#3D-printed guns

[historyofguns]

In the article "Ghost Guns — Myth vs. Reality" by Richard Johnson, published on The Armory Life, the author delves into the contentious topic of homemade firearms, commonly referred to in media as "ghost guns." Johnson argues that the term "ghost guns" has been politicized to incite fear, despite homemade firearms being a long-standing part of American history. He highlights that crafting firearms at home is generally legal under federal law, though some states impose restrictions. The article clarifies that homemade guns are not undetectable nor inherently illegal, and notes the importance of understanding local laws before engaging in such activities. Johnson also emphasizes the complexities involved in manufacturing firearms, whether through traditional methods or newer technologies like 3D printing, stressing that these processes are not as simple as some media portray. The article concludes by challenging the misleading nature of the term "ghost guns" and advocating for better-informed discussions on the subject.

DIY Disaster: How 3D Printing and Bad Decisions Revolutionized Crime By C.R. ‘Loose Lips’ Leake In a story straight out of a dystopian tech thriller, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare was allegedly gunned down with a weapon that could have been crafted in someone’s garage. No, this wasn’t a standard Glock-19, the trusty sidekick of law enforcement and action movie stars alike. Instead, the gun was a…

Something I just realized about Luigi Mangione being accused of the Thompson shooting

The NYPD is claiming they found a 3d Printed gun on Mangione

That implies that Luigi Mangione didnt have a gun registered to himself so the police had to invent evidence

Also Ive been seeing his life all over the news and there is no mention of this guy being into 3d Printing which would be a damning piece of evidence right?

funniest possible outcome is this isn't even the guy who did it, it's just a guy seeing if he can convince people he did. second funniest possible outcome is it is him and he really does have breloom in his twitter header.

FBI says it seized biggest cache of explosives in its history from Virginia Farm

Dude is *only* charged with illegal possession of an "unregistered short barrel rifle (SBR)" -- which appears to be referring to a legal and unregulated 37mm boat flare launcher that you'd in fact be required by law to have on a boat!!!

"pipe bombs" are bullshit: those are signaling cartridges for the boat flare launcher.

"suicide vest" is 🤣 pouches for the flare cartridges!

The dude appears to be enthusiastic and a bit of a home gunsmithing hobbyist. That is okay and is permitted and protected by the 2nd fucking Amendment to our US Constitution, damnit!!!!

If the FBI was describing an antique flintlock rifle from the revolutionary war right now, they'd say scary-but-completely-bullshit things like, "large caliber sniper rifle" and "dangerous handmade firearm with no serial number" and call the powder horn "a large amount of black powder explosives designed to be concealed and carried on the person"

It's still in 2 halves while I rework the firing mechanism but ouughhhhh I'm glad the printing is over and I can finally throw paint at it. Gunmetal spray looked a lil light a first but the distressing step made a huge difference.

If you are anti gun or pro gun control of any kind. you can’t be pro-Luigi.

And it’s done. The Einhorn Magnum from Signalis (based on the Chiappa Rhino)

3D Print file by Dominiclarner on Cults3d

It’s very hard to make out many details in the game, due to it’s very stylized PlayStation style graphics, so there was a lot of creative liberty taken here. I adjusted some of the print’s details to fit more in line with the original Chiappa Rhino, like the cylinder release and safety switch.

Overall, I decided to make it look more grimy and dirty than I otherwise would have, because Signalis as a whole has a very decayed and eroded theme going on, so I tried to represent that in a IRL object.

The result is a(n admittedly a bit weird) combination of cartoony and weathered.

Does anyone else my age feel like they’re living in a sci-fi movie or am I the only person that grew up in the 2010s who thinks we’re way too cool with the fact that 3D printers & VR headsets & AI tech are a thing now

Operational Security is extremely important to protect your digital privacy

Encryption, passwords, multiple burner devices, a VPN that make tracking your IP address more difficult, for example

I don't think Luigi Mangione shot anyone, but because he used social media like Good reads, Facebook, Reddit, untrustworthy Internet service providers, etc those social media websites either handed over his information freely or he was finked on by people who knew his online identity

Obviously I'm not advocating for terrorism, anarchy, sabatuers, or wha eva. I just don't want my tax dollars to be wasted because you got yourself locked up doing something stupid

This should seem obvious, but don't trust no body police have gone undercover in order to trick protesters into breaking the law

I bet you've never even heard about Ruby Ridge
