Who We Are
While profitability keeps Indie Guns running, it’s not what drives us. We are part of a network of like-minded individuals who understand—and are committed to resisting—the historical reality that tyrants disarm populations. Self-built arms empower their creators with the anonymity needed to safeguard against future confiscations or persecution.
Our mission goes far beyond making sales. It’s about ensuring that those who share this vision have access to what they need, even when facing opposition. This is not just a business—it’s a cause.

Operating under the radar, I re-emerged as 2A Dark, focused on supplying builders, exposing rats, and resisting tyranny. While Indie Guns had to adapt, its legacy remains: the name, logo, and URL stand as a defiant reminder that trust, privacy, and quality endure.
