On today’s episode of Uncanny Valley, we discuss how WIRED was able to legally 3D-print the same gun allegedly used by Luigi Mangione, and where US law stands on the technology.

Unless you keep the gun I guess.
How do you mean? You 3D print something with no serial and it’s untraceable. Even if they find it they can’t definitively say your firearm shot the bullets. Unless of course you’re on video doing it and admit to it.
In the age of AI deepfakes, I don’t even think that’s conclusive enough.
gotta count how many fingers it took to pull the trigger
Haha it’s better than that now. You have to see them eating.
never forget will smith spaghetti
Haha you’ll know you’re old when people don’t get the reference
that’s one i genuinely wonder about though. it was the embarrassing early years of generative ml. will it care to keep it for us? eww, i just got those terminator chills again
Depends if next gen AI has a sense of humor
For real

Something tells me not doing that part is going to be harder for a significant portion of today’s population than getting a weapon.
That’s true
Didn’t Luigi get caught with the weapon in his backpack? The title picture on this article is literally him. If it’s untraceable by printing, it seems you’d want to not have it on you if apprehended.
Factually, they illegally searched his bag without a warrant at the mcdonald’s, repacked the bag, put the bag in a police vehicle and drove to the police station without bodycam, and then turned bodycam back on to search the bag again and instantly “find” the ghost gun in his bag, which, without a serial number, is conveniently impossible to prove it was not planted.

Common plan for professional hitman is to drop the gun at or near the scene. With a ghost gun what could tgey trace back
Yeah but they have video of him too. Idk the case well enough but I assume the gun itself wasn’t enough to prove he did it.
when you fire a gun scratches are left on the bullet that are enough of a unique fingerprint to trace to the gun.
Forensic “science” like bullet marking analysis is actually pseudo-science and is not supported by peer reviewed scientific evidence or study. https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.302.5651.1625
Yeah but is each 9mm unique from the next?
