  CA doesn’t control the Internet Plus he had none of that content on his channel save for one video on the history of printed guns which got him dinged just over a year ago and he removed it

  What is a ghost gun?

  • ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Ghost guns are unregulated firearms that anyone — including minors and prohibited purchasers — can buy and build without a background check.

    3D printed guns fall solidly into this category.

      The 1968 Firearms Act encased in law the right to make your own firearms and made it illegal to sell them So, Printed or Milled it was always illegal to sell legally made homemade firearms

      Why are these an issue though? It is not like people can just print the ammunition too. So they can only buy them with a gun license anyways.

        Reloading ammunition is a thing. In fact, it’s preferable.

      I’m not a lawyer, but what I heard is 3d guns somehow does not fall under definition of firearm in US.

        A couple of things regarding this:

        Federally there is no law that says you can’t print and carry your own gun, no serial number required.

        However several states have strict laws and there are weird caveats. It has to be for personal use, cannot be sold or transferred and under the Undetectable Firearms Act any firearm that cannot be detected by a metal detector is illegal to manufacture, so legal designs for firearms such as 3d printed guns require a metal plate to be inserted into the printed body. Also online posting of plans for 3D-printed firearms require a license under the Export Administration Regulations issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security.

        So if you design your own gun, or get one from a company that has an export license, print it and then ensure that it has enough metal in it to be detectable… Go for it, should be legal.

    Guns without a serial number. They are untraceable.

  How long before that heads to the supreme court?

  Sounds about right, I remember watching his content on that regards awhile ago when I was interested in the topic, before my state made them illegal that is.

  Basically if you wanna operate a company hosted on servers in a specific place you’re going to have to abide by the laws of that place. Or if you want the ability to do business in a specific place you’ll need to abide by their laws even if you’re not from that place.

  3D Print General had one video where I recognized an AR-15 lower being printed in the background. The voice over was on the printer or filament (I forget).

  Hoffman Tactical is still on YouTube. I was made aware of this channel when researching CF Nylon. HT has several promotional videos of his 80% printed AR rifle, and long discussions about which filament to use for which part of a rifle.

  It’s very inconsistent.
