    How did you end up on those lists, if you don’t mind sharing, maybe even generally?

      I’m probably on a few. I’m fascinated with asymmetrical warfare and like to tinker, but I’m also pretty safety-conscious and religiously nonviolent

      I’ve 3d printed a firearm, but decided to destroy it before having a kid to keep them safe

      I’ve researched IEDs and homemade explosive compounds pretty extensively and wanted to make a batch to detonate at a suitable test range, but ultimately concluded there was no way to produce it safely

      I designed a fun little mid-to-long range doohickey with an old microwave and a parabolic reflector, but very intentionally never activated it because I’d prefer not to simultaneously piss off the FAA, FCC, and potentially ATF

        Thanks for taking the time to explain. Curiosity killed the cat, and also gets the human on a few lists lol
