Across Australia, police are encountering more homemade firearms in seizures, including some that are largely 3D-printed.

"I mean, I don’t support them but if they build a gun I can’t do anything about that," the Brazilian designer, known online as Joseph the Parrot, said on a podcast.

"If you are upset about a white supremacist building a Urutau, you can build one yourself to counter him."

That's one of the most Brazilian statements about gun violence I've ever heard...

What a clown! This Brazilian guy has no idea about escalation!

I'd build TWO Urutaus. And a bazooka.

It really is a statement divorced from reality.

"Countering" is a 50% improvement at best. Your initial probability of being shot correlates with the number of other people with guns. Ideally zero.

Is ammunition also controlled? Are people DIYing ammo as well?
