As for sanity, gun arguments aside, the manifesto isn’t unhinged.

Just curious, what do you mean by "gun arguments aside"?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I’m a gun owner. There is a subset of people who think that alone makes you unhinged as a human being.

Luigi is just crazy enough to do what he did (allegedly). Probably not even a gun owner beyond an engineer guy makes this tool/thing on his printer and then learns how to become proficient using that tool/thing. I don’t think Luigi was LARPing training exercises with an AK, with friends, in the northern MI woods. I think he probably approached it the same way the rest of us would approach learning Linux for our next PC build.

I see, thanks for the clarification! I thought you were referring to the actual manifesto, and I was going to point out that the supposed real one didn't mention guns at all, but if I recall correctly the fake one did. So never mind me.

Shit, now I’m wondering. I’m talking about the pseudo apologetic one that talks about printing the gun. Not being the best person to decide this, etc.
