Why 3D Printing an Untraceable ‘Ghost Gun’ is Easier Than Ever
Manage episode 484108710 series 1670773
WIRED’s Senior Writer, Andy Greenberg, has been reporting on ghost guns for years. He first used a 3D printer to assemble a gun more than a decade ago, and says that today’s process is not only faster, but cheaper. We talk to Andy about how he legally printed the same gun Luigi Mangione allegedly used in the alleged killing of the United Healthcare CEO last year, and whether US law is keeping up with the technology of 3D printed guns.
Articles mentioned in this episode:
- We Made Luigi Mangione’s 3D-Printed Gun—and Fired It
- Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet
- The Delirious, Violent, Impossible True Story of the Zizians
