@stevejail You can 3D print a gun now…
@alex @stevejail Much easier to make a knife. And you don't need any ammo.
@stevejail @alex Seriously, water pistol flamethrowers would probably make excellent ambush weapons, eg when answering doors to police. Particularly for semi-suicide attacks where you don't expect to survive.
You don't even need to kill the target: police officers would change their behavior radically if many of them ended up with horrible 3rd degree burns on their faces and hands.
@stevejail @alex Flammable liquids are terrifying things.
@stevejail @alex Can also be used as booby traps: dump a bunch of gasoline in a house in response to a police raid via a sprinkler system and burn everyone inside.
Gasoline and piping are readily available; no way to regulate that. Hell, even a bunch of high proof alcohol, cooking oil, etc would work well once gasoline gets banned.
