How easy has it become for someone to build a deadly, and untraceable weapon?

    1. He has not been found guilty in a court of law. It is unethical to have a title like ‘Luigi Mangione’s ‘Ghost Gun’ when he has not been found guilty. What are you doing?? ALLEGED. Fix this title and fix this summary. The opening sentence is ‘this is the gun used in the most high-profile assassination in recent memory.’ Prove it! He hasn’t been found guilty, and this gun is ALLEGED, it is not proven. WTF Wired.

    2. @WIRED “We 3D-Printed Luigi Mangione’s Ghost Gun. It Was Entirely Legal”

      Kinda disingenuous title, no? The can was ABSOLUTELY not legal thanks to the NFA; You had to have a licensed FFL, Mr. James Reeves, to print it for you. And even then, unless you filled out the forms and paid the $200 tax stamp, it’s not yours. Legally.

    3. ​@StupidRiceball I did see the can had a washer so they most likely did. Doubt they would’ve committed a serious felony for a video

    4. @StupidRiceball 1. They did 3D-Print Luigi Mangione’s Ghost Gun. 2. It was legal the way they did it. Title sounds OK to me for a You Tube video.

    5. @MarkG-SF  clearly you don’t understand the tax stamp process for cans. Please don’t pretend you know what you’re attempting to refute.

  1. The government always uses gun ownership as leverage to scare that demographic into compliance, while possessing weapons and infrastructure all but immune to any of the guns in question. If a civil war broke out, the government could kill these citizens without ever giving them a chance to fire a gun in the first place. The whole thing is absurd.

  2. @17:30 technically.. meh.. depends which source you get your information. Many do not have updated statistics so you can’t prove that comment.

  3. Guns kill. Guns are made for killing. However, it requires a person with the intent to do so. The fact that a country’s government preys on social inequality and is unable to provide public security through law enforcement, while deliberately restricting and punishing law-abiding taxpayers, more than justifies the 2nd amendment. With that said, one should really treat the problem, not just the symptom. Widespread access to firearms — legal or not — in a dysfunctional society is deeply irresponsible. To be clear, this applies specifically to the U.S., as each country has its own laws, motives, societal norms, and concerns.

  4. 18:14 It’d be hilarious if the police arrested him for bringing a firearm into that police station. I’m sure the Everytown and Moms Looking for Action people would be happy.

  5. This man’s talking like they haven’t been making modern style weapons for 100+ years. Singer, union Fork & Hoe made guns during the wars. Not that terrifying or surprising.

  6. 3d printers restricting the printing of guns is going to be easily circumvented. 3D printers got popular because of a DIY movement, custom firmware is easy to make.
