Printing is actually stupid easy now. I was waiting to get into it until the costs came down and ease of use was acceptable and we just entered that era. I haven’t printed any guns because it’s illegal under state law and therefore an unnecessary risk, but I believe that I have the right to do so since privately made firearms are a well documented practice in history and tradition. Hopefully the courts agree some day, but in the meantime I’m saving a ton of money on all sorts of other tools and accessories.

You really can just drop in a file and get good results, but it does require a bit of experimenting in order to get the filament, temperatures, and supports dialed in. I figured it out with the help of online videos and there are huge repositories of designs so knowledge of cad is no barrier at first.

The reason I question why Luigi would bother to design his own gun is because there are so many designs out there where the r&d has already been done and the shopping list included in the notes. It makes no sense to reinvent the wheel, and requires a lot more knowledge than “basic cad” as he stated.

I’m getting the feeling that the war on printing is here, not only because it cuts into corporate profits but also tax revenues. I can make a full set of magpul furniture and tweak it any way I want for a pocketful of change without contributing anything to Matson, Da Rail, or HPD’s robot dog fund and I’m pretty sure our state government is threatened by that concept.

to my untrained eye, Luigi's pistol, the frame is one of those incomplete frames you used to be able to buy maybe 5 years ago, now severely curtailed, plain illegal here in Aloha Spirit Hawaii Nei.  Identifiable by the styling cues by the take-down latch, etc.  They used to be very popular before govt decided too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

I'm sure the styling cues could be programmed in 3D printing, but why bother with the cosmetics, just more lines of code to write.

Or he had someone else 3d print it for him.

The guy seems to be enjoying his "celebrity" status.  Hope he goes to prison so he can really appreciate his "celebrity" status.

Yes, he will be the center of attention of all the inmates.  More than he will ever know or want.

For a situtation like this, if not the inmate, maybe their family was affected by denied coverage. So he might be OK.

The McDonalds employee called the wrong number for the reward. She called 911 and not the other number. But, it still has to go thru the lengthy review process and a conviction. So ETA at best probably a year.  But she would have to split it with the 2 other customers who were jokinly saying that the guy looks like the shooter, which prompt'd her to call 911.

She also no longer is able to come to work due to all the hate that location is getting. In all, sounds like a bad move on her part. Wait till her name is released on social media.

if someone walks up to you in a casino and tells you, "I think that Mega Bucks macine is going to hit soon," and you win $30M playing it, are you supposed to split the winnings with them?

The 2 joking in the McDonalds might have called the employee's attention to the guy, but neither of those 2 took the initiative to report it.  I don't think she should have to split any reward with them.  She made the call -- not them.  You might as well be arguing she owes the person who put her on the schedule that day, too.  Not everyone who made the capture possible gets to share in the reward.  Only the person who alerted police should get it.  That's my opinion.

Even if she called 911, she should get the reward/s.  Had she been more focused on getting the reward vs. capturing the guy, he might have left and gotten away before anyone was dispatched to the restaurant.  She made the right "call" -- getting police there ASAP before the 2 joking about his resemblance made the guy nervous enough to leave.

I agree that the 2 joking shouldn't get any part,but the news reported that they will if it goes thru.  I also agree that 911 or any like call should be allowed and not scrutinized.

Why is she getting hate? Genuinely curious, and have not read coverage.

So can’t work at McD’s anymore. Good. I bet or hope she gets something better. As long as it’s not come grand, “The Shooter” level conspiracy.

And down the rabbit hole we go...

I assume the hate is from Liberals, the same ones celebrating the assassination -- just like they celebrated and were disappointed at the failed attempt on Trump.

The comments on Yelp and X basically call the employee a rat, as if it was her duty to protect this alleged killer instead of assisting law enforcement.

I've seen reports there were fingerprints recovered on at least one water bottle near the shooting that had this person's prints.  He also had the same fake ID used to check into that hostel.  Some of the elements of a crime include means and opportunity.  Being there at that time is opportunity.  They think they recovered the firearm used in the guy's possession.  Still waiting on a ballistics match, but that is pointing to means.

I don't care about the photo.  People are making the assumption the earlier picture is of the assassin.  What if there was another guy at that hostel who resembled the shooter?  And, what if the resemblance was enough to identify the actual assassin at McD's?  Maybe it's just bad luck on his part his doppelgänger was staying at the same place he was, but the double wasn't being as careful not to have his photo taken?

Stranger things have happened.

There are a lot of people who support what Luigi did.

I was wondering what sort of program the deep state was going to salt the earth with on their way out. Now that the WW3 op is starting to fizzle it looks like they are trying to start a violent insurgency.

Ahh. . . wonder that is the logic (of lack thereof) of that liberal line of thinking.  I would think that liberals would be all over the type of almost socialistic type of medical industry approach.  Which (I assume) was borne out of crap like Obamacare. 

And not even getting into or looking into the conspiracy parts.  Leaving that up to the forum's premier SME on tinfoil. . .

I wonder if folks like rhayder support. . . maybe it. . . oh nvm

Why.

Amanda G, who donated $10, wrote, "As someone who has lost abilities and opportunities due to medical issues, I support Luigi 100%! People are stripped of voices and failed by systems meant to support us. From the bottom of my heart, thank you."

She must watch The View. . .

As if the murder of a CEO of a Healthcare system will fix the problems of being denied care.

That Amanda lady gave $10 and even thanked the murderer.

What has this world come to.

Many have learned that the system is not fair.  That sometimes you do get a bum deal out of life.  Having someone else to blame for your problems, self-inflicted or not, has become a US past time.  "I can't buy a house because of my student loans. The government needs to forgive (repay) my debt because blah blah someone else blah blah was lied to blah blah said my degree in Gender Studies would get me a giant salary."

What I find funny is all the people donating because they applaud what he did.  The punch line is how adamant he and his lawyers are that he didn't do it.

imagine if he wins the case or the charges are dropped.  Will the donors have the self awareness to see that they may not have gotten a guilty assassin they admire off?  Instead, they may have helped free an innocent man who did absolutely nothing to earn their respect.   

This will be interesting.   

Yup. Definitely has that BLM/Antifa fed-stroturf feel to it now. Here we go again.
