How AI Generates Creativity from Inauthenticity

Lol you can 3d print a gun in my state, stick it down your waist band, and go about your day, and you are legally good to go no law broken no paperwork needed. You could even walk in a bank with it -- As long as you don't plan on opening an account, then you need zee papers as that is too dangerous.

Also the silencer doesn't have to be made by an FFL as the article states. If you pay $200 for the tax stamp you can legally make it yourself.

I've heard that the timeline to get the stamps for suppressors is less now but it used to take sometimes a year to a year and a half to get the stamp.

It depends on what type of transfer you're doing but it's way faster now: https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/current-processing-times

It would be a form 1, there is no transfer in this case.

Not a fan of the way the headline is written The gun hasn't been proven to be his. It could've very easily been planted when the police confiscated his bag.

You're right especially since they sprinkle "allegedly" throughout the article to cover their asses already.

Whilst I agree with the issues he was concerned about, I do not support his supposed actions but he should be treated fairly, innocent until proven guilty as we all have the right to.

However, having been on juries myself (in the UK), I know for sure that the justice system is deeply flawed and juries are heavily biased and bully each other into a result. The white woman is still good, the black man is still bad. Even if they don't say it out loud.

It is almost like the legal system isn't the arbiter of objective fact (which is what journalists endeavor to report).

I don't like the direction headlines have gone in recent years but this one isn't horrible.

That is, the headline doesn't make any assertions about the (alleged) murder, simply that he owned a ghost gun.
