You wish !

It's funny that you mention DNS blocks because these have already been abused in my country. Nobody cares.

I don't want that much state control on my life, they have too much already. Your proposal is straight up Orwelian stuff to me.



I respect your opinion and I think you have a very healthy view on what freedom means and how much influence the government should have on your life.

If I read comments like yours it reminds me whom I fought for, and in a perfect world you should be able to print as many guns as you desire. Unfortunately we don’t live in a perfect world.

I don’t need to persuade you that my solution for this problem is the best or even worth pursuing, it probably isn’t and I never think I’m the smartest person in the room. I just say this is how it’s technically possible, because the person I replied to asked about how it could even be done.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to exchange thoughts with me. Take care and stay a free and independent human being.


I should mention that I don't even have a 3D printer or a CNC machine. I'll be in my fifties soon and maybe I get grumpy, but I sometimes have the feeling that more and more aspects of our lives fall under a law of some sort, down to very precise details. It's death of freedom by a thousand paper cuts. And it's always in the name of a good thing, of course. But in the end, it's really taking responsability away from the people.

Anyway, thanks for this discussion.
