Government will push back against home manufactured guns

FTA:
There should be little doubt that government "gun controllers" will resist their impending loss of control that easy home manufacture of firearms will bring about. For example, National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea once noted rumors that the BATFE was planning to designate AR-15 upper receivers as the "gun," when chambered for the .50 BMG cartridge. BATFE would claim that it has the power to do this by administrative fiat, without even the thin veneer of Constitutionality that a law passed by Congress would bestow upon the new infringement. If they think they can do that with .50 BMG upper receivers, what is to stop them from usurping the same power for every other caliber?

In other words, one should not expect even widespread availability of the means to easily make effective firearms at home to win the war on "gun control" by itself. In the end, it will still require decent people willing to fight and die--or, preferably, kill--for their liberty. The government's problem is our hands--they're not cold and dead yet.
