Nope. I’m not who you replied to, but you’re misunderstanding.
When people talk about “80 percent” in this context, they mean the firearm. For an AR, it is the lower receiver. Whether it was 3D printed has no legal bearing, federally. I could carve one out of wood or styrofoam, or fashion one from modeling clay, it doesn’t change the law.
Federally, and in most states, it is legal (for anyone who is otherwise allowed to own guns) to manufacture a firearm. Period. No paperwork, no serial number, no background check. Nada. This is how the law currently works.
The media likes to refer to these as “ghost guns” because it sounds spooky.
In California and Connecticut, it needs a serial number permanently marked on it even as an 80% lower. 13 other States also have laws which touch on this.
It is my understanding that Mangione employed an 80% pistol, so it was likely a Glock-compatible copycat.
And to clarify I don’t normally believe in vigilante justice but these people removed themselves from the justice system so why should they be protected by it?

Luigi’s issue is the non NFA registered suppressor plus all those NY gun laws he broke (in addition to the homicide).

Homicide isn’t just a legal term. See also fratricide, sororicide, patricide, matricide, suicide, regicide, etc.
