"With the publication, in the July 1941 issue of Astounding Science Fiction magazine, of the story Seesaw, van Vogt began unfolding the complex tale of the oppressive Empire of Isher and the mysterious Weapon Shops. This volume, The Weapon Shops of Isher, includes the first three parts of the saga and introduces perhaps the most famous political slogan of science fiction: The Right to Buy Weapons is the Right to Be Free. Born at the height of Nazi conquest, the Isher stories suggested that an oppressive government could never completely subjugate its own citizens if they were well armed. The audience appeal was immediate and has endured long beyond other stories of alien invasion, global conflict and post war nuclear angst."

Ooh, my first sticky. Thank you based mods.
It's perfectly legal (in free states) to manufacture any weapon you can legally possess but you cannot do so with intent to transfer.
These are not for sale glowboi.
I was gonna say something about it being a shitpost, but there’s so much value in both your comments, I just laughed.
They can't be sold (not sure about traded), so you gotta print your own
They can be sold in some cases, but not if you manufacture with intent to sell.
I think some states may require serialization if you do transfer them.
From what I understand, they can be sold, but your intention cannot be to sell during manufacture. So yeah, have fun proving that case to a jury.
