Comment on Why 3D-Printing an Untraceable Ghost Gun Is Easier Than Ever (Podcast 18mins)

  The only regulated parts (I know of) are:

  • receiver (considered the actual gun)
  • suppressors
  • autosears (or anything else that makes your gun fully automatic, or even act like it)
  • big magazines (not federal but a lot of states have laws on em’)

    autosears

    Autosears themselves are not actually regulated. It’s the action of fully automatic fire that is. Which is kind of ridiculous because it’s not terribly uncommon to have a gun do it by accident on worn out parts.

    Wild. I suppose, thinking about it, it’s also way quicker to iterate on, test, and improve too.

  Yeah, you can’t easily print an entire gun, but the parts you buy don’t necessarily tie you to the gun.

  The components are traceable either. They don’t have serial numbers on them. Typically only the lower receiver does. This is why that’s the part that’s typically 3D-printed.

  Which is obviously why you buy them with Monero instead.
