> but a weapon can't be in any imaginable circumstance reachable by anyone untrained.

I agree with your main point that the FZ is easily reproduced. I think you miss the mark with this one. Firearms are easily made at home with simple tools and off-the-shelf materials. For example, the United States has a rich tradition of home-made firearms. To provide a concrete example, a shotgun can be made with a length of steel plumbing pipe, electrical tape, a nail, and a cap. Yes, it's that simple.



Well that is not my main point in the comment you responded to


If I understand now, your argument is that flipper zero is not a social danger, while firearms are, am I correct?


If by social danger you mean I would be really impressed if you managed to throw a flipper zero into someone and kill him, then yes that is the gist. It's a matter of degree.


ok - well I agree with you. You had a good comment, and I appreciate it :)


cheers! I also liked to be put to test in whatever argument I find myself in. Hope it was as interesting for you as it was for me.
