Read it again, but slower.

3D printed ghost guns are easier to get passed metal detectors.

But what is a passed metal detector, and how does a plastic pipe gun get one?🤔

It’s not the reading speed that’s an issue…

Last I looked into them they were entirely 3D printed except for a roofing nail to act as the firing pin. The drastic reduction in metal makes them easier to sneak passed metal detectors.

When did you last “look into them” where plastic barrels were a thing?

Like, there’s a bunch more that’s wrong with your statement, I have no interest in trying to help you understand.

I just want to know where you heard such ridiculous busllshit.

Fucking hell.

There’s video of him allegedly shooting the CEO you think that’s what he was rocking?

Honestly, I don’t care, this or anything in the future would be a waste of time, have a nice life.
