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.

    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!
