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

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
buying a bunch of guns with your weirdo friends isn't illegal either, didn't stop the atf from rolling tanks through the walls in waco
That's fair, but I'm also guessing they were buying in larger quantities than the average gun enthusiast. Not that that makes Waco okay obviously, but still.
I'm also not super knowledgeable on what happened in Waco, but today is a whole different ballgame than the 90's in terms of manufacturing. I'll leave it at that.
