Is it really a "3d printed gun" when like all of the internals and the barrel are the real thing?
Also on a related note you can straight-up buy silencers on Amazon now for $45 so that's interesting.

Crackersmack - 2021-09-17 Yeah obviously it avoids buying a receiver and the corresponding background check if you do it through a dealer, but I think a lot of these stories are sensationalized to make normies think "omg people can just print a secret gun entirely out of plastic and then murder somebody with it" when reality is that it's way, way easier to get a real gun without going "on record" from a private seller.
The silencers on Amazon are complete except for the hole in the end cap, which they have conveniently put a center mark in to make drilling extra-easy. Owning one is definitely "constructive possession" though, these things clearly imitate the baffles found inside actual suppressors and they have no real function as a "oil filter" which is what they are listed as. It makes me wonder wtf is happening at the BATF.
