That\u2019s because, 10 years ago, I had done it all before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In 2015, in a quiet backroom of WIRED\u2019s San Francisco office, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/2015\/06\/i-made-an-untraceable-ar-15-ghost-gun\/\">I made an AR-15 \u201cghost gun\u201d<\/a>\u2014a fully functioning semi-automatic rifle. Just like the Glock-style handgun I would construct in Louisiana a decade later, that rifle was a \u201cghost gun\u201d in the sense that it had no serial number and was built entirely in private, without any background check, without showing anyone ID, and without making any government agency aware of its existence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Ghost guns take advantage of a kind of loophole in US federal gun control laws: Only the central component of a firearm onto which all its other components are attached\u2014known as the lower receiver for an AR-15 or the frame for a Glock-style handgun\u2014is regulated as <em>the gun<\/em>. Make that one piece yourself at home, and you can buy the rest online in a few clicks, putting weapon components like barrels, slides, and triggers into your shopping cart without facing the slightest regulatory speed bump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">To test just how easy it was to build a ghost gun back in 2015, I made the lower receiver of an AR-15 three different ways: I 3D-printed it out of plastic; used a computer-controlled milling machine to carve one out of aluminum (or more accurately, to finish carving it, since I started with an 80 percent finished lower receiver, or \u201c80 percent lower,\u201d designed to almost\u2014but not quite\u2014meet the legal definition of that part); and even tried the more old-school technique of drilling out the same aluminum 80 percent lower with a manual drill press.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I was somewhat surprised at the time when a gunsmith I showed all three parts to warned me that my 3D-printed lower receiver wouldn\u2019t be safe to build a rifle out of. He told me to instead stick with the milled aluminum one\u2014which worked perfectly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Flash forward to last December, however, and now it seemed a homemade plastic frame had been used in a carefully premeditated murder. When police <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/archives\/opa\/pr\/luigi-mangione-charged-stalking-and-murder-unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-and-use\">arrested then 26-year-old Luigi Mangione<\/a> in an Altoona, Pennsylvania, McDonald\u2019s five days after he allegedly gunned down Brian Thompson, evidence photos of the gun found in his backpack showed a partially 3D-printed handgun with a printed silencer wrapped in hockey tape. I spoke to digital gunsmiths in the days after that revelation, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/luigi-mangione-united-healthcare-3d-printed-gun-fmda-chairmanwon-v1\/\">they identified the alleged murder<\/a> weapon specifically as a variation on a printable, Glock-style frame known as the FMDA 19.2\u2014an acronym for the libertarian slogan \u201cFree men don\u2019t ask\u201d\u2014released online by a gun-printing group called the Gatalog.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I hadn\u2019t covered 3D-printed guns for years. But now that one had allegedly been used in Brian Thompson\u2019s killing, I wanted to know: How far had the technology come over the past decade? And after 10 years of controversy surrounding these anarchic, lethal weapons, had American gun laws finally caught up with ghost guns?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I decided to find out by making a ghost gun of my own\u2014again. And as soon as I began this quest, it became immediately apparent that the answer to the second of those questions was a resounding no. Creating a ghost gun with a 3D printer in America today is not only easier and more practical than ever\u2014in most of the US, it also remains entirely legal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAlright.
