The Supreme Court is reinstating a regulation aimed at reining in the proliferation of ghost guns, firearms without serial numbers that have been turning up at crime scenes across the nation in increasing numbers.

People were making their own firearms for over a century before 3D printers were a thing, just saying.
But it used to take skill, and lots of expensive equipment. Now anyone can do it for not very much money.
Depends on what you make, any idiot can build a pipegun and a lot of those “simple” 3D printed guns actually take some skill to put together. Never mind the skill to build, maintain, and sucessfully use a 3D printer.
It still takes a lot of time and effort for something that would underperform something kludged together from hardware store parts. The only real benefit of printing it is that it won’t set off a metal detector
The bullets you have to use to fire one will 100% set off a metal detector though, never mind that these devices themselves are terrible, often unreliable, and potentially dangerous to the user.
Yep, though it would probably be easier to smuggle bullets around a metal detector than a gun. Though honestly it would probably be easier to kill someone by hand. I told a friend about how I’ve printing as a hobby and his first question was “can you print me a gun?” Bruh
Print him a rubber band gun lol, they’re relatively easy to print. I think there are some nerf dart gun designs out there too.
Oh yeah diy nerf guns have come so far, they’re really crazy. I really want to design a low power rubber band powered single shot pistol, something you could print and build without a trip to the hardware store.
There are a bunch of 100% printable designs and remixes for rubber band guns, some of them are very cool. You should check them out for inspiration!
