American "proletariat" can't even conceive of the possibility of making anything, they can only buy things on the market. Why? Maybe because they're labor aristocrat imperialists who work in graphic design and have never made anything in their lives

The people of the provinces of Punjab and Sindh view the bearing and use of arms as a constitutional right whereas the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan view it as part of their culture.

Other enduring customs and a strong culture of honor also promote the prevalence and importance of guns. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where the Pashtun residents laud performances of strength and toughness, carrying an AK-47 or other gun is a sign of honour and respect. Aerial firing is fairly common on special occasions such as weddings and festivals, despite being illegal. As such, the broader Pakistani social necessity of portable and displayable wealth takes on an intimidating form among male members of provincial society.

sounds reactionary and bourgeois

    An 80% Lower Receiver, sometimes called “80 lowers” or “a paperweight”, are AR-15, .308, or AR-9 lower receivers that are 80% finished in the machining process. There’s still a small amount of finishing to be done to make these products a legal firearm. This is important because the ATF does NOT recognize an 80% complete lower as a firearm, and therefore is not subject to the same regulations as any other complete firearm.

    There's a whole industry around individuals building and modifying guns for personal use. Plenty of people don't just essentially build from a kit, either; they go through the red tape necessary to do more involved gunsmithing.

    OP's link is interesting, but everything about "oh Americans would never do this" is pretty far off base.
