alt Hacker News> You know it's easy to get illegal guns right?
Where though? It's certainly easier in some parts of the worlds than others, and surely something in the environment makes this easier/harder, I wonder if we could identify what exactly?

In your basement with simple tools. 3D printers made it a lot easier and better. You can make a pipegun with very little skill.
Ammunition is a bit harder, but again, there is criminal markets that fill the needs.

You just don't know because you have no interest, if you had an interest you would know. Druggies know where to get drugs and preppers/criminals/cops know how to make/buy a gun everywhere on earth. Tech people, by this line of thought, should never have a censored internet, but you would be surprised.
Guns are 500+ year old technology at this point, manufacture is possible anywhere, as the industrious artisans of Yemen and Northwest Pakistan have shown.
