OH YEAH THEYRE TALKING ABOUT IT NOW
Please do not remove mods, really sorry for the Google AMP link, but this is a “subscribers only” blocked article on CNN that for some reason AMP just straight up bypasses and opens fine.

Edit 1: updated title, CNN changed it on me
As someone who ran a 3D print farm, even with the latest 3D printers, you will have a ton of trouble printing a ghost gun. The amount of infill, the type of nozzle, the heat and the materials all play a role in making a successful print.
I ran a print farm for a couple of years before closing shop during the pandemic. Even with my knowledge, I would have trouble printing a successful ghost gun.
Exactly. There’s a huge prototyping process. I would expect to make, at an absolute minimum, a dozen prototype stages. And each will take hours to print. This is not some covert process you’re doing in a hostel or homeless shelter. And even if you have access to a makerspace, they’re going to notice and immediately kick you out. No maker space wants that kind of heat on them. And you’ll also need access to a firing range that will let you test your sketchy home-made gun there. And again, no gun range wants that type of liability.
So again, I ask. Where is Luigi’s workshop? Unless you have an owned or rented space, that only you have access to, it is virtually impossible to make a ghost gun without someone finding out.
You almost need to own or rent a large piece of rural land if you want to actually do this.
