Paint ball guns with permanent ink ammunition works too.

You can get the same thing cheaper via Craigslist and they’ll have a harder time tracing ownership. A crackhead hawking stolen hardware store crap is not going to really be as helpful to the surveillance state as they’d like.

Damn that's aluminium, not steel. You can do that with an angle grinder, reciprocating saw, or even a mapp gas torch

I can definitely cut steal with my angle grinder.

Killing nazis is also a crime. Both currently, and throughout nazi Germany. Do with that information what you will.

panopticon

Great word choice.

It’s quite common to hear we’re living in a digital panopticon. See modern philosophers.
