China is taking COVID very seriously. And many of us have been wondering, how is it that their numbers have been so low this whole time? Europe has been devastated. The riots in Europe, in the Netherlands particularly, are so bad that one mayor is saying it's like civil war, or I'm sorry, that we're on the verge of civil war over the COVID-restricted lockdowns. In the US, we've seen widespread riots and anger. Well, I would say the riots have been primarily fueled by other things. But definitely, many people have said that being pent up over the lockdowns and the restrictions has made people kind of angry and go nuts. And there's been a lot of riots because of it. But in Europe,

we've seen a lot. In Tunisia, we've seen over 600 people arrested. And the question is, once again, how has China managed to keep everything so tame? Well, it's simple. Better testing. Donald Trump should have figured this out. With better testing, we know exactly how many people have COVID and how to restrict them. And it was simple. China's been anal swabbing everybody to get a better reading. I'm not kidding. It's an actual story from Newsweek. China has been anal swabbing their citizens because they say it's a better test. And I'm sorry, Luke, he brought this up to me and I said, that's not true. I literally ran in the house. I was like, I told you so.

It's coming. It was here. If you remember a couple of days ago, I was here. I was like, what's next? They're going to literally start shoving things up of your buttocks. I said this on the show. I said this for years. I ran inside after I saw this Newsweek article, and I was like, it's here. It's finally here. It was coming to me. He was like, it's happening. I was like, I told you.

And it's not probing. It's not. Sorry. What was the term that they used? Anal swabbing? No, it's anal probing since it goes in two inches inside of you. And then they say they rotate it. Yes.

And I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Someone made a very inappropriate joke saying two inches. That's a lot in Asia. I'm not going to say who said that. But it's not swabbing. It is probing. The point is, when I heard this, I started laughing because I'm like, it kind of just

sounds like they're pushing our buttons to see how much we're willing to accept before we finally lose our minds. But apparently in China, everybody's okay with it. Is it forced anal swabbing? In China, everything's forced. They have a social credit score. You sneeze the wrong way, your credit's going to go down, and you can't even go see a movie anymore,

and your internet's going to be shut down. You've got to get tested in order to go in buildings. You get a phone with a barcode. And so if you want to get your test, and the only thing they're doing is shoving stuff up people's butts, guess what? It's either that or nothing. So welcome to the brave new world.

China's doing it. Look, but China also welded people into their homes and stuff like that. So I don't know what America would be willing to accept with this. But Dr. Fauci says, hey, two masks. Oh my God, why didn't we realize this?

If you wear one mask, just wear two. And then I'm kind of like, well, Dr. Fauci, what about three? Oh, that makes sense. I'm not kidding. Dr. Fauci is now saying we should wear two masks. Okay. Sure. Whatever.

I swear. They're just pushing buttons and laughing to figure out how much we're going to take before we finally snap. And things are getting crazy. I think if they start anal probing people here, they're go crazy no i don't you don't think so i don't think so what if it's forced though that's what i'm concerned about is that they're holding them down and they were like they're already saying that your kids can't go to school mouth is no good i mean some people might lose it but they're already saying like your kids can't go to school you can't go on planes unless you get your vaccine was it united airlines said all their employees have to get vaccinated now if they want to work there and people are

just like all right you know look i i i'm i got no problem with vaccines be completely honest i just don't like the idea of forced anything so if people are going to get some invasive forced medication or whatever then i think if they're willing to accept that come on man the vaccine goes in you it's there forever and if you got no problem with that then do you think people are really going to complain about having a swab shoved up their butt? Some people might. Some people are complaining about the vaccine. I'm just saying it's crazy.

Anyway, there's a bunch of other stories because we got in, like I mentioned, in the Netherlands, there's mass riots. So we'll talk about this. We've got the FBI is now saying they're going to actually be charging people with sedition. Xi Jinping was the talk of the town over at Davos. Liberals are all clapping and cheering for that guy. And this is interesting. The Oregon Republican Party says the Capitol was a false flag,

which is a bold statement the media is already screaming about. So we'll get to all this stuff. And then maybe we'll get to this. There's like a lost, what is it, Native American or whatever? Indigenous fortress to fight the Russians found. And I think it would be fun to talk about some weird and wild stuff. So we'll get into that. Ladies and gentlemen, that was a long intro.

And I got to introduce – we have a great guest. We have Alex Holliday of Control Pew. You do something – you do a thing. Tell me what that thing is, Alex. Yeah, so I'm part of a community that design and 3D print firearms. And we release them to the internet uh for free and uh people can make them at home you're teaching you're giving people designs to make guns at home yes is that legal yes wow in so in most places and federally speaking it is entirely

legal to manufacture your own firearms at home for personal use we were talking about this a couple episodes ago and we were talking about the Liberator. And I was like, isn't the 3D gun, like it fires once and like it breaks or something? And then people in the chat were like, dude, you are so far behind on the current tech. And I was like, well, I don't know. And so we got someone who doesn't know. There you go. He's chilling. And so we'll definitely talk about that stuff for sure. Of course, we got Luke talking about anal swabs. He's here. I've been warning about anal swabs and probings for 15 years. I'm an independent journalist, old man that's been doing work on the YouTube channel.

We are changed. Check me out there if you want to see years of warning you that the anal probes are coming. They're here in China. I believe you now. It's only going to get worse. Ian's chilling. The anal prophecy has come true. Luke, you were right.

Luke's anal prophecy. Alex, what's the best 3D printer or printers to get to make guns? If you're on a tight budget, if you only have, you know, you can get in for $200. If that's all you've got to spend, get an Ender 3 Pro. You can get them off Amazon. It takes like three days to your door. Cool. And you're basically set uh if you've

got a little more money to spend go for an ender 5 pro uh it's a little more robust of machine gets you a little further but they're still they're basically the same machine it's just like a little bit abs like plastic printing yeah exactly that you need still need metal parts don't you yeah in in in all of the designs we have now are require some metal parts like a bolt or a barrel. But we've also figured out how to easily manufacture these with common off-the-shelf parts. You can order mail order from China. So it's really like we've solved all the big problems to get to the gun. And you were talking about something.

I don't know if it's a top secret project. Your secret weapon. It's a little secret. It's been talked about a little bit in the back channels. We'll save the secret talk for later once we get into the nitty gritty. Don't forget Sire Patch. Let's see here. She's pushing all the buttons.

You're in the corner. I'm just thinking about colonoscopies as we're talking about probing people. So I don't know if there's any overlap. But people will do whatever you tell them to do if they think it's necessary. Before we get into all the news, make sure you go to TimCast.com and become a member. Ladies and gentlemen, we got top secret posts. Actually, it's not secret. It's members only posts.

And we made sure to put the members at TimCast email to make sure everybody gets through without error. We did a segment recently about the Portland mayor pepper spraying some dude. We kind of just ragged on him for quite a bit and all that stuff. But once I got another video of Alex Jones waking up Luke, oh, I'm definitely going to milk that for all it's worth, Luke. It's funny. It's not political. It's not news.

It's literally just watching some silliness. I'm still taking suggestions on who I should surprise Tim Pool with when he's sleeping, so feel free to message me that on my Twitter account, LukeWeAreChange. Become a member.

And if you really want to make sure that in the event we get banned, we still exist in some form, this is the way to do it. That being said, my friends, let's talk about anal swabs. Newsweek.com reports COVID anal swabs for Beijing residents more accurate, says Chinese expert. I'll tell you right away, I'm not going to bury the lead. They've been doing this for a long time now. So, you know, Luke is talking about some prophecy is actually already happening. Check this out. They say more than a million Beijing residents undergoing coronavirus testing amid a fresh

outbreak have been administered anal swabs, which are considered more accurate and raise the chances of detecting COVID-19 said a Chinese disease specialist. I got to stop right there. Okay, you know, I don't believe it. The swabbing in the nose makes sense

because it's a respiratory disease. How does it make sense that COVID's in your butt? In the mucus? Well, yeah, yeah. Because like you cough it up, right? Well, your butt has mucus in it. Does that mean COVID?

All right. You guys really want to get down there. It coats the feces. Does that mean you fart COVID right. You guys really want to get down there. It coats the feces. Does that mean you fart COVID? Yeah. Most undoubtedly. No, I don't know about that. I think there was an article.

I don't remember. I think, Lydia, you remember this more. Wasn't there an article that says that you transmit COVID through farts? You do. And it can be an STI. Did you know that? I keep telling you to stop farting all over the place, Tim. Hey, hey, hey.

We don't talk about that. All right. They say the key districts of Daxing and Dongcheng began a mass testing drive on Friday after a nine-year-old boy tested positive for the more virulent strain of the virus first discovered in London and the southeast of England last month. Health authorities in the Chinese capital said they were aiming to screen more than 2 million people in 48 hours. Among them, around 1.6 million inhabitants of Daxing were to be given antibody tests as well as throat, nasal and rectal nucleic acid swabs. Wonderful. Anal swabs have been in use since last year, including in the major port city of Shanghai. But the method is so far reserved for individuals in potential COVID-19 hotspots, according to an infectious disease expert quoted by China state broadcaster CCTV on Saturday. Quote, since the start of the coronavirus outbreak, we've tested for the virus using mainly throat swabs.

Its characteristics are convenience and speed. So it's suitable for large scale testing. Said Beijing Yuan Hospital's Li Tongzeng,al swabs are more accurate than throat swabs, but nasal swabs can be uncomfortable. Ah, well, there's a solution to that discomfort. In some asymptomatic cases or in individuals with mild symptoms, they tend to recover from the illness very quickly.

It's possible that there will be no trace of the virus in their throat after three to five days. What we found is that in some infected patients, the coronavirus survives for a longer period of time in their digestive tract or excrement than in their respiratory tract. Couldn't you just take a dump in a cup and give them the cup and leave? It's simple, yeah. No. They want

to jam something up your butt. It's got to be fresh. We're laughing at this. It's like laughing as the Titanic is sinking. Do you have a picture of the swab by any chance? We got to throw one up on the screen i posted about this story and everyone's sending me very inappropriate pictures of what allegedly is the is the pictures of cuomo from cnn and other items uh that i can't describe here on this very family-friendly show but but again

the medical experts here are saying that this is going to help the rate of detectability and lower the chance of misdiagnosis so uh yes the article i have an image uh i have an image of the swab here just yeah just to show everybody okay i see the screen from the from lydia's computer chris cuomo i'm kidding by the way that was cnn when cnn is doing news and they're like I see the screen from Lydia's computer now. And Cuomo's gigantic cotton swab. Chris Cuomo. That's a tap. Oh, sorry. I'm kidding, by the way. That was CNN when CNN is doing news, and they're like, look at this prop comedy we're doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We get it. It's not real. But also, most importantly, the article goes on and says, on Friday, a resident of Tangzhan in Hubei province, about 120 miles east of Beijing, told CCTV that she was given double rectal swabs probes they're really probes because they go inside to two inches inside of you as part of a city-wide testing in her area she said she said each swab took just under 10 seconds so you were talking about people being pent up and uh they're definitely going to have to loosen up with all these new government testings. And you were questioning, is it mandatory?

Is it voluntary? In China, nothing is voluntary. If you make fun of the government, government officials will literally take you away at night, sit you down in a chair where you're handcuffed with your feet and hands, and will interrogate you until you apologize for making fun of the government, if you're lucky. Otherwise, a lot of people just get their organs harvested in China for criticizing the government. And, of course, things like this. Having the wrong religion.

Yeah. This, of course, is not something that is going to be voluntary. There's a viral video of a dude in a chair with braces. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. And the cops are like, so why did you say you don't like police? And he's like i'm so it's all in mandarin he's like i'm so sorry i didn't mean it i was just drinking and they're like you were drinking you think that absolves you of responsibility you thought it was okay to

make fun of the police and he's begging them i'm so sorry it's a black room and he's he's bolted down to a chair as they're like threatening him and demanding you apologize and say he'll never do it again there's another video where a woman turns her phone camera on and puts it down you hear a knock on the door and then cops come in and just randomly arrest her and she's like what's happening and they're like shut up you're under arrest i think she was one of the people warning the world about covid uh because a lot of nurses a lot of doctors a lot of lawyers a lot of journalists went to jail and are still missing because they were telling people of the world hey there's this mystery virus going around last year. And then the Chinese government was hiding that fact, of course,

making sure the world was unprepared when they knew. There's some reports and intelligence from November that the Chinese government knew that there was this new strain of coronavirus that was going around that they knew was going to be a major issue. They instructed Chinese nationals and other countries to start collecting ppe buying it up and sending it back to china so that they would have it other countries wouldn't that's what they do you know i mean i can't blame them for fighting for their own personal interest or their own national interests but i can't blame them for

the freaky authoritarianism and all that stuff now Now, listen, here in the United States, we don't have these anal probe things going on. Yet. Yet. Considering Xi Jinping was the talk of the town over at Davos, I wouldn't be surprised if they come back and they're like, you're not a bigot, are you? Stop being so prude and accept your probe. OK, well, we don't have that going on for now. But we do have Fauci saying two masks. Why didn't anybody think of this?

We were all wearing one mask to stop the spit from coming out. Now, Fau have Fauci saying two masks. Why didn't anybody think of this? We were all wearing one mask to stop the spit from coming out. Now Fauci is talking about two masks. Perhaps he's talking about wearing a mask on your butt to stop the butt COVID from coming out, but he's not. He's talking about wearing two masks on your face. The New York Post says two face masks are better than one, Dr. Fauci said Monday. The infectious disease specialist advised the double masking is a logical way to curb the spread of the coronavirus. If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on. It just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective, Fauci said on the Today Show.

The White House advisor explained that face coverings prevent respiratory droplets and the virus from spreading to other people, as well as protecting the wearer. Oh, now they're saying it protects you. He's saying it would likely be better. So he's not saying it would be. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. Yeah. Well, this is also the same guy that just a few months ago was telling us not to wear

masks. It's not safe. You don't know what you're doing, especially if you're not a medical professional. Stop buying and using all the masks. And, you know, what's the point if someone farts and toots anyway, you're going to get COVID. So what's the point of having a mask? Well, more specifically, his tone. So this was this was last year when a bunch of conservatives were like, go quick, go buy masks.

And the media was like, oh, geez, don't buy masks. And the Chinese government was buying up a lot of the masks. Fauci's attitude wasn't just, well, you don't need to buy masks, and here's why. It was really condescending. It was like, oh, you don't need masks. Oh, come on. A mask isn't going to protect you. Don't bother.

And then we even had the Surgeon General saying the same thing. And then, sure enough, something weird happened where conservatives and the left flipped on the issue. And then all of a sudden, conservatives were the ones not wearing masks, and the left were the ones wearing masks. I have no idea how that happened. But there you go. Probably because Fauci said it, I guess. And then Trump didn't wear a mask. And then there you go.

Look, I see this story about Fauci saying we should wear two masks. And I know it's not the same as, you know, shoving stuff up people's butts. But it really does feel like they're just pushing our buttons to see, like, how long until someone just finally gives up and just like snaps, goes crazy. Well, people in Holland, it looks like a lot of them are snapping already, especially with a lot of the civil unrest that's happening there. There's been a lot of protests all over the world that have not been talked about. They're not getting a lot of media coverage. It looks like the larger algorithms aren't really even interested in them. But I think I agree somewhat with your point there. But we have to understand a lot of these so-called medical professionals, a lot of these experts,

they were wrong from the very beginning, whether it was their projections, whether it was their recommendations, they were flat out wrong. And they haven't admitted it. They haven't had any accountability. They haven't faced any repercussions for actions that did lead to some severe ramifications that they should be held responsible for. And unless that happens, it's hard to believe them from here. In the beginning, everyone believed them. That's my issue is you've got a lot of people who don't trust the medical professionals and like the experts on COVID and stuff. Yet when you talk about how Fauci was wrong early on, they say, well, science is always wrong. That's the beauty of science.

You can get it wrong and you fix it later. And I'm like, that's great. So you're admitting that there's reason for people to doubt the scientists? Because look, for the most part, I think the only thing a sane person can do is just follow the standard guidance as it is. It's the best you can do. There's this movie. I don't know if you guys have ever seen it called The Man from Earth. You ever hear of it? It's about it's like it's like a one shot film where they're all in just a room. And long story short, it's this guy who is immortal. And he tells all these stories about how he's lived through all these different periods.

And they're like, you must be the smartest guy in the world. And he's like, why? I only know what everyone else knows. I don't know everything. And a lot of the old information is bad. And that's the way I see it. Like for me, look, if they come out and they say wear a mask,'ll be like what am i supposed to do pretend like i'm smarter than these actors no i got no problem wearing a mask but come on come on when you come out you're like now wear

two masks it's like i'm already wearing a mask dude like and besides what masks are you talking about like what if i'm wearing like a crazy scarf wrapped around all the way my face where i put something else over it it's just a nonsensical statement we're already wearing masks dude yeah you would think they would talk about Yeah, you would think they would talk about vitamin D. You would think they would talk about... Well, he did, he did. Fauci's told people to get vitamin D for sure. Okay, that's a big surprise

because a lot of government officials, a lot of foreign policy hasn't even addressed that basic factor of health, of sleep, of stress, of diet, of exercise, of going out there, getting proper sun, getting proper vitamin D. And if he did mention it, there's also a lot of scientists screaming about this from the very beginning, since there are results showing that vitamin deficient people have a horrible time dealing with this.

A lot of people are extremely vitamin deficient, vitamin D deficient, especially with all the lockdowns that have taken their ability of even going outside you know i'm gonna do i'm gonna clean my mask when's the last time you guys washed your mask what do you mean washed what is that give us some soap rinse it off squeeze it out let it air dry huh what a novel idea time to wash your mask folks but that is something people bring up a lot i was kidding by the way yeah that people keep reusing the same mask and they're getting festering and filthy. Two times. There are videos of people getting like crud on their mouths and stuff.

Dude, wash your mask. I mean, Fauci, tell people to wash their masks. A lot of people wear disposable ones, to be honest, though. I guess that's what he's saying. Like wear a disposable one under your permanent one. Oh, that's specifically what he was saying? I don't know. But it's like a picture of people doing it.

It's just the weirdest thing. Is he a stock in the mask industry? Maybe. Yeah, yeah, there you go. In the Chinese manufacturing plants that produce these goods that can ship back to the U.S.

The same masks that protect you from the virus that came out of China? Yeah, so I'm starting to think that they told us not to wear masks at the beginning so that China could buy

all our masks up and we wouldn't be, like, getting in their way. And I'm curious why he's telling people to wear double masks and why he's not telling them to wear like the higher technology masks that might actually protect you from the virus. Or telling people not to fart. Right. Exactly. Keep it together. The joke now is that Fauci is eventually going to tell us all to wrap our, what was it? Babylon B, I think. Fauci says everyone should wrap themselves in plastic to protect themselves

from the virus. It's like a woman and she's like all mashed up and tangled in plastic wrap and can't move. I'm glad you said it because I was going to make that joke. I mean, my joke was that, and I think I made this joke a year ago. In like 2030, everyone will be wearing gray jumpsuits with no pockets. And they'll have shaved heads. And they'll carry nothing on their person. They'll own nothing. And they'll just walk to and from like public transport and work. And then I realized that although that would probably be fairly extreme, it's not extreme enough for

where we're at in terms of critical race theory. People would have to be, you would have this white box over your body that you held. So no one would know how tall you were. And you'd have a voice modulator where you would type inside your box and tall you were and you'd have a voice modulator where you would type inside your box and then it would you do a computer voice no one would know your gender no one would know how tall you are nobody would know your race nobody would know what you sounded like and that's the only way to ever actually achieve some kind of equality but then you have the problem of some people just being naturally more talented or faster what do you do and then we get into that he capped up no no, no, it's that book. Harrison Bergeron. Harrison Bergeron, yeah, where

the beautiful people have to like, what do they do? They wear terrible makeup or they wear bags over the heads and the really good people at dancing get weighted down or they get their feet cut off. The smart people have things in their ears that scream random sounds to like interrupt their thinking so they can't be smart. Well, they're already starting

to cut back on the gifted programs in many public schools all over the united states which uh i find uh kind of crazy to do so uh they're doing it because of equality but but you're you're preventing people from getting a better education than they normally would and you're holding people back because of other people not doing that well i mean it just doesn't make any logical sense to me you're saying you don't believe in equality? No, I don't. Hell no, I don't.

You're saying that you're a bigot? No, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying a lot of people have gone absolutely mad with this idea that we're all supposed to be equal. When you look at nature, I mean, nothing's equal in nature, and it's all about survival of the fittest. And I think we as humanity will progress once we understand that and open ourselves up to that kind of understanding, which will help us move forward in life more accurately and correctly. This is something that Michael Malice brought up.

He said how you define the new right is this. Let me ask you a question, Alex. Do you think that some people are better than others? Yes. That's it? Yeah. So he said the right will tell you yes and the left will give you an explanation or like you know justify or something and i just said my answer was like simply yes but it's an interesting way to define it and i see his point

but i'm like i'm not going to argue with you it's a very simple statement some people are better than others now if you want to get into, some people are better at basketball than others. It's very obvious. But the left views it from a very, like, identitarian view. Like, when you ask them, are some people better than others, they take it to a racial or gender or, like, you know, inherent identity place. Whereas my initial reaction was, like, that's a very broad question that could mean a bunch of different things. Some people are better at printing guns than I am. And some people know a lot more are better at me than answering gun trivia than I am. Yeah, absolutely. You know, it reminds me like

when I was little, I would always hear like these teenage girls use the word ignorant. They'd be like, that's so ignorant. You're so ignorant. And I'm like, do you know what ignorant means? It means like not understanding or like lacking knowledge. they're like no it means rude and i'm like no it doesn't like i understand the concept you think you're using your con the context you think you're using it in but i was like everyone is ignorant in some form and they'll get all angry about it was it annoying when you were young how like the sometimes popular people would be stupid and they they'd say stupid stuff like that and you'd be like uh have to just deal with it because they were like part of the gang the popular gang of i mean they

were smart they were really dumb unpopular kids too and they were i don't know where i grew up it was kind of so frustrating when the people that are like lauded by the crowd are not necessarily the smartest people what are they lauded by the crowd for? Because they're beautiful? Because they're good at sports? Because they're fast? I don't know. Not everybody is smart. They say stuff like, ignorance means stupidity. But that's the important point about the question.

Are some people better than others? You could be stupid, but strong as an ox. And then you have talent. Well, some people are better at certain things than others, but those other people might be better at certain things than them. So to say that some people are better at certain things than others but those other people might be better at certain things than them so to say that some people are better than others is not accurate i don't think it is i think no it's situational but like you might be better at shooting guns but

i might be better at doing math you're absolutely you're better than me or i'm better than you yes it does yeah we're both better than each other so it's redundant this is exactly the point i was just making when you ask someone if some people are better than others i'm not making a judgment on a person's value i'm i'm analyzing a very simple statement about whether some people are better than others but that doesn't make sense because if you're better than me at something and i'm better than you at something then we're both better than each other it cancels it does people are better than so you couldn't say that i'm better than you you couldn't say that you're better than me but you just said i'm better than you know but you can't equate like skateboarding with shooting guns or different things.

So that's the point. Some people are better at certain things than other people. This is exactly the point. You're overanalyzing the question. No, I'm analyzing the question. No, you're overanalyzing it. I'm not. I'm simply giving you a factual analysis of the question.

I think you don't understand Michael Malice's question. His question is too simplistic. On purpose. Yeah. The point is the right will simply say yes and the left will give you an explanation. And that's exactly right. Whereas we view it very simply,

you are going into great detail about what quantifies certain things and that's new right versus new left. That's exactly his point. Okay. I don't think I'm on the left personally. But to Michael Malice's question, you would be.

Okay. Thanks, Mike. Well, I guess it would be okay and that and that thanks mike well i guess it would be probably better for michael to to to more accurately define you know how that works but i i understand you know it's when i ask this of like general lefties they'll start saying like well what do you mean by better and like well not everybody and it's like okay there you go like you say no more that's the point you. Different world views and different – like I guess as – who made this point? Who was on the show?

Matt Brainerd. Inductive reasoning versus deductive reasoning is like your emotions versus logic, et cetera, and things like that. But how about we derail entirely back to the discussion about – should we talk about the riots in Holland and the civil war coming to the Netherlands? Yeah, and tie it in with guns because Alex is here here and i want to know about well they don't have guns guns they don't know but they could they sure could they could this is well i don't i don't know if that would be a good thing or not i mean perhaps uh it's a good thing for individuals to have the ability to defend themselves i think in the context that i'm trying to say is when people are out in the streets fighting and you know fighting you know, you know, there's fear of a civil war.

Maybe we don't want people escalating to that point. The problem is one side already has guns and they're using them. So I'm not saying they're using live rounds and the people in the Netherlands. But here's the story. The Daily Mail says lockdown fury sparks a third night of violence in Holland with hundreds of protesters looting shops, torching cars and battling police. The Netherlands hit by a third night of writing on Monday with clashes in Rotterdam, Amsterdam and The Hague. Police and said police said 184 people have been arrested by Tuesday morning and promised more arrests would be made. Hundreds of rioters had looted shops, set fires and clashed with police who responded with water cannons.

It comes into the Netherlands, introduced a coronavirus curfew from 9 p.m. until 4 to 30 a.m. to bring cases down. Now, I believe it was the mayor of Eindhoven who said that we are on the verge of civil war. And I think it's actually, is it up here? I don't know. They change their articles so much. Here we go. Rioters first struck on Sunday night in Amsterdam.

Eindhoven. What did I call it? Eindhoven? Eindhoven and multiple other towns seeming to catch authorities off guard and prompting warnings from some politicians of civil war. John Yoritsma, mayor of Eindhoven, warned bluntly that we are on our way to civil war. Yeah. They say despite the unrest, many countries in Europe are considering tightening their

lockdowns. This is an impossible conversation, an impossible discussion, to be completely honest. People often ask, like, where's the line in government intrusion until you say enough and then demand a regis of grievances to the point where there's clashes, right? Because I tell you, in China, they're shoving swabs up people's butts. At a certain point, the line has been breached. Right. But for now, it is a fact that in this country, the line can never be crossed. There's no line.

There's no point. There's like you could have a bunch of people who have no plan thinking they're going to occupy a building. And that's the revolution. It's not. But there's there's there's I think we're at a point where there is a global security infrastructure that's not going to allow for that to happen. So it could all break down at some point when people just lose it, I guess. Yeah. Well, in the Netherlands, this is the third night of widespread rioting and violence that even some local politicians are saying will continue for days or weeks.

They burned down many testing facilities. They're fighting police officers in the street. And this is predominantly over the lockdown restrictions and specifically this curfew because a lot of people are saying, what, does the coronavirus not infect you under a certain time? Does the coronavirus have a bedtime? And there have even been studies showing that curfews are absolutely pointless and they do nothing except hinder daily life and allow the police to have an excuse to take away your liberties or your money away from you alex you had something to say no it's it's complicated yeah because we can go deep in like the philosophical discussion on when you lose like your national sovereignty and you start having those civil – the civil war sort of clashes and armed resistance.

And what happens when one side of that – when the side of that argument where the people who don't think that their government has the authority to sort of rule over them anymore. What happens when that group doesn't have any quality of arms with their, for lack of a better term, their masters? So, I mean, there's a real philosophical argument to get into. And you see a lot of it through Portland, through the Antifa riots. A little bit of it popped up in D.C. And I don't know. It's – You know what I think? The armament of the people changes the threshold for when those people will react violently.

And so you look at somewhere like China, and the state is a massive security state with censorship, control of all weapons. There's the likelihood of an uprising is slim to none, because the odds are so much against the people. There's concentration camps in China right now. In the US, it's a bit more precarious, because you have to think about the amount of pressure on an individual to make them act, and the capability they have to think about the amount of pressure on an individual to make them act and the capability they have to actually accomplish something. In a place like China or in Europe, the ability to accomplish something when you have an armed state versus an unarmed populace is slim unless you have critical mass. So the line at which it becomes a civil war like this, you know, Dutch mayor is saying is further away than is in the united states in the united states you can get one crazy guy with powerful weapons who feels he can actually do something that's scary to me it is because we want stability we don't want instability

we're not we're not currently dealing with people getting anal anally swabbed but we do have the curtailing of our freedoms i i think the question is for the u.s even with the curtailing of our freedoms. I think the question is for the US, even with the curtailing of our freedoms, we're still pretty much living in luxury relative to other places. Yeah. But also against that kind of sentiment that you said, in Europe, all you need is a truck. And there have been incidences where there have been deadly events that have been far more impactful than shootings in the United States because of some crazy person saying, I'm just going to run a whole bunch of people over with a truck. So that's another sentiment here that we need to understand. But what I mean is, if in the US they started doing mandatory anal swabbing, I imagine things would break down really fast.

A lot of social justice warriors would probably like that. They would probably like that. Yeah. So maybe, sure, if you want to make the argument that maybe in cities things would just go along, like we've seen what's going on with New York. They just go for it. But think about that. The cities are unarmed. For the most part, people in the cities are not, are completely unarmed and would just

go with whatever they're told. Then you, I mean, just look at the militias in this country and the groups that are armed. They tend not to be living in cities. So either they're moving out for more freedom or they're more self-reliant and more don't tread on me. You look at places like the Netherlands, the point I'm trying to make is, you require

very few people and much less rage and oppression for an armed population to rise up and say enough. Whereas in the Netherlands you're going to have people who are like, what am I going to do about it? I can't do anything. I'm'm on my own but eventually when you get thousands of people in the street that's when things when that line is crossed so you need more people and more oppression for an unarmed population to finally snap and revolt which i think is a very simple equation

it explains why governments don't want people to have guns especially democrats don't want people to have guns which is why i think you know what you're you know doing uh alex is it's going to be interesting i guess the way people say it is the cat's out of the bag gun control is over yeah can't can't do sorry i hit the table uh can't do much about it it's it's you know people and the the kill the kicker is people have been making guns in their homes for the last 100 years before the advent of 3D printing. Now, what's the laws with that? Because I know some people don't really know how clear it is, what they can do, what can't they do legally. Right.

So on the federal level, it is entirely legal if you are federally able to possess a gun. So you're not a felon. You're not a domestic abuser um there are a couple other criteria in there that i'm not on the top of the top of the mind you can't be a drunkard uh no you can't be i don't know when you buy a gun it asks you are you a drunkard and if you put yes they say guy you can't have a gun no for real yeah yeah i'm a reform that you have to yeah the rested for public intoxication. No, it just says, are you a drunkard or habitual drinker? That must be an old law.

Yeah. And I think there's also something about... Oh, are you addicted to alcohol or any other substances? Right, right. Yeah. And I think there's also another section about psychological issues, right? You can't beat your wife. Yeah.

Or your husband. Right. So there are a couple of criteria that will disbar you from owning a firearm. But if you're able to own it, then you should be able to make it without any real hangups, mail-order parts, and straight to your door. What can't you manufacture locally? What parts? There aren't any at the moment you can make a full auto you can you can you can legally make your own oh okay no i see sorry i understand what you're you cannot legally make a make a machine gun because you cannot legally possess a machine gun right yeah all right the law actually stops the manufacturing machine guns that's it right

you can old grandfathered machine guns right right so there was a machine gun registry before they were forbidden um and you can own those they're very expensive somewhere in the realm of like twenty thousand dollars for one what if you had like a gun with 30 barrels that filed fired 30 rounds the exact same time that's volley fire which is legal under the law really yeah oh i didn Oh, I didn't know that. See, it's not just a thing, it's a dumb question. Yeah, there was a revolver that came out recently that has two barrels. You fire two, I think, 238 specials out of it. I could be wrong, or two 22s. But with one pull of the trigger, you get two bullets out of two barrels.

So only if you want to transfer a firearm, do you have to contact the ATF and get a serial number for that firearm? Is that correct? The jury is out on that one. Okay. Because the ATF usually changes its mind more than politicians flip-flop. Right. And they're all over the place with their definitions, which are very confusing. Their kind of understandings and their legal arguments are kind of all over the place. So to get into the nuts a little bit, it's manufacturing exclusively for personal use, not for sale or distribution.

So if you make it with the intent to give it away, you've committed a felony. If you make it with the intent to sell it, you've committed a felony. If you make it with the intent to use it solely for yourself for whatever you are using it for then you're fine wow so i pulled it up uh i just googled it and we have uh it's it's uh t-rex smallarms.com arsenal firearms af 2011 double barrel pistol in 38 super yep so it is a handgun with two barrels it's four thousand dollars five-barrel, semi-automatic, .38 super caliber, fires both barrels with one pull of the trigger.

Now, why would you want that? Because it looks cool. I mean, I'm not saying you shouldn't have it. You can flex on your friends with the same gun, but only one barrel. Look, I'm cooler than you. But I think about the question the left often asks is, like, why would anyone need this?

Is there is there? First, I understand the immediate response is it doesn't matter. I don't need a reason. I have a Second Amendment right to own arms that I get. But is there like a real functional or tactical reason to having volley fire or double barrel, you know, one trigger pull two bullets? Well, I mean, you're putting twice the of of projectile into whatever you're shooting at so if you're you know if you're if you're hunting bear with an ar-15 you're gonna want more than one round but you really shouldn't be hunting bear with an ar-15 so we talked about this though we

talked about um full auto is actually bad tactically you know uh tactically generally speaking it just wastes a lot of ammo uh in in most like a military type engagement you're going to be shooting at an individual target um there is an argument for it where you're talking about suppressing fire coming from machine guns um but when you when you start getting into like fully auto out of a 30 round magazine it's kind of not great like it's it's useful for the military There's a reason that they have it. If you're in a pinch and you just click the button over,

fine. Don't they call it spray and pray? Yeah. Spray and pray. I just wanted to do a clarification also. Nancy Pelosi lately said that she wanted crewman machine guns on these things. They're actually called crew-served weapons. My friend that was in the Army was like, please tell everyone.

We just read what Ken Cuccinelli said know and he said crew manned machine guys yeah he's part of the patriarchy patriarchy crew so uh crew served you can't make full auto right but that's not that's full auto is not even a good thing anyway so it seems kind of redundant yeah i mean again there's there's an argument for it you know if you can control it then you can be accurate with it and that's a training thing which you need exposure to train with it um so there are arguments for and against um are there guns that will automatically fire when they target the person uh you're talking like an automated turret yeah like if you turn it and it sees the the person or the target or the deer or whatever that then it will fire when it sees it yeah kind of there was a company called tracking point they made a really fun optic um

and they i i think a later iteration they built it into a full rifle platform where you're hunting and you see the deer and you want to hit it at a specific point to get a good clean kill on it. And so it would wait until you would pull the trigger and then you would adjust your position so you would line up properly. And once it lined up properly, it would fire. It's been years since i've seen this yeah and i i don't know if i'm remembering it exactly so don't quote well you want to make sure you don't wound a deer because they're going to run away and they're going to be injured and they're going to be suffering there's a specific place on the deer i think in the in the long heart area correct me if i'm wrong that you have to if you shoot once it's it's a it's a pretty

good sign that you're it's gonna be a a short a clean kill and and the animal's not going to suffer right you know you know i was wondering um i've read a lot about how certain places have like really high crime like i hear west virginia has a lot of high crime and like these a lot of these places outside of cities have high crime they say new york has low crime and i'm like why is it then that people in West Virginia, there's not many police around, and people just get along just fine or get by just fine. And why is it in New York,

we're hearing these massive spike in murders and things like this. Wasn't some guy just beaten and stripped naked in the street in New York? Yeah, I remember watching that video. Probably? There's a video of it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I've seen stuff like that in real life in New York City growing up. I've seen crazy things that would spark people's PTSD if I described what I saw growing up.

This is from six hours ago. Man seen stripped and beaten in New York City. Attack was known gang member with lengthy criminal history. Victim is expected to survive. So the 26-year-old victim was in the area of Canal and Allen around 1130 a.m. on Friday when the group of about a dozen men and women jumped him and took his cell phone, pants, undergarments, and shoes. They then used a sharp object to slice him in the head, hands, and torso.

The victim was taken to a local hospital where he's expected to survive. On Monday, the police commissioner, Dermot Shea, released a 50-second video of what he called a brazen broad daylight attack. The footage shows the man running away from the group as they catch up and begin beating him. Police sources told the New York Post the victim lives in Brooklyn and had just returned from Atlanta. The violent crew had reportedly been staking out the nearby bus stop for the man's arrival. Police said they fled in several vehicles after the attack. A law enforcement source confirmed to Fox News the victim had been linked to the violent Mac Baller Brim's gang.

If the shoe was on the other foot, he'd be part of that gang, the source said. So it's just gang violence, I guess. Yeah. This is an interesting thing. Like Chicago is an interesting gun conversation. Chicago's got a bunch of people with illegal guns and they go around shooting each other all the time. And I think that's what the left uses an argument for gun control. Criminals who take the guns and then are causing problems and murdering people over the place.

I guess for me, I've always kind of wondered if the guns are already illegal and they're committing murders with them. Why would passing a law stop them from committing a murder which is already illegal I mean like that's the worst crime yeah well we're killing somebody we see a lot of liberals one of the worst we see a lot of liberals talk about gun homicides and they keep forgetting that most of them are from illegal guns and jurisdictions that already banned them other uh gun deaths are because of suicide and then I think the third third highest level of gun death rates are from police officers shooting people. So if you're for gun control, you're not really for gun control. You're for having individuals with guns take away other people's guns at the threat of using guns.

That's essentially what you're for, and you should just be honest about it, that you want people robbed of their ability to defend themselves, while, of course, the politicians want literal machine guns protecting them all the time. I like the idea of having an armed society. It's kind of cool, because if a group does rise up to overthrow the government with guns, which in Holland they're probably afraid of, you have the rest of the population also armed to protect the country from the overthrow civil war well ideally i mean that's possible that did happen in the 1800s but ideally it would it would be a swift justice they always say that with war it wouldn't man i mean we've got 75 million trump voters 80 million biden voters but it's better than i think a totalitarian dictatorship the threat of civil war is better than a totalitarian dictatorship the threat of civil war it's better to know that there's a possible like the idea that a civil war could happen means that the dictatorship is less likely to happen you always want to reduce harm and when what usually reduces harm

is individuals being able to defend themselves because people then don't take offensive, aggressive actions against them. They say an armed society is a polite society. And I think we're seeing that in places like Florida and places like Texas, where people have the ability to protect themselves, unlike other jurisdictions like Chicago, New York City, and a lot of the other big cities where you can't, and gang violence has been skyrocketing because all the gang members know people are defenseless. People can't defend themselves if they do have a firearm.

But now in many places, I think in Chicago, you can have a gun. But I think it's really difficult. I grew up there, and for the longest time, all weapons were just outright banned. I think the only legal weapon you're allowed to have is a rubber switch. You know what that is? It's like a long piece of rubber with a little ball at the end, and you whack people with it. What about a knife?

No, knives, that's illegal. Really? Yeah. In Times Square, the biggest arrests that were made were individuals that came in from out of New York who had pocket knives. that happened. I forgot the exact statistic here, but I heard a very wild one that the majority of arrests in New York happened because of tourists having guns on their hip. Oh, right. I imagine it's like a knife of a certain length.

Yeah, it's like longer than three and a half inches or something. So that's like a pocket knife. You get a certain pocket knife. Or maybe you've got like a utility knife or something you carry around for nail clippers. Yeah, and then they're like, well, that's a crime. Can't have that um alex do you know how many 3d printed guns are in existence is that even measurable um not really i mean i i broke 25 000 across socials so i imagine there's at least 25 000 um i i would severe i would surely hope that there are many, many, many times that number.

And I, I believe that there are, but I, I would have no one that there, there's no way to count. So most people are making them in the privacy of their own home. And if they're doing it right, they're not telling anybody.

So we were talking about this a while ago, like last week, I think about ghost guns and some people were saying they were illegal. And then a bunch of like, no, no, no, they're totally legal.

So ghost guns are legal. Is that correct? Yeah. So if you, a minute ago, we were they're totally legal. So ghost guns are legal. Is that correct? Yeah. So a minute ago, we were talking about how you can manufacture. Any gun you manufacture at home for your own personal use is what politicians are calling a ghost gun. They are one and the same. So it's not just 3D printed stuff. It's not just the 80% kits that you buy.

It's anything that you're making at home. So how does the 80 kits that you buy it's it's anything that you're making at home so what's how does the 80 kit work so uh basically a company went said uh went to the atf and said hey is this uh so okay i need to back up the atf regulates one one specific part of a firearm that is the as a firearm it's the serialized part it's the one part that you actually have to go to an ffl a gun store to buy and what part is that it varies based on the firearm on a glock it's the polymer frame uh on an ar-15 it's the lower receiver where the trigger and the magazine go into um so that's the serialized part now what these 80 companies did is they went

to the atf and they had a partially finished one that they sent them the the law and said hey is this a firearm yet the atf said no so the the industry called it an 80 complete firearm yeah so it's not quite a firearm and you can you can buy it it ships straight to your door and you finish it on basic tools. There's a couple of kits out there. One you do with like a DeWalt router or something. Some kind of just common hardware tool. Or you can do it with a drill press.

But then you still need to buy that last piece. Right. Wasn't there something going on where people were saying the ATF was raiding people for having these kits? Yeah. So there was one specific kit done by Polymer80 called the Buy Build Shoot Kit. And they market it as everything you need in a box to build a gun in a couple hours and you would click it once and you add to the cart and they would ship it to your door and then you'd spend an hour putting it together and the atf said that this box of parts that weren't fought that wasn't a firearm was close enough to the definition of a firearm and marketed in such a way that it could

be construed as a firearm that it was actually a firearm which doesn't make any sense right from the legal perspective but this is the etf we're talking about they you know fairy dust and magic so in terms of 3d printed guns you're printing what like the frame the grip the stock or what yeah basically any external part that has complex geometry so some things that are going to be difficult to make by hand um and then looking specifically at like the fgc9 uh the barrel and the bolt are made at home um out of common common material um and again the barrel uh we're we're finishing it with basically 3d printable inserts and we're using electrochemical machining to get the internal dimensions the barrel to the right size and rifle it and cut

the chamber and it sounds really complicated it does i was like what yeah i know that shot really high for a lot of people but uh there's a good write-up on on whoa it was auto playing a video about the fgc9 yeah continue continue anyway a lot of that went over a lot of people's heads there's a really good write-up it's it sounds really complicated it's not you're you it's salt water in an aquarium pump in a five gallon bucket in your garage so in total how much do you have to spend on supplies materials and everything you need to to make a fgc9 okay so the the hardware to get started the printer itself 200 bucks yeah filament 40 bucks the parts to build the actual gun your internals about another 200 bucks and then your your um your benchtop power supply and your aquarium pump

to do the electrochemical machining is like another 100 on top of that so when you say electrochemical machining right you have salt water in a tank how does that work exactly so you you're pumping water out of a bucket salt water out of a bucket through the inside of the barrel and you've got uh an electrode in the barrel that's stripping material at the atomic level awesome off of the inside of the barrel to bore it to the right size for your bullet and then cut rifling and then cut in your chamber wow that sounds really hard to do yeah it's not awesome it's not hard because someone gave us a super chat a couple days ago they're like no it no, it's so easy. You could just print

an FGC9. And I looked at it and I was like, this looks hard. It looks hard. It's super easy. What caliber is FGC9? It's a 9mm. Is that where the 9 comes from? Yeah.

And then the FGC means something else. F, gun control. Are there other printers in the Ender, FGC means something else. Yeah, F, F, gun control. Yeah, that gun. Are there other printers than the Ender, like next level, above the Ender 5? There are. You start to lose the value per dollar that you're spending. So you can get into like a $3,000 or $4,000 printer pretty quickly. What would be the value of that?

I mean, you're doing the same thing you're doing on the Ender 5. Does it print? About the same quality. You might get an upgrade in materials you might be able to print with some fancy nylons and stuff like that some higher temperature stuff but i mean for the price difference what about metal do you print metal no so metal is a whole nother uh um uh manufacturing process and it's a lot more to get into. So there's a couple different methods of doing the most popular, the cheapest one.

And I'll start at, this is $50,000 that you're spending to get in here. It's a laser that melts a layer of powder and then the printer scoops another layer on top of it. It does another layer of melting. That's a really fast though, right? No,

that was really slow. Yeah, it's pretty layer of melting. This is really fast though, right? No. That goes really slow. Yeah, it's pretty slow. Oh, wow. And then once all that's done, you have to take that part, you have to send it to another company to do the final, like actually make it a solid part

because it's a bunch of particles that are stuck together. It's got to go on like a kiln or something. Right. Like where it heats and solidifies or something like that. Yeah. And then you have to add material,

physically add additional material to it. So it becomes a lot more expensive, a more costly there's applications for it but not for like the home gunsmith i'm gonna do this in my garage for the cheap um like there are there are filaments that have metal embedded in them but they have the same problem where it's just a bunch of medical metal particles that are just stuck. And then you have to send it to another company to finish it. I got to be honest, man. You say it sounds easy, but I'm looking at these websites and it's just... There's hurdles to...

The average person can't just do this. Yeah. Everything is a learning curve, but we've tried to make it really, really simple. So in order to get started, I'm going to plug my site. Go to theguide.controlpew.com. That'll get you your first 10 steps into 3D printing. You're not 3D printing guns yet. You're just 3D printing.

You're just learning how to use the printer, how to use the software, how to get it dialed in so it actually functions and things fit together properly. And then the next step, right? Find a gun you want to print. Print it. And Control Pew is C-T-R-L-P-E- Pew is C-T-R-L-P-E-W. C-T-R-L-P-E-W. That's theguy.controlpew.com. And just to clarify, having and making your own FGC-9 is legal federally?

Is that correct? Federally, it's legal. State laws may vary. I know Maryland has some funny business going on. I know California has funny business going on. I know New York has funny business going on. I know California has funny business going on. I know New York has funny business going on. Well, California and Maryland banned flamethrowers. They're the two states.

And I know this because I own a flamethrower. They banned flamethrowers, which is just utterly ridiculous and so un-American. I'm sorry. I thought this was American. People are getting in trouble with the Elon Musk flamethrowers. Yeah. Because people are buying them and it's called not a flamethrower by the boring company and then people are getting the feds

showing up their door being like that's a flamethrower the funny business is that's actually a weed burner it's not a flamethrower it just has a little bit of flame that sits in the end it doesn't throw the flame anywhere and it's really depressing and i'm really sad about it now now importantly making your own 3d printed firearm like the FGC-9, is there any legislation against doing this locally, statewide? Is there anything against 3D printing on the books now? Because I've seen individuals like Chuck Schumer who literally explain the black, What was it? The Silk Road in such a way where it promoted it on national television a few years ago, now talking about the ease of 3D printing firearms. There's a lot of misunderstanding, but is there any legislation proposed or on the books now against 3D printing, California, Maryland, New York, I think there is some legislation that exists. Although how far you get with that, I don't know. There's a couple of people.

Reno is a guy from a YouTuber from California. He's working on a 3D printed California compliant Glock and AR-15. So there are some specifics to work within those sets of laws, but I'm not as well read on the individual states to be able to answer that with any level of competence. Well, you know, even traveling with firearms, you learn about so many of the jurisdictions, reciprocities, and you literally need to hire a lawyer to explain it to you because of the different made-up laws that each politician interprets in their own unique ways, which is, again, not universal and very confusing and leads a lot of people in trouble. Yeah. I'm so disappointed because I tried for like – I sat for like three or four hours.

I dug through the law to come out here with my trunk of fun. Yeah. And just show you guys what we're working with. And I couldn't do it because I just couldn't figure out how to navigate the whole thing properly. And I was like, okay, I can't. I can't even begin. In your time 3D printing and experimenting, have you ever figured out new shapes to build weapons or guns with that make them more effective? I mean, a little bit so we we've done a lot of modifications on like the ar-15 to make it a lot more robust um there's a version now that has an additional like bracket on the on the side of it to hold the buffer tower

to add some extra support to the buffer tower so that it doesn't break off when you're shooting which was a problem that we had with like the early 2015, 2016 versions of the air 15 lower. So, I mean, we we've, we've come along, we've evolved in a lot of different,

different firearms. So like when you're talking about specific shapes, not really, but it, it all varies based on the forces applied to each firearm. Cause they all, they all act a little bit differently. Yeah. I'm thinking like to print like little hooks on the side where to each firearm. Because they all act a little bit differently. Yeah, I'm thinking to print little hooks on the side

where you could stick extra cartridges and then to hold. Oh, okay. Yeah, no, that stuff, there's a lot of that, actually. Thingiverse doesn't allow you to do gun stuff, but there's a lot of gun stuff on Thingiverse. It's fantastic. There's weird stuff on Thingiverse, too. Well, there is that.

A lot of weird stuff is that yeah thingy weird stuff scale models of the rectal yeah make your own record no but not even a joke they got weird stuff on thingiverse oh that's awesome the future is is now it's unstoppable they're gonna make 3d printers that can print 3d printers yeah just around the corner so funny story 2012 the rep rap project which started the whole. Funny story. 2012, the RepRap project, which started the whole 3D printer business and the commercial home use,

they were designed to have a bunch of 3D printed parts and then have a bunch of common off-the-shelf parts where you just printed the stuff you need or you had someone else print it for you, and then you assembled your printer and you could print another set and give them to someone else, and they could build their printer. So cool.

So that was the origin of this whole thing, which is another reason why the whole 3D printing thing itself can never really be stopped, because the origin of everything is open source. It's all out there. It's all public domain. They could put some kind of tax on 3D printers where you have to get a stamp, and then only one office in the country issues the stamps and they're swamped and people can only get one like every six months. Like they do many things to get around the law. You know what I mean? Right. But prove that I bought the printer to, you know, you know what I mean?

Well, I mean, like, you know what we've seen. You got to catch them first. What we've seen with a lot of regulations the government does when they can't ban something is they put regulatory hurdles in front of it that are so severe people eventually just stop doing it. I have a feeling that in the future they'll be trying to ban the information like the actual CAD files of the data. So when electricity becomes

free, like once we tap fusion and we're in ignition, it's going to be the information that's the currency of the world. It's funny. I was watching Star Trek earlier and I'm just thinking about this now. What if, could you imagine someone walking up to a replicator and being like, Computer! Glock 9mm, Glock 17.

It's not loaded. Give me 50 rounds. It just appears, and then people have guns. Right? Wouldn't that be great? Isn't the data market more valuable than the oil market in the world already? That wouldn't surprise me. So, I mean, when we're looking at the advancements of technology, it goes both ways.

It provides people a lot of opportunity, but it also has an opportunity to take away a lot of the freedoms and liberties that we take advantage of. So it's going to be interesting because when you look at 3D printers and trying to ban them, I mean, essentially, when you boil it down, it's somewhat of a simple technology of just making plastic hot and then moving around a machine so it uses that heat uh and that you know melted plastic to to shape something in a different form so i mean it's going to be very hard to ban 3d printers but it's something that as you said could happen and could be regulated in a way where it's impossible to for for the for the fgc9 could you

just buy like standard parts for other guns is that legal like if you bought a barrel or certain parts that you needed yeah so there are a couple mods that exist already one to make it take glock barrel or glock uh glock barrels uh another one to oh it's by by default it takes an AR-15 fire control group. Funny story. That AR-15 fire control group is also like a one-to-one copy of one that you can get out of an airsoft gun on AliExpress. Oh, wow. Yeah.

But so that becomes extremely easy then. Yeah. Like what's the regulatory issue then? Do you still have to get serialized? Do you have to get it registered or anything like that? No. So if you're building it for personal use there's no serial number no registration nothing it just exists and it's yours and now you have gun so you can buy

the the metal parts you need yep and then 3d print the rest put together and you're good to go yep that's crazy do you ever use resin printing i've started messing with some of it uh the biggest problem with resin printing is it's structurally weaker than FDM printing or the plastic printing. So the part you get isn't as strong. So it breaks sooner. So I've seen a couple people try and do like Glock frames in their resin printers and they don't end well. No injury to the user, but they just break. How long is this?

So we were talking about how the Liberator i i remember when it you know was first being developed it would get off like one or two a few rounds and then just break itself but that was no metal parts right right well it took the firing common nail yeah a common nail yeah and how would that would just be one a one-off or what uh well okay so you can get more than one round of the liberator the the video that's been that's commonly cited is one from like the queensland police who printed a really crappy version of it it was they didn't follow the instructions and this is critical follow the readme there's a readme in every package everything comes out it's got the instructions follow them but uh they didn't follow the readme uh so their print was junk and it blew up because but did it actually fire though like yeah it did fire the one round it

also blew up um they get hurt no they had it on a stand oh but i know cody in his 2013 video fired three or four rounds through his on video on camera in succession so i mean you just put a nail in it yeah that's amazing what do you think about the new biden kind of proposals for gun control have you looked into them at all i mean i've tried but they are not very coherent and don't really apply to a lot it sounds like a universal ban on all things. Pew pew. Yeah. And okay, enforce it.

Yeah, exactly. I mean, I think they will. Law-abiding citizens obey the law. Can't enforce it. That's the problem with the amount of guns that are being printed. There's just no stopping the issue. Looking at this last year alone, just like the the reported background checks there's something like three we're 10 million new shooters i feel like we're butting up against four million

background checks yeah now a lot of those background checks have more than one gun and not all of those background checks actually complete or end in a sale but four million is i think it's way more than that actually i i feel like it would be too and i'm i'm ballparking numbers so again so the i think the guy from federal ammo put out a video about the ammo shortage and said that we're looking at seven million new shooters oh jeez so that means background checks has to has to be over seven million yeah because some people buy more than one gun yeah so a lot of yeah well actually no that's not fair because some people are buying some people are

buying some people are already gun owners and are buying guns so maybe you're right maybe it is four million so the the data that comes up when i just oh no no wait i'm sorry it would have to be more than seven yeah regardless of your first time shooter or not yeah the data that comes up that when i just searched for this is that nearly five million new gun owners have joined the 100 million plus gun owners already in the United States in 2020, according to recent estimates from the National Shooting Sports Foundation. So some of the data also shows that 40% of all firearm sales are going through first time buyers. So of course, there's a lot of people. I mean, I've saw this. I started doing trainings with my Special Forces Green Beret

friends in New Hampshire, teaching people who are-time gun owners how to properly use how to properly clean use their firearms this summer because there was a demand for it and there was a shortage of professionals willing to train people how to even safely use and operate a firearm but let's let's segue into this next this next story from newsweek fact check. Did Missouri shop say no guns and ammo for Biden supporters? Guess what? Fact check true. It actually happened. They say President Joe Biden preached that the country requires unity to overcome its challenges in his inaugural address last week as it remains divided.

With the Capitol riots earlier this month, blah, blah, blah. In Missouri, depending on the presidential candidate you won voted for, some local residents might not be able to obtain guns or ammunition at one store. Austin Peterson tweeted, my local gun shop announced last night they do not have any guns or ammunition available for Biden supporters. The comment section of howling leftists is delicious, like hot apple pie with ice cream. Let's keep it going. Is it the claim? The tweet from him is the claim. A user from the social media forum Gab posted a screenshot of an article from the Gateway Pundit, an online political news blog that says, we report the truth and leave the Russia collusion fairytale to the conspiracy media.

With the headline, Missouri Gun Shop announces they don't have guns or ammos for Biden supporters. They have the actual post from Facebook here. It's true. Trigger Firearms and Reloading LLC, based in Jefferson City, Missouri, recently posted to its Facebook business page, We don't have guns or ammo for Biden supporters. Sorry for the inconvenience. The company that lists itself as a gun store on the platform has received more than 3,000 interactions and more than 1,000 shares on the post with mixed reactions from users in the comment thread. Reached by phone, Trigger Firearms and Reloading LLC Hung up on Newsweek's request for comment about the Facebook post. Declining to respond.

Gee, you think? Facebook user Terry Plotner wrote, Private company so they can do what they want. But don't. In a comment responding to the gun shop's post and apparent support. The ruling, true. They did say this. They will not sell guns or ammo.

So what does that mean? You walk in and they're like, who'd you vote for? And you're like, I voted for Joe Biden. Get out. Who's going to admit that in a gun shop? I don't think they're going to admit it. I don't think they're going to be asking, but this is great PR to bring attention to their gun store. I know a gun store

in New Hampshire that literally had Joe Biden as the salesman of the month a few weeks ago, and that brought in a whole bunch of attention and a lot of people angry and a lot of people pissed off. And he's like, I love it. Give me all the attention. The guy was also a fan of We Are Changed, which is awkward walking in there.

And it's like, oh, of course. Yeah, that's me. Where are the people going to banks asking for multimillion dollar investment to start primer companies or powder companies because the shortage of all this ammo? Yeah. Like now is the opportunity to get in the ground floor. In fact, can you 3D print ammo? Oh, we're getting there. So we've got a couple of people working on it.

Developments are coming. We've got projectiles. We've got casings. We're working on... We've got half the chemistry. We're working on more. 3D printed projectile. Not...

No. So we're 3D printing molds that will let you cast projectiles in any caliber and diameter you want. Oh, wow. Because in many places in the world, you can't buy the molds. But it's incredible. Let me ask you. Would you provide all of your schematics to Biden's voters? Sure.

Yeah. I don't care. Yeah. Yeah. They're going on the internet for free. Yeah. Anyone can download them. Yep.

Go nuts. Everyone will have them if they want them i guess that's the point you know if it's it's freedom it's you as an individual have the ability of the technology you can do it you know i was thinking about what like you know why these liberals like these biden supporters are so concerned and will well first of all let me say they're willing to support they're willing to support a man who says he's going to outright ban all gun sales and accessory sales online. Did he want to ban ammo too?

Online sales of ammo? Yeah, I do recall. Yeah, he wrote a lot of vague, generalized language about not allowing people to buy a firearm within a certain amount of period. Close to another purchase of a firearm. He talked about banning online sales of anything gun-related. How could you vote for him and then actually go and expect to buy a gun yeah and that's a weird question outright like is how many people are actually going to this gun shop and saying they're biden supporters who want

to buy guns i guess they exist but it's like all right i'll tell you what you give no you have to give it to me like you it's being confiscated you don't you don't and it's interesting that this is you got a stink bug in there it's interesting that this is happening in missouri because in missouri this is also where the mcclowski case happened i'm still trying to look up the latest information about what's happening with them but they're the couple that walked out with firearms with very poor trigger discipline and very point very poor aim discipline uh when a blm uh you know pretty much protest broke down the fence of their door and uh you know they say threatened them broke down the fence of their door. And, you know, they say threatened them.

So I'm still trying to find out exactly what's going on. What should they have done? Like had their guns pointed down at the ground? Well, when you see, I think it was Patricia McCloskey. She literally had her finger on the trigger. And she was moving the gun around in a place where it was rightly behind her husband's head. You're not supposed to do that. That's not smart. That's not smart.

I feel like everything else was appropriate given the information that I have. It was a violent crowd, and they're confronting you on your property. So I feel like that's okay to point a gun at them with your finger on the trigger and be like, I'm actually going to shoot you if you keep coming at me. They were on his property in a castle doctrine state right so it's

like in in some states you can shoot someone before they even get on your property if in order to prevent someone entering your property some states allow you to shoot somebody that's hardcore yeah and so and so there's like uh i don't know the full details but some states like new jersey i think new jersey is duty to retreat meaning you're in your home in the middle of the night and you're allowed to own a gun. And then someone breaks in. If you can flee your home, you must. But it's really funny because I was talking to even a cop about this and he laughed and he was like, where are you going to go? It's your house. Where do you go? It makes no sense. And I was like, yeah. And then in other states, they have castle doctrine with no duty to retreat but a duty to enter your home. So, like, let's say you live in, you know, Maryland and you're on your front lawn or something and you see someone coming towards you.

You have to go into your house first. Then if they try breaking in, you can defend your home. In places, I think, like West Virginia, I'm pretty sure West Virginia is like you see them on your property. You can shoot them. In New York City, you defend yourself. You hurt the perp. You go to jail for the crime of hurting the perp. So I know many instances and cases where people had violence brought upon them, they defended themselves, and because they left a mark on the attacker, the aggressor,

they went to jail. Really? Yeah. You're supposed to do no harm? There's even individuals, there's even stories in the United States where people were violently attacked, fought back, and with extreme cases of even people will play favorable into the agenda, into the narratives that they want to push. The moral of the story is simple. Don't live in blue states or blue cities. Yes. You have to go somewhere where you're allowed to be reasonable. Defend yourself. And when you do go, leave all of those policies there.

Yes. That's amazing. You see this story earlier about a guy from California moved to Texas and then was like really upset and angry. Like he called it it was not a conservative utopia and it was like monoculture.

He just didn't like it so he leaves and it's like you know what man that's a good story. You know why? He left. Yeah.

He didn't like it. He left. It's remarkable because you know we have so many people now fleeing these big cities and going to these these red areas where I can understand why the store is basically saying no Biden supporters can buy guns because you've got Democrats from big cities moving to red areas, bringing those policies with them. and get them banned later what's the point like create create grandfathered in guns that only you can sell like like full auto you know what do they cost like 20 grand for for a like a belt fed full auto machine gun uh yeah belt fed you're gonna get way up in there but because it's grandfathered in the only way to own it is if it's an existing right there's a finite number a lot of people want them so maybe that's the plan maybe it's a bunch of rich people being like if we get guns

banned then only we have the guns and we'll be worth a million bucks. There you go. That's a racket. Yeah, the guy who moved to Texas and then back, I mean, one of the top reasons he left is because the weather was oppressive, that there was no public land, that there was no snowy mountains, that people in Austin were rude. But, you know, you went to Austin. Austin's. Yeah. The's. Yeah. The liberal.

Yeah. They have a liberal mayor there who goes to vacation in the Caribbean islands while telling everyone to stay home and not travel because of COVID. Just like most Democratic politicians who don't follow the law. But I mean, this guy sparked an interesting discussion. But I do believe media organizations like the Daily Mail went too far. They kind of doxed him they released public information about his house where he lived his family photos and i'm like this is too far this is i mean people are enjoying calling him the new karen and dunking on

him but but for me but it was his old house yeah he didn't live there anymore well i don't know it looks they're showing how his house in in los angeles uh sorry san diego and his house in uh texas that San Diego. And his house in Texas that he had. Yeah, he doesn't live in either of those. It's still a lot of personal information that's not really needed there. And a lot of people ragging on the guy. And I'm like, but he did the right thing. He moved there, hated it, and left. Exactly.

There you go. If you don't like it, you move. That's fine. And we shouldn't be criticizing him. He does spark an interesting conversation, which I think we all should have. And that should be it. You know what I think ultimately the biggest problem is? It's that conservatives who live in conservative areas

understand what city life is like to a certain degree and don't care for what people do in cities. But people who live in cities have no idea what rural life is like and want everyone to live under the rules of a city. So I talked about it before. If you live in manhattan uh even even i think luke accidentally uh came out in support of regulate gun regulation when i said what happens if you live in new york city and you got it you got a five five six and someone breaks into your cubicle apartment and you said maybe maybe don't allow certain calibers

well maybe some individuals we had this argument i, Tim, you should get a shotgun. I don't know. My walls in my RV are kind of thin there. Well, so the point is, I'll ask you, Alex. In New York, for instance, I understand the right to bear arms,

especially to defend yourself. If you live in one of these cubicle loft apartments where you got 30 people surrounding your 10x10 cube that smells like sour milk, and someone breaks into your apartment, a certain bullet's going to go through walls and potentially

hit other people and that could create a huge risk yeah so all bullets are going to go through walls like there is no bullet small enough that it's going to stop and drywall even like a what a hollow point 22 yeah it would go it would go through but i mean like but just assume that it's going to because this is this is sort of the danger you get into with gun ownership of you're responsible for wherever that bullet goes, period. So if it goes through who you shot into the 12-year-old and two apartments down, well, you may have shot the guy, yes. But the consequence of that've you've created an unacceptable consequence that you killed a 12 you shot a 12 year old so i mean this is something that a gun owner needs to be conscious of this is something that you get through exposure to firearms in

general is you develop this knowledge over time man could you imagine living in new york city and there being a gun shop in time square where they're selling like a.308 and you can just buy it? To also clarify, I'm not for the regulations, but there is a particular gun culture that needs to be talked about. Because when we went out to the range, we met a lot of random individuals in the middle of the woods, away from all the roads, and they were all courteous. They all looked you in your eye. They all talked to you. They all treated you with respect. There no attitude there was no you know crap thrown your way there is a particular gun culture that is that takes safety very seriously that makes sure

that you don't point your muzzle at people regardless of whether the gun is loaded or not yes but but luke it's not about gun culture it's's about regular people. Yes. Like, think about how... Remember you made that video about being on the subway with all those people everywhere? Yes. So Luke made this video a long time ago

about being on the subway with millions of people. Just keep going. You got nothing else to lose. And they never talk to each other. But how often... Like, we see videos of attacks. They happen.

But how often does the average person walk through New York walking past all these people and no one just randomly starts beating you or stabbing you? Same way with driving. You never really veer the car over and ram into someone.

You know, when I was 16, and like, well, actually, I got my license when I was 18. But when I was like first starting to learn how to drive, I was shocked when I realized that cars don't frequently bump into each other. I was like, how is that possible? You got to park. Cars got to bump into each other. And it's like, well, sometimes when you're parallel parking you might bump somebody but for the most part millions upon millions of cars every day drive within inches of each other and never touch and i was like wow especially taxi drivers they they they drive like crazy yeah freaking i don't

even want to say it think about that and then when i when we went to the range and there were some other dudes they're setting up targets and they had a bunch of guns too, I have no fear or no concern about them shooting me or anybody else because I don't regularly get attacked by random people, especially when you're at a range where people are going there for a purpose. People who live in cities are paranoid and terrified that someone's going to – you know what it is? Maybe because there's too many nasty people who work in these offices or who are on Twitter and they know that they bad people, and they're just worried about someone coming to their office and going postal or something. Yeah. Desperation can breed violence, obviously. And in cities, sometimes you have poverty and hunger. But trust is such an integral part of being human. We got to where we are as a socially constructed species by trusting each other. And also, I think people, when they decide to purchase a firearm,

they understand that they're taking a very serious responsibility, that it comes with a lot of training, a lot of educating, and a huge, huge patience towards trying to understand the huge ramifications. And I think the majority of people do that. I thought the first thing everybody did when they bought guns was to go out in the parking lot like Yosemite Sam and just start firing wildly into the air yeah yeah with some revolvers yeah what kind of gun you think yosemite sam was using is that like a 45 acp um 45 long colt i would say

it's a 44 magnum what was i'm thinking about like the stereotype of the character he has what kind of bullet they used back then? Oh, okay. Hold on. I don't know. I believe it's 38. 38? Yeah. I don't know.

I'm sure someone in the Super Chat will correct me. Probably. Someone in the chat will correct me. Speaking of corrections, I do want to go back. We were talking about Nick's earlier, Nick's background checks. So the 2020 annual total was $21.1 million. Background checks. Background checks.

Wow. So again, not all background checks result in a sale, and not all background checks are one-to-one with firearms. Right. Right. And not all states require background checks to buy a firearm. Wait, really? Yeah.

So if you have a permit, like in Iowa, I have a carry permit in Iowa, I don't have to do a background check. Right. A concealed carry or regular? In Iowa, it's just a carry. Oh, wow. I think. And then if one person buys 20 guns they

only need to do one background check not if you have a permit a permit you just walk in and you go i'll take that that all depends on the state yeah but but it's to clarify the permit is a background check yes you had to get one to get the permit right that was just one yeah yeah so it's weird that you know years ago during during the march for our lives protest i went down there in a good faith attempt at talking to people i can't tell you how many people were like holding up signs saying assault ban assault rifles and so i would talk to them and be like i just want to ask you about your sign and they'd be like yeah what about it i'd be like well assault rifles are illegal and they've always been and i'm wondering if you were aware or what your goal is with the sign and they would go oh and like one lady like folded it

up it's like i didn't know and i'm like uh-huh what's an assault i mean it's kind of a vague uh no assault rifle how would you define an assault rifle well well it's not really defined so assault rifle is like selective fire rifle yes and no because that's that's in the legal definition that is a machine gun right so the assault rifle is like the populist term that politicians like to use to scare people. Assault weapon. Assault rifle is a rifle that has selective fire. So you can do single burst or full auto. In the colloquial, that is.

But I think this is a legal term. We're talking about legal terminology. This is the machine gun because they're talking about legislation and passing laws. What the Democrats tend to do, and some Republicans, is they they say assault weapon and they can't define what an assault weapon is right so like we were talking about this i don't know if we were talking about on the air but like the m1a is illegal in maryland but the scar what does luke have the scar 22 oh i shouldn't scar 20 scar 20 i shouldn't be talking about that publicly i guess but anyway oh well too late the the m1a is illegal in in mary Maryland because it's a weapon of war, I guess.

But it's like the M1A is – is it fair to say it's like relatively archaic? The M1 Garand was what? World War II? Yes. And so it's not the same as like a modern AR-15 that could shoot the same caliber, which is probably more efficient and easier to use. So the point is the assault weapon definition is like nonsensical almost and i know gun owners know this and they've known this longer than i did because you see the memes where it's like this is illegal this is legal they're literally the same gun you know it's

like minor differences assault rifle means means selectifier which does that always mean that it has a full auto selection single burst or full auto so okay so machine talking going back to the legal term the machine gun is any weapon that fires more than one bullet with a single pull of the trigger oh so burst fire so burst fire full auto um anything of that that nature um when you talk about assault weapons assault rifles these are these are vague and undefined terms which is why well i sort of i'm pretty sure assault assault rifle is defined so uh it was popularized by hitler the term assault rifle and it's a selective fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine they were first put into mass production accepted in wide use during world

war ii the first rifles were the german stg 44 assault weapon is the nonsensical term that has no right like a flamethrower could be an assault weapon they assaulted there's some trenches that are assault weapons i guess what i'm trying to what i'm trying the language i'm trying to focus on is like what's in u.s law because assault weapon and assault rifle aren't defined anywhere in u.s except for by hitler apparently except by hitler rifle selective fire burst fire so so they think ars are assault rifles by his definition and the the reason they think that is because they look very similar to the common combat rifle issued to our you know the oh yeah ars don't fire burst but they don't fire burst they're not machine guns so they're not assault so they're

not any any of those categories so you mentioned volley fire earlier right right let's say you had a gun with like you say it was a five five six with like 15 barrels what if when you pull the trigger one time it goes like i run in a circle like in a sequence is that full auto or that be considered volley i think that's considered volley fire so it would function effectively i don't the accuracy would not be the same as full auto actually it might be better i mean i mean we're we're. I mean, we're chasing into the territory where I'm not a legal expert and I don't actually know. Also, I feel like it all depends on the mechanism. Because if you pull the trigger once and it's like a physical... Well, even then, I don't know how you would initiate all of that.

We get into a technical argument, and you need to send it to the ATF to be evaluated. There's some crazy guns. So I just Google searched it. There's the S333 Volley Fire. It's a prototype six-barreled pepper box-styled pocket pistol. There's a lot of things. What is this one even shooting? Is that binary fire?

Is that what we're talking about? No. So binary fire is a whole nother thing where you pull the trigger yeah and it fires one round and then you let go of the trigger and it fires another round and this is not a machine gun because the law specifies a machine gun is a single operation of the trigger so just pulling the trigger is a single operation and letting the trigger go is another operation so is that legal yeah except in some states like iowa iowa you can't have binary triggers as far as i'm what if you just had multiple triggers

um so you could like play the guitar like and you're going with your fingers like like playing the bass i mean design it yeah yeah like there's nothing that says that you can't make it and then see that see what happens. Oh, yeah, like you have a trigger, but it's actually three small slivers of triggers that you pull all three triggers, and then it fires three rounds. No, you need three fingers to pull one, two, three, and you can go one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three. You might not, actually. You might not. You might be able to just line three triggers up and pull them. Well, then they might consider that single trigger pull.

Well, no, because you have three distinct triggers and three distinct operating mechanisms within that. Call a lawyer. Right? Call a lawyer. You could have nine triggers, one on each finger. It's like bump fire. It effectively allowed people to fire full auto. And so they're like, no, that's got to be illegal.

And it's interesting because it does. Right? So it's just people are going to keep finding different ways to make different kinds of guns eventually there's going to be this weird shaped you know octagonal box with like pipes coming out the sides and you put your hands in it and then it does full auto and it's some crazy loophole to the law that allows it to function you know and you're playing the accordion and it's like i think i'm familiar with the bump stock. Can you explain the bump, how it seems full auto? So – No, you, man.

Okay. So when you're holding the rifle, the stock and the rifle itself are not fixed together. So they slide forward and back. So you're pulling the rifle, the stock, against your shoulder. Come up on the mic while you're telling this. Sorry. You're pulling the stock against your shoulder, and you're pushing the front, the barrel, the stock, against your shoulder. Come up on the mic while you're telling this. Sorry, you're pulling the stock against your shoulder and you're pushing the front, the barrel,

the handguard forward. And then, yeah. What happens is where your finger goes, there's actually a stop. And so your finger isn't on the trigger. It's on a piece of plastic. When you pull it forward, it pulls the trigger into your finger and then recoils back.

Oh, so you just keep pulling the trigger to you. You pull the gun forward and it pulls the trigger, hits your finger, bounces back. You pull it forward. It bounces back. So by pulling the gun forward and putting that force, it's going. Interesting. So they made those illegal. But bump fire is a technique, which was a lot of people were complaining about.

Like if you if you want to bump fire, you can just do it if you know how to do it yeah you can loop your thumb through your belt loop and then wrap your finger around the trigger and just sort of push forward a little bit and it'll just bump fire yeah wow so that's why a lot of super easy to do but i think that's interesting because it's not going to stop there especially with 3d printing the the fgc9 looks kind of crazy compared to other guns you're used to seeing it's only a matter of time before they'll keep trying to make, and eventually they're going to try and make one all-encompassing rule, and it won't work. That's what I'm afraid of. If the government makes a law they can't enforce and become a total mockery of themselves. That's a real threat.

And then what happens when people have no faith in the system to enforce its own laws? I don't know, man. We're already at a point where if people really wanted to, they could get a 3D printer and make guns. Hell yeah. How hard was it back in the day to make a gun? You know, like I'm talking hundreds of years ago. Smith and Wesson. Getting someone to actually make the metal, it took hundreds of years to go from like muskets to cartridges.

That's crazy. And then think about how long it's been, like the rapid development in weapons technology over the past hundred years. It's kind of crazy. It's just nuts. Yeah. They used to have like Smith and... Gun manufacturers were huge, like single companies and super popular Smith and Wesson. I don't really know.

They still are. But now there's just hundreds of thousands of gun manufacturers. I would imagine. I mean, literally, if there's people printing them... Well, now there's just regular people who can make their own guns. Right. Now everyone is a gun manufacturer. Can you start a gun manufacturing company with little oversight using 3D printers? Serializing them?

I mean, you could. From the business perspective, there's a lot of hurdles to overcome, like your financial processing is a problem with all the financial censorship that's going on. Yeah, doesn't MasterCard stop? Didn't they release a statement that they're not going to allow people to use their credit cards at gun stores? I don't know if they actually followed through with that or not. I remember that was a big issue. But what are some of the other financial restraints? Well, even like you're considered the Obama administration put forth Operation Chokepoint, which classified firearms dealers or anyone in the firearm space as a high risk business.

And that added a whole bunch of additional restrictions on who they could do banking with and credit card processing with. And it really limited to like none of the major credit card processors will work with you if you're a business well most of them won't um there are a very very few but your your you know your your your service with them is really limited based on you know the political climate these days um we just had so there's a company that does crowdfunding like GoFundMe for gun-related projects called Gun Dynamics. Their credit card processor canceled their contract with them I think today. I think this was today.

So it's – and just – I don't know what the reason or any background on that. I just heard that this happened. Crypto is the way to go? Yeah. I mean what else can you do? Cryptocurrency. The remarkable thing about cryptocurrency is that it doesn't matter which one you use. Not even.

So the Mines token, do you know what it's currently trading at? It's ranged between like 33 cents and $1.25, I think. You know what doesn't matter? The value of the token. Because I'll put it this way. Let's say this gun company gets their credit card processor shut down. So they announce think. You know what doesn't matter? The value of the token. Because I'll put it this way. Let's say this gun company gets their credit card processor shut down. So they announce that, you know what? We're going to use mine's tokens.

And then all that matters is I can then buy mine's tokens, the correct value, send it to them. Then they can immediately transfer it into U.S. currency through a regular market. So it doesn't matter what the credit card company wants to do. There's a way to transfer the value instantly. Boom. I was thinking about a gun that shoots crypto or like every time you pull the trigger. Hold on.

It sounds like a joke now, but in 50 years, we'll look back on this. Every time you pull the trigger, it charges your account? No, it writes the blockchain so you know when the bullet was fired. Oh, that's a good idea.

Maybe it's a good idea. It depends on if you want good idea. It depends on your, if you want mass surveillance. It depends on execution and who has access to that data. Right. It's an idea. Right. Yeah. Tracking when bullets are fired. Oh, that's cool. And where they went. Well, I don't know how you transfer where they went.

Where they land. If the gun has GPS on it. If the bullets have GPS. Like those smart guns. Like the depleted uranium bullets that are left over in Iraq are devastating. They're like in the dirt irradiating people. Munitions. But you know where they were shot. You don't necessarily know where they would go.

Like they can't put a GPS in the bullet. You know what I mean? Well, I don't know. Who knows what crazy tech the military has at this point for all we know. You know, they got little flies with cameras on them that fly around. There was a cool project 10 years ago of these really tiny drones that were like this big, and they flew like dragonflies. That was so cool.

That was 10 years ago? 10 years ago. Yeah. Okay, it was like eight years ago. Nano drones. I mean, they weren't nano. They were pretty big. They probably are nano.

But they were really light, and they had cameras on them. And it was a Kickstarter, I think. I don't know what ever happened to that project. But there are tiny little flying drones, man. They got them. The stick bug that keeps dive-bombing you. Yeah, I know. They're spying on us.

I'm afraid of nano-drones that'll fly in people's ears and kill them. You ever see that Black Mirror where the bees killed everybody? The robo-bees? Good stuff.

It's the future. Anyway. Yeah. I wonder if we'll come to a point where people start 3D printing like you can buy disposable guns like disposable cameras.

Like you walk into the shop and it's like, I just need the 20 shot and it comes the magazine pre-loaded and it can't be reloaded it just it's done when it's done and you throw in the garbage because it's just like plastic with a nail in it i'm most excited about 3d printing ammo and i know you talked a little bit about it or do you have any information um you think you're gonna have it's still it's still very much an alpha sort of development like i I said, we're still working at the chemistry to get smokeless powder. We're still working out the actual construction of the round and what kind of calibers you can use and what kind of pressures you can get.

So there's a lot in development. And if you guys are chemists and you're interested in getting in this space, this is somewhere you need help. I heard you can make bullets out of bat poop. Say help. I heard you can make bullets out of bat poop. Say what? I heard you can make bullets out of bat poop. What do you mean? Sure. No, that's because bat has something specific in it.

Well, coronavirus. Yeah, something else. I was reading how they would make black powder back in the day. Yeah, doesn't it have phosphorus in it? Is that it? I don't know. I think so. I don't know how to make gunpowder, white powder, whatever.

Yeah, phosphorus. Smokeless powder is the is the better yeah safer smokeless is what's in modern cartridges um black powder is what they used to use what a lot of people still use for certain types of hunting but uh it's easier to make so like the original bullets had tons of smoke that would come out yeah uh it was really just a lot smokier oh yeah they transitioned because if it got wet it they wouldn't fire uh that was more of a problem of like having the whole yeah muzzle loading in general where everything was just exposed to the elements um all the time so a case can fire when they're soaked right well everything can fire when it's so you can dunk an m4 in a pool and still fire yeah in the bullets too the bullets get wet they'll still fire yeah because everything's encapsulated in that cartridge

so when you're printing you can print the casing of the bullet out of plastic is that no not yet so we're not there yet um it's we're getting abs straight up well like shotgun shells are plastic but they have uh the metal primer cap right yeah so the shotgun shells is a chemistry there there is a guy working on printable shotgun stuff it's the liberator 12k project um it's another cool one it's an entirely or not entirely 3d printed similar to the fgc9 where you're using off-the-shelf parts but it's a 12 gauge that you can print and it functions pretty well he's still it's still in uh in beta he's doing a lot of he's been testing it for like three years he's going thorough on the testing i was watching that movie news of the world and it's really interesting because you

know if you don't know the history of guns but tom hanks's character has birdshot but he has brass shotgun shells that he loads and he like pours the birdshot out. And then spoiler alert, if you haven't seen the movie, you've been warned. There's a scene where he's fighting with people and all he has is a birdshot. He runs out of bullets in his revolver. And then this little girl puts coins in the brass shells. And then he shoots and kills a guy with coins. I think Mythbusters did an episode on that. Yeah, it didn't work very well.

But whether or not it would work, it was interesting, this idea that shotgun shells used to be brass and reloadable, basically. Yeah. That's crazy. I mean, polymers are still very new in the history of humanity. Yeah. So before polymers, what kind of soft metal did you have? Well, you had brass. Well, they started doing paper shells.

Yeah. Paper? Yeah, because it just blows the whole thing and sprays it out anyway so they're working with like um recovering plastic melting it back down in like an anaerobic environment with no oxygen back into like liquid oil and then you can use that as a printing filament oh well and you can also grind up the pellets and melt the pellets that way ladies are so if you can start making ammo out of recovered plastic and scrap metal, I think that's the key. You need the primer

obviously, which I don't know. Carbon. Have you ever messed with graphene at all? I haven't, but I'm absolutely not the chemist. I have no idea what's going on. It's magic to me. If we could pull carbon out of the carbon dioxide and help make primer out of that, that'd be interesting

too. Yeah. I'm really spitballing here. Well, how about we go to Super Chats and see what everybody else has to say? If you haven't already, smash that Like button and go to TimCast.com, become a member to help support the show. We're going to have more bonus content for all y'all coming up later tonight. So let's take your questions and comments. David Young says, excuse my lack of knowledge, but what's a grifter, fence-sitter, and a milquetoast? People keep calling you this, but just

sound like silly kindergarten insults. Okay. A grifter is someone who pretends to have opinions in exchange for money. A fence-sitter is someone who actually has no strong opinions and is sitting on the fence. And milk-toast means your opinions are extremely weak. I'm impressed that I can be all three of those at the exact same time.

Alright, let's see. Dominic Bristow says, I also a gorilla that's that's wonderful and you might notice that the i am a gorilla shirt is now pinned above the i believe it's pinned in the chat so you can you can buy that there yeah let's see mao damadi says you had me at bum bum probe love clickbait it's not clickbait though if people are like this is not real i saw people in chat saying it's not real it's clickbait it's a real story we didn't make up the headline they're literally doing it zinger says yo tim i'm permaban from paypal do you plan on using any other payment processors check out coin payments if you haven't heard of it i'd love to subscribe but literally can't um we we are uh talking about

setting up something just like off PayPal, I guess. We'll figure it out. The whole system on TimGuys.com is relatively new and we're just trying to build it and make sure it works and then, you know, grow. But we're going to figure it out.

Gerald Armstrong says, Tim, talk to Sargon to get Count Dankula on Adam's show. Sure. I've also been talking to Sargon and Dankula to get him on this show and COVID makes it just very, very difficult to do. Dankula has family obligations, too.

Yeah. Let's see. 5882300 says, new member here was hoping to help you or anyone in the Geodome quest with a shout out from my buddy's company. Thunderdomes. We design and make custom cheap domes. Hope you'll give us a look. P.S. How did you not finish the jingle?

Which jingle? I don't know. I the jingle which jingle i don't know i don't know i don't know um we're looking at doing domes but man is it really hard to buy land right now and the longer it takes like man all the rich people fleeing the big cities are buying up land like crazy which is kind of kind of kind of a bummer man stump says this is eerily similar to the debut South Park episode, Moving My Retirement Portfolio to Astroglide. Oh, jeez, man. Smart man.

People have been, because I tweeted the story, people are sending me a lot of South Park images of poor Cartman during that very famous South Park episode where he was probed by the aliens. He was probed. Kargoosh says, Rectum douche for victory against the silent enemy.

To quote Emperor Biden, we need a full-scale wartime effort. Yes. Michael Gilley says, Mr. Poole, have you or have you not in fact started a polyamorous prepper cult? Also, I am a gorilla. I have not, unfortunately.

It is not the case. So that won't be happening. Giving me some ideas there. Omar says, Tim, as a Canadian, I'd love if you covered some of the stuff happening up here. Two weeks ago, an Ontario conservative MPP was booted from the party for writing a letter

to the Premier with sources with suggestions to exit lockdown. Wow. Well, you know, it's the Great Reset. It is upon us. The Davos group is rather successful in all of their efforts, so you know, good for them. Fubidu says, hey, Control Pew, don't 3D

print guns explode in your hands. Can't stop the signal. Do they explode in your hands? They absolutely do. So they don't, because people who are only listening have no idea you held your hands up. I forget. There's like an audio component. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He held up his hands. His hands are completely intact. Either that i have a really great prosthetics yeah

break the chains media says now that sticks hex and hammer is back in vermont you need to get him on irl myself and thousands of others would love to hear you and sticks of banter and discuss culture and society look at my content too i would love to have sticks on the show going to make that happen we're working on it and smash that like button if you haven't already. It is greatly appreciated. Let's see what we got here. Brent Saigan says, Hey, Tim, I fell behind on a bunch of your videos,

and to catch up, I listened to them at two times speed, and hearing you all live makes you sound drunk. Well, you can always go back and watch these old episodes at two times speed as well. Yes. I think what we're doing now for the members only content also has a speed boost too. So now you should be able

to watch that in a lower resolution and which makes it easier to stream as well as increase the speed. Cool. Ken L says, your stream did not show up

on my subscription feed. Had to go to Timcast IRL page to see if your stream was live. I'm not surprised, but it was a first. I mean, I am. We put anal swab in the title and I had a feeling YouTube was going to be like, we don't promote that here.

And I was like, I don't care. It's the story. We're doing it. Important. You know, if we did something like, I don't know, just use buzzwords. What are you, Minecraft? What's it? Minecraft, Fortnite, PewDiePie, Democrat.

Bazongas. Yeah, bazongas. Birthday. No, if you put bazongas, you're going to get knocked. Bazongas. Yeah, bazonga. Boom. No, if you put bazongas, you're going to get knocked down like anal swab. I don't know. Put like birthday and then someone's name, famous name. Marriage, baby, birthday. They do it on Twitter.

Someone did an experiment on Facebook where they would put something like just got married or something in all of their posts because the algorithm would boost those words because people interact with marriage and childbirth like congratulations so they would be like i just you know gave birth to a baby boy anyway here's my new book it's coming out yep lua coder says tim i am now going out of my way to buy things that are not from china and i've realized how difficult it is i I refuse to support this regime, and I encourage everyone else to do so, even if it sacrifices convenience. I completely agree.

And we do try. We need to try harder, for sure. Payne Cabal says, Get FPS Russia over to talk guns with you. That'd be cool. Pirate Tomsky says, That's why it's spreading, Tim. The lefties have been covering the wrong poop hole the whole time. Oh, jeez.

Dozer Man says, keep an extra mask in your disgusting pocket. Touch it, cough, and sneeze in it, and realize masks aren't the most sanitary thing to touch and reuse. It just shows you're in the cult. Well, look, there are disposable masks that are super cheap. I understand the purpose of masks, and I really

have no problem using it. The problem is the level of absurdity when they're like, now where to? Or in China when they're like, bend over, here it comes again. You know, not really interested in all that. Kargush says, you misunderstand. And it's very important to understand this. They're not getting rid of the gifted programs because of equality. They're getting rid of them because of a belief in equity.

That's right. Yep. The Black Metal says, I'd be careful with making your own guns. Last month, ATF rated polymer 80 because of the idea of receivers having no cereal. The Biden admin is pushing hard on this ghost gun thing. Yeah, that's what I was saying.

I think their goal is to create obstructions and hurdles to make it very difficult for you to do. And to scare the populace. Yep. Ghost guns. Sounds scary, right? And just like if they'll raid one one person it's like

and then they make stories about it like don't let you be the next be afraid don't do it king oh jingling says hi gang i'm raising awareness for the farmer protest in india right now we're trying to repeal three agricultural laws that only benefit corporations the fight against corporate government is the same worldwide love your work i believe corporate government is the same worldwide. Love your work. I believe corporate government is fascism. Yeah. The left likes to say it's not because fascism is ultra nationalistic. And I feel like that's like a deviation. If if you know, the goal of the Nazis and the fascists was like world domination and taking everything over. How is that nationalistic when you're invading other countries? You know what I mean? Also, it's really weird that they keep saying

fascist over and over again with like an emphasis on italy instead of nazis with an emphasis on hitler like they call people nazis for sure but they really like saying fascist over and over again as if like italy was the prime problem in world war ii they were one of the big problems but nazi germany was it i want to give a shout out to the federal reserve because i feel like it's the most fascist thing in our country right now. It's like a corporation with no government oversight that's controlling our government, our monetary supply, which is kind of our government. This is interesting.

Octorian says Rand Paul got 45 senators to kill the second impeachment. Yeah. Oh, good. Good. Which means Trump can run again if it's done. And Trump can pour $72 million into a bunch of political campaigns because he repealed that. The lobbying thing? Yeah, he's lobbying.

I read an article about it yesterday. He's already at it. Well, I think he wants to run again. So he's disavowing the Patriot Party filings. Like people have filed saying that their joint fundraising is like, that's not true. And apparently he's told Republicans he's not going to start a new political party. I guess that's probably the compromise. He probably went to them and said, if you convict me, I will start a new political party

and get people to run against you. And it'll be the end of the Republicans. Which I think it would be a great thing. I think people need to stop saying, but we have to have the Republican Party. There's a poll showing if people had a choice between the Patriot Party, the Republicans, Democrats, or other, who would they vote for? And Republican and Patriot are split. Democrats have 46%, but if you combine Republican with Patriot Party, it still loses to the Democrats.

People are not going to vote for Republicans next time around. It's not going to happen. Because of gerrymandering, there's a possibility the Republicans reclaim the House. That's a play. But I think without Trump, a lot of people are walking away. That's why no play. But I think without Trump, a lot of people are walking away. That's why they need Trump. Trump, if they convict him, it's all over for the Republicans. But like I said, even then, you know, in a presidential election, Democrats would win.

Forrest Horlacher says, love the work. Love you guys. Even Ian sometimes. Tim, I disagree with your statement lately to stop calling out the media double standards. I think it's very important that we do not give up and keep people in the know. It may seem redundant to you. It looks like there's another one from him coming up because it's got cut off. But I will just say right now, I'm not saying don't say it.

I'm saying it's getting to the point where we all know. And instead of saying, oh, no, the double standard, we say, well, there is a double standard and everyone knows. And it's not an issue of like whether it is or isn't real it is literally real so let's see i think there may have been another super chat but i don't know where it is because it got cut off but uh you know vasht says getling guns are not machine guns so you can legally own getling guns apparently i'm not i don't know all depends on your state right yeah yeah there you go investigate that let's see where we're at zanzibar says you can make an ar-15 full auto and i'm not going to read all of this just in case but he says it is illegal you should be uh

yes you should be able to have it whether you yeah so i can't i'm not going to read a super chat that mentioned something is literally illegal but apparently you can they sell conversion kits for this stuff too isn't it but it's like illegal like the atf tries to get people to do it yeah there's a lot of that funny business going around don't do it yeah obey the law zachary daily says hopefully you see this uh hopefully you see this bought a camera i can make money from pretty much anywhere looking to start broadcasting, recording these instances in the US. Since YouTube seems unsafe, what would you recommend? Honestly, I don't know.

YouTube will ban you if you're a journalist. So journalists, independent journalists are getting new across the board because unfiltered content that just shows things happening is a violation of YouTube's rules. I'm not even kidding. Be a good slave. Work for CNN. Be promoted in the kidding. Be a good slave. Work for CNN. Be promoted in the algorithm. Be promoted in the search. And then five years later expose all the horrible crap that they did. Also use Mines.

Use multiple platforms and start your own website and host your content on your own website too. And then use things like Twitter and YouTube to promote it as long as you can. Also Library and Odyssey. For us anyway, they've been a great platform to host content on. We put all of our files up on there. All of our media goes up on there.

And they're one of the few platforms that advertise us as, you know, look, the 3D-printed gun people are here. They're super cool. I mirrored my entire YouTube catalog on Library, on Odyssey. Very cool. Why hasn't someone created a social media platform that just aggregates all the social media platforms?

Because you need all the different APIs. No, you don't. They could open as a browser. You could create an app that just switches between the browsers and it's logged in on each one. What do you mean switches between the browsers? It could just function like a browser. So you build a browser. What does it do exactly?

It holds four specific tabs for whatever social networks networks and then you just swipe left and right between all of them and it's just functioning like a browser so you'll have someone's youtube channel you'll click their profile and then it'll load up a browser with all of their social media and you get all of it in one feed because it functions like a browser if you wanted to get it in like one feed the api thing i understand but you could literally just swipe left and right on their different posts. To just go to their YouTube channel, their Facebook channel, their Twitter channel. Well, I know you just do that with Brave.

You just have to open all the channels. The idea is to create an app where you can follow people but not control banning them because you don't actually host any content. So here's the idea. They say Parler got banned because they were hosting violent content and refuse to take it down. Okay, here's what I'll do. I will create an app that allows people to follow each other, but you literally can post nothing. You will never post anything. We will store nothing. The only thing we get is your name. And then if someone clicks your name, you as the person, the only thing you can do is include links to your other social platforms. So if they come to us and say,

your app is hosting this, that's not true. That's Twitter. That's not us. All we do is a directory for individuals and their social media. So like a portal? Kind of. But you'd be following them. So you'd pull up your app, and then you'd see the individuals.

You'd see like all it would say is you'd click the person, and then you'd see their Twitter. And then you'd swipe, you'd see their YouTube. You'd swipe, you'd see their Instagram. and it functions like a browser that's it it's just a browser and it loads the website when you when you click it then you'll be able to follow everybody and they can't ban you so what happens is let's say you're on twitter instagram and youtube and then i open my app and i'm following ian crossland and i go to your name and i see these three things where you post. But then one day you're banned from all of them. I still follow you, but now you have no active socials. So you go in and you change the link to Gab. Now when I click you,

I still see your posts. Oh, I see. But you're still following me. So I don't lose my follow ship. Exactly. You lose no followers and who you're following and you can be banned a million times. And then eventually you just set up your own website and then when i click your name it just loads your website in you know superstar.com or whatever i like maybe i shouldn't have given that idea away no do it maybe you should someone should build that well maybe open source so people can make more of them in case like an open source directory that allows you to follow anyone but doesn't post anything so amazon can't we're gonna say oh you're hosting this content we're literally not it's literally just a browser where

someone has like linked to their social accounts that's it i guess let me ask you this do you think it would matter to amazon that you're not actually hosting because it doesn't matter to youtube or google whether or not you violated their terms of service they're still going to delete your account and take down the another thing Another thing to really kind of... I saw a new report that came out that talked about how 94% of all child abuse images came from Facebook. When you have that in comparison to Parler being taken down, that's a big difference there. So to add to that point that you were making. I think the idea would work.

I mean, obviously, they would try to get rid of it. And they would say it's a directory listing a bunch of extremists or whatever and I'd be like, we don't host anything at all. All we do is it's a list of people like their names and then the content

is from somewhere entirely different. It's a browser. It's a browser with people who can make suggestions. I guess they can argue people could put in links to like bad sites or something. Yeah.

But you could make it so that they can only link to Twitter. Like they can only link to existing social platforms or whatever. But then I could link to your Twitter account with my browser unless the API is. Yeah. So they would need the API to verify that it's me. Or it's just the wrong account and they're telling you to follow somebody else, I guess. Hey, you know, it'd be really fun if you blockchained it.

And that way everyone's hosting the content on their own yeah they're getting the whole blockchain there we go yeah have you they would still you know probably try and remove the app from the app store or whatever and that's what people argued too like when they were banning all these social networks it's like dude what are you gonna do about ban a browser that's literally what they did when they banned gab's fediverse app it was like banning a browser what's this what was that app what's that thing called fediverse no no bro uh gab made a browser extension i think it's called oh dissenter yeah dissenter where you can comment on any website pocket net is like a decentralized blockchain social network that that's pretty promising yeah i like where that's headed

let's read some more super chats geary vision says we weren't allowed to use crew served weapons in many populated areas of Iraq and Afghan due to high numbers of civilian casualties. Pelosi wanted to unleash them on our own streets. F-ing disgraceful. Evil personified. Yeah. Joe Walton says,

Illinois has concealed carry now, but the licensing process takes a very long time. It took my brother more than six months to get his. Wow. Or bribes. Jeez. Gareth Green says, Stability breeds complacency. Forget autocracy and democracy.

Anocracy for the win. What's anocracy? Anarchy? Well, I don't know. It says anocracy. I feel like it's anarchy, but like spelled fun. Martin Edgar says, California has banned potato guns.

Okay. That sounds right. Thomas Bennett says, Alex, you can still officiate my wedding, buddy. From Tridge. Yeah, I am a pastor. I can officially. There you go. And I did it for him, and he never set up a date.

So it's on you, buddy. Spridge Bandersnatch says, Tim, why did it take so long for you to gun up? You should have done it the day the weirdo showed up at your house at 3 a.m. Then came back later. Well, we lived like literally next door to the police station. Which is why when the dude showed up, the cops were there in like less than a minute. And so I didn't think I needed it. The cop told me to buy a gun.

He's like, well, here's what he said. If it were me, I'd answer the door with a shotgun. But looking at the laws, I was like, I'd still have to run. So it's like someone comes to my door i have to go out the back door and run away that's ridiculous it's just it's just ridiculous so maybe take 10 steps and be like no he's much faster than i am sure but then you go to court and be like we think you could have and you're like but i couldn't doesn't matter we think you could have maybe rubber bullets i i think that wasn't allowed either i'm not sure it's crazy yeah but anyway look ultimately

covet happened and i was like oh man like we're we're gonna have to rely on ourselves it was just like i didn't think the police would be able to handle mass riots food riots and we saw food riots we saw crazy stuff happening not like the worst in the world and we saw the george floyd riots and then when the literal riots happened with george floyd i was like i better go get some guns but i think i actually was in the process of getting guns well before that yeah you were yeah it was like what shocked me was when police stations started shutting down for covid and there wasn't a mass well there was a mass we're gonna run out and buy guns but there's more now than there was then that surprises me ag uh ag cast says pew is telling you guys the hardcore mode we're american and can use gun parts like a glock or rp9 barrels for late uh for the

ladder being ten dollars i have no engineering background and built an fgc9 it's like pc building cool so i could just order those parts and then do it yeah like we we covered a little bit ago there are mods for the fgC9 that let you use Glock barrels. And you can, with a little bit of skill, a little bit of practice, you can mod it yourself to use a different barrel that you happen to have lying around. So, you know, the options are there if you want to use them. The FGC9 specifically was built by a guy. Well, it was a derivation of another design. The FGC9 was done by a guy in the UK

to specifically be, you know, something he would be able to build in the UK and, you know, by extension through most of the rest of the world. Yeah, it'd be fun to try and put one of those things together. Yeah, hard mode, absolutely. Russell Brown says,

you can also find ones with different attachments like a CNC laser at your 3D printer. Interesting. Steven Chambers says, Tim, please talk about video games more for fun. We 90s kids need to stick together. You could cover game stories that wouldn't be allowed today, etc.

I mean, maybe on the website as we expand, that's the plan. We're going to have a bunch of different kinds of content. There's going to be other websites that start emerging from this. The goal with TimCast.com isn't just to be this podcast, but to actually expand

and do more different sites and things like that, which you will see soon. And in the meantime, Red Dead Redemption 2 online is $5 on Steam until February. Get it.

Wow. Or we could all play a video game as a podcast. We could all play The Last of Us. Oh, yeah. And that would be the podcast. We could all play The Last of Us. Oh, yeah. And that would be the podcast. That would be awesome.

There you go. Gemcast says, Full auto is good when you're outnumbered alone in close quarters. That's why government agencies don't like it and wants to know who had them, even the odds. Interesting. J. Mac and Cheese Macintosh says, Tim, love your work. Have you checked out the battle between Reddit and Wall Street over GameStop stock?

Could be the shot heard around the world in the Robin Hood investor revolution. I've been watching it. I don't know enough about it other than basically some short sellers were trying to short GameStop. So then Reddit was like, we're just going to buy it. And then it screwed over hedge funds. I don't know the full story. Otherwise, we would have gone over it. So like a short seller is when someone bets on stocks like gambling on the stock's gonna fail

and people saw all these big corporations gambling that the stock was gonna fail so they all invested in it raise the stock and cause these corporations to lose money that's insane it's awesome game stop i but it doesn't mean that game stops stock is valuable they're just using it to screw people over but some people are saying that if gameop switches to an online retailer they'll own the market they should do that and and they're slow and they're they're missing the opportunity behind steam and origin and stadia which is microsoft yep but they could they could still do it they tried they tried shifting so gamestop tried shifting into a more like geek culture thing with like geek was what's what's the store called?

Geek something. I don't know. Whatever. But I think what they should have done is they should have opened up gaming tables. Like brick and mortar gaming tables? Yep. Board games and card games. Yeah. And they already sell a lot of that stuff.

I feel so bad with COVID. It's just decimated that industry. Yep. Definitely. Gareth Green says, Tim, the law of scarcity is absolute. Even if we had replicators, there would be

a finite number of replicators, not to mention resources necessary to manufacture them. Replicators would make replicators. And the resource could be light. Photons can be condensed into electrons, which can be...

Yeah, in Star Trek, I believe it's the nacelles collect hydrogen and then use that for their replicators. And then replicators can replicate replicator parts to assemble a new replicator. You can actually make light out of the vacuum, and then you can turn light into matter. I guess the general idea is you do need the matter, and they would collect hydrogen in massive amounts and then use that as the base.

I was posting about how they're actually creating light out of the vacuum of space and then they're turning the light into the matter. So, and then you can condense the electrons into hydrogen. Well, I don't know. Check this out. And you'll like this one.

Bam says, have you started trying to develop homemade ammo casings? Apparently shot shells are made of HDPE or LDPE plastic. Full plastic shot shells were experimented on during the sixties and seventies by Winchester. Yeah, it sounds awesome. Full plastic. Yeah, it's yeah it's uh it's it's been worked on there's there's a guy who is actually 3d printing the 12 gauge i talked about it there um uh and i completely i got plastic shells yeah i've spaced on his username but it's the liberator 12K project. It's 12-gauge plastic shotguns. This is interesting.

So I saw this video. Aaron Trucker says, a gaming channel called The Spiffing Brit made a video explaining a YouTube algorithm glitch using community polls. He got over 25 million views in two days. It's going to be patched now that it's public, but you could benefit now. I believe The Spiffing Brit is wrong. I believe he's absolutely wrong. So for those that aren't familiar, what he said was YouTube rolled out the community tab function. They wanted people to use it. So they created,

you know, a general algorithm that promotes those who post in the community tab. But because no one uses it, you could now make a post, put a bunch of keywords in it, and then YouTube would send it to a ridiculous amount of people. He said that he was able, based on his calculations, to get around 25 million views. Well, first I'll say I could be wrong about this, but my general understanding is that he got like 150,000 likes and then said if on average 4% of people click the like button, that should be, you know, what we estimated between 25 or so million or whatever. He said one in 40 people, something like that. Anyway, I think he's wrong about the algorithm being a glitch. It's not a

glitch. And his not a glitch. And his discovery of it and exploitation of it is exactly what YouTube's wanted the entire time. And I know this because YouTube's told me this. So, you know, this video comes out and this guy's like, nobody uses it. So if you use it, you'll get a ton of views. And it's like, right. That's what YouTube wants. YouTube wants people to use it and get a benefit from it so that people start using it. Now, this video comes out claiming it's an exploit, saying that YouTube is not going to patch this. I don't believe they will, because the algorithm is designed to work with an equilibrium. If only one person uses it, then the only community post anyone on the site will see is from one person. If only 10% of people use it, then everyone will see only 10% of people who use it.

Now, because of this video, everyone starts using it. Then it's going to balance out and just normalize. And YouTube needs to do nothing. So I've used the community tabs frequently for a lot of things because it's useful when it is, but not for, you know, enough. Seeing that video just made me go, oh, yeah, I should post more on the community tab. Not like, wow, what an exploit. No, I know, enough. Seeing that video just made me go, oh yeah, I should post more on the community tab. Not like, wow, what an exploit. No, I fully get it.

YouTube emailed me a long time ago saying, we're going to be prioritizing the community tab and those that use it more will see a higher watch time and we'll see, you know, all these benefits. And I was like, cool, right on. That was it. It's not a secret. YouTube's been telling creators to do this.

They've been emailing them, telling them to do this. It just so happened that nobody cared. And some dude discovered that he can get a ton of views because nobody cared. And then he told everybody, I guess. And now he's going to get a lot of play for it. Good for him. I just think it's what YouTube wants. They're happy it's happening.

But you can give it a shot if you want. It will benefit you because nobody uses it, right? Kalenshenshaw indie game says the real question for tonight's guest will biden buy back a 3d printed 3d printed gun and how much profit margin is control pew looking at here will he is there is when they do gun buybacks is there any uh like restriction on what you can turn in i mean i feel like the more terrifying that they tell you the firearm is, the more money they should give you for it. Yes. So if on average, I spend $2 per printed firearm, and you know, I have a lot of R&D. So there's a lot of failed prints that are close enough to being firearms where I think they're firearms, and these people at the buyback aren't going to know the difference. So I feel like I'm looking at a margin of like $400 to $500 per, and I have a box full.

So anyone who comes to this buyback after me isn't going to get anything, because I'm just going to take all their money. Well, there you go. Excellent plan. Bud's next is, have you seen the recent Rage Against the Machine propaganda piece? I know they are left, but did not believe they would go that far. I didn't see it. Has anybody seen that? No they do i don't know and uh someone messaged me about it i'll read it really quick hank mccormick says ask your guests about his opinions about polymer 80

and 80 lowers i think we did yeah i think we talked about with the the buyback the the buy build shoot kit i think the atf is wrong and i I think Paul Meridy does good work. Let's see. Placid Saint says, hey, Tim, the ammo company Phoenix here in Michigan got cited for its employees not wearing masks, and now they're no longer selling distributing ammo to law enforcement or their departments. Wow. Wow, that's funny. Spicy. There you go.

Heart you, Phoenix. There you go. Griffin Games says, all this talk about pew-pews reminds me of a quote about calibers. Quote, 9mm takes care of the body 45 takes care of the soul Don't want people coming back as a lich What's that from? Wait is there something about liches? Like it sounds like a video game

Yeah it was a quote about 45s Not wanting because they don't want people to come back as a lich Sounds like ARFCOM lore to me They're trying to shatter their Their What is it called? Their phylactery Lich. Sounds like ARFCOM lore to me. They're trying to shatter their their what is it called? Their phylactery. If you destroy the Lich's phylactery, they can't respawn.

Their life essence is bound to it. Sterling Moore says, Tim, look up trigger activators. They allow essentially full auto fire by means of a hand crank that attaches to the trigger guard and are legal. Similarly, crank Gatling guns are perfectly legal and considered semi-auto so the crank attachment is not legal in the state of iowa federally yeah you're probably okay in the state what does it do it like it it hits the trigger

when you crank it it's got a little flap on a little on an axle and as you crank it it just pulls the trigger so how do you hold it do you like so like your shoulder and and as you crank it, it just pulls the trigger. So how do you hold it? Do you like, like your shoulder and then you just like that. Wow. Oh my gosh. See how, like you can't regulate it all, everything. Eventually someone's going to figure out some weird, ridiculous circuitous system that uses a loophole. Yeah. Someone, like I was saying, it's going to get ridiculous.

Someone will have an accordion and they're like, I'm just playing music. I love it. This is why prohibition never worked. That's right. Government doesn't work. Government doesn't work. It's all gone. The Rage Against the Machine, they're doing a documentary on race and racism called Killing in Thy Name. Are you serious?

It's a 15-minute mini doc. I haven't seen it, though. Have you ever seen that video of the people with the Trump flags and the Blue Lives Matter flag dancing to Killing in the Name of? Or is it Killing in the Name? It's kind of funny because the song is literally about cops killing you know non-white people and there's a trump supporter with like a blue a thin blue line flag and they're like singing the song and dancing brilliant and then they were i think um tom morello he said when we wrote the song we never imagined like this would happen you know well i

maybe they don't understand uh conservatives enough i had many interesting conversations with Tom Morello, and he always seemed like someone who didn't like the left and the right, but I guess that's changing now. Money talks, BS walks. Tiger says, There are over 100 million AK-47s on Earth. If 99% of them magically vanished, it leaves one per day for the next 2,739 years. There will never be a world without guns.

They're too easy to make. Google Dara Adam Kell, Pakistan. Interesting. William Samet says, Tim Pool gives horrible advice. He tells people to smash that like button, but I am a gorilla, and now my computer is broken. Give it a little tap. Just a little teeny tap. Headbutt.

Joshua Inzer says, potassium nitrate check out dr stone yes ah is that what's in the bat poop there you go gunny are arlo arloquin are we talking about metal printing for cases or one use plastic i'm guessing the 55 000 psi of a 556 was not would not agree with plastic yeah probably um singleuse plastics for a lot of like lower pressure black powder stuff 12 gauge stuff shotguns can probably get away with it uh for rifles we're going to need some sort of casting to get involved and if we're going to use the fdm space all right abrasive fpv says i received my type 07 ffl a few weeks ago. Currently tooling up to start selling extremely affordable 3D printed guns. Control Pew and Ivan have been an inspiration for me.

The mission is to legally arm as many people as possible for as little as possible. Interesting. A store that sells 3D printed guns. They'd be really cheap, wouldn't they? I would imagine. Until you get insurance involved. It's like I was saying. Like Kodak disposable cameras.

You know? You don't need a camera. You just go and you buy the disposable one. It's got the film. You can't reload it. You bring it in. They break it open. They get the film out. That's it. You buy the 3D printed gun, and once the magazine's in, it's got 20 rounds that can't be reloaded, like

a Kodak disposable camera. I wonder if you could brace plastic bullets with metal. So instead of printing the whole case out of metal, you print it out of plastic and then you cap it with a little bit of metal so like instead of printing the whole case out of metal you print it out of plastic and then you cap it with a little bit of metal so that when the pressure when it hits pressure it doesn't shatter like if the metal could somehow somehow brace so you don't have to you just say i don't know how does the so the the liberator is pure plastic with a nail right yes so that plastic can withstand the the pressure of the nine millimeter

obviously for a certain amount of rounds so the liberator is using either a 38 acp or 32 which are pretty low power low power pistol cartridges and the barrel is very thick could you do 22 i know it's rimfire but would you be able to do it i have seen it done i don't know like the longevity of that yeah because i'd imagine it's a much weaker it's not so really it deals with chamber pressures that initial shock yeah uh is what creates the fracture and then destroys the barrel interesting so it's a little higher than the others but oh okay so it's worse yeah oh wow well the more you learn you know there you go all right let's grab a couple more of these. Kami Sama says flamethrowers are not legally weapons in Michigan. Long live the murder cube.

They're illegal almost everywhere except for two states. That's irritating. Jose Gonzalez says Tulsi Gabbard was on Tucker Carlson an hour ago, and she'd definitely be an awesome Republican candidate. Isn't that funny? Yeah. She released a very powerful video today comparing John Brennan to using an Adam Schiff to try to institute KGB tactics here in the United States for the surveillance state.

She said they're a bigger threat and more dangerous than those who stormed the Capitol. She said the John Brennans and the Adam Schiffs who want to institute a KGB police state in this country. Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi just started a locals account. Oh, did she? That's Dave Rubin's social network. There you go.

She's going social. Very cool. There you go. Janet Partridge says, Tim, just wanted to thank you. I used to paint realism paintings in oils. I haven't done a painting in five years. Thanks to you, I'm getting back into it.

I just wanted you to know your messages do get through. Appreciate it. That's awesome. Well, if you haven't already, go to TimCast.com and become a member because we will have bonus segments,

more bonus segments. And next week, we're going on a special top secret mission, which we will film much of and create a special members-only video, which may involve

something that rhymes with Schmifty G N Re. Did that work? No. You confused a whole bunch of people. You sound like QAnon. Okay. Let me try again. It rhymes

with Schmifty Malibur. Okay. There you go. That worked, right? Yeah. We're going to make a video. Hopefully. Hopefully. And we're going to make a video. Hopefully, hopefully.

And we will be back, of course, live tomorrow night. You can follow me on Twitter, Instagram, Parler at... I'm sorry, not Parler. Wow, why did I say Parler? Parler will be back. Yes. Twitter, Instagram, Mines at TimCast. I do have a Gab account. I've never posted there Twitter, Instagram, mines at TimCast. I do have a Gab account. I've never posted there, but I'm Gab at TimCast as well.

And like I said, TimCast.com to become a member. Alex, do you want to shout out your social media, your projects, where people can download your guides to learn about 3D printed guns? Yeah. So first place to go, theguide.controlview.com. That'll get you started in 3D printing. Controlview.com is my site. We'll post updates about what's going on with the community, new file releases, news and events. And finally, all of my social medias.

I am ControlPew. If you click the little menu on the side of my site, you'll get all of them. I'm everywhere. Right on. I live by a very simple motto. If the government exists, you have to watch out for your sphincters. A very simple, common information that I share on my YouTube channel, We Are Change. The shirt that I'm wearing right now says,

Stinking is extremely dangerous to our democracy. You can get it at thebestpoliticalshirts.com. And I thank you guys for watching and participating in this show. You guys are really freaking cool. And thanks for giving me the opportunity to talk to everyone. You guys are really freaking cool, and thanks for giving me the opportunity to talk to everyone. You guys are really freaking cool, man. Right? You said it's guides slash c-t-r-l-p?

The guide dot control p-u, so c-t-r-l-p-e-w dot com. Got it. Hey, I want to give a special thanks to Tim Poole for purchasing me this graphene for Christmas. This is pure graphene. Cool. I knew it was the perfect gift yeah it really is and i'm going to be spinning this in a moment but alex i'll show

this to you in a bit because when you were talking about making black powder this stuff is black powder so i wonder if it's pure carbon so i wonder if this will somehow be a future ammo i just want to give a shout out to graphene spin it for you and um you can follow me at ian crossland i'm going to be i believe we're going to be gaming later tonight on can follow me at ian crossland i'm gonna be i believe we're gonna be gaming later tonight on twitch.tv slash ian crossland so come follow me there follow me on twitter and i'll shout you out on twitter when i'm about to go live super cool and then me in the corner i looked up anocracy since somebody mentioned it in the super chat and apparently it is really a thing it's a form of government that is loosely defined as part democratic and

part dictatorship or as a regime that mixes democracy with autocratic features so that's kind of interesting interesting today i learned okay so i finally figured out my socials so on instagram and gab i am at real sour patch lids and on twitter and mines i am just sour patch lids so you can follow me at any of those places and of course we'll be back live like i mentioned and you can check out my other YouTube channels, youtube.com slash Timcast, youtube.com slash Timcast News. The goal of what we're doing with Timcast.com is going to be more than just this show. It's going to be eventually more personalities. It's going to be a bigger brand.

It's going to be a bunch of stuff. And you'll see. Don't worry. Don't worry. It's coming. And there's a lot I can't necessarily talk about now, but we're going to take care of everybody and make sure everybody is uh who wants to be a part of it can be so so trust me in that one other than that stick around because we'll have some bonus content coming up at timcast.com for members only and we will see you then later today thanks for hanging out and we will see you

next time or whatever later guys bye guys
