Let’s start with a disclaimer: If you have little to no experience with guns, it’s probably not wise to try assembling your own. It can be dangerous to make a mistake—even deadly. There’s no shame in buying a firearm from a reputable manufacturer and then taking a class to learn how to handle it safely, defensively, and intelligently.
But do-it-yourself has its appeal as well. For those who already have basic firearm know-how and competence with common tools, it’s easy to make a gun that’s just as safe as one bought from a store.
It’s also perfectly legal in most American jurisdictions, writes Reason‘s Mark McDaniel.
