Like this one where you use a hand drill and a router?
or would you prefer this one where everything is done on a drill press?
pretty sure jigs are not allowed. on the official documentation it approves only two tools. a hand drill and dremel. maybe it is state to state, but i know they crack down on people who buy 'manufacturing equipment' to process the 80% lowers. if you but things like lathes and drill presses they want you to get your manufacturing license.

when you turn something you love's head in side out the purpose of a gun goes from plinking cans or making noise in a video game to real life and death. these lessons can not be explained but rather can be only experienced. it makes the kid think twice before he lowers a shot gun to his buddy even if he sure it is unloaded and pull the trigger.

Which is why I used actual statistics and not news sources. Because news stories tend to not put individual stories into perspective to show how common gun deaths are per capita or how those rates tally against the rest of the world. And for America, we don’t do very well by any objective sense of the word. Unless, of course, one of your metrics for doing well involves “how fast do these people kill themselves or each other?”
but again stats like this never look at the big picture all suicide all murder. they only look at murder or suicide with gun. verse suicide with gun in some other country. i'm saying the ratios are similar with similar cultures money or access to fire arms being the only difference.

Everyone wants to point at the US and scream about gun violence..
Look it up. The US comes in WAAAYY behind some other countries (per capita).
But they don't want to talk about Mexico or Brazil....
Just the US....
"Oh but those are THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES"
.....
So for some reason they don't count.....
also like to point out the cities in the us with the absolute worst gun violence/3rd world country level violence has the strictest or out right complete gun banns. this only serves to disarm law abiding citizens. the bad guys always can get guns and do not care what laws you put on the books.
