

          Not that it matters, there’s a bunch of people I’ve seen working on rifle-caliber 3D printed weapons now.

          Hell, I follow some folks on Twitter who were developing handmade anti tank launchers (which are actually legal for certain US States if they’re registered with the govt lmao). Definitely not going to get glowied any time soon im sure.

            The main difference is JSTARK was German and was snitched on by an Englishman, who I’d bet is the guy who filmed that piece on him for Popular Front that slimy bastard. (Also turns out he died two days after the raid not in custody, my bad!)

            All that is for sure legal stateside! (Well unless CA, NJ…)
