Its not about the guns.

Its about making sure you can't replace that little plastic part that broke, requiring you to buy an entire new item.

I fixed a bread machine with an Ender-3 once. And then a machine that was destined for the trash lasted for a few more years, all the while making loaves of bread that I didn't have to buy from the store.
