Now I am old(er), but when I was a kid, a few of us knew how to make our own zip gun. Not an ideal platform, but for one shot it worked. I don't really see the difference with a plastic gun, and since pressure cooker bombs pans are on-line, and if you are in a hurry to hurt someone you still do not need a license to buy any number of garden tools or a baseball bat.
I am not a big gun guy (I own one) but this seems like a political issue to me, not a violence issue.
What I don't think a lot of people understand, is that the idiots that commit crimes think differently than the rest of us. A criminal doesn't care about himself (or herself) and certainly doesn't care about anyone else. Laws and penalties are a must, but there are those that just will not abide by any rules, and any damage to people no matter who they are is not important.
Everyone should have (thankfully DOES HAVE) the right to use force to defend themselves against such reckless people.
