Offline some occupations also have a duty to report.
If someone buys large amounts of a certain fertilizer and the store owner don’t recall them being a local farmer. And it has to be that type specifically and not one of the other fertilizer types recommended. Its considered a red flag, and i think in such cases its fair
Thats no excuse for how little police respects privacy online at all. But you can see how its the same idea recycled.
There is a big difference between someone printing a gun and building an actual bomb.
There is a big difference between someone printing a gun and building an actual bomb.
Imo, only if the bomb is passively a threat to others.
Agree on the sentiment. But the bomb i meant is a different scale. if recreational or scientific explosives are what you want are you really going to do so using an actual truckload of industrial fertilizer? Most people don’t have that kind of pocket money to burn either.
Having done some research the most famous bombing using fertilizer was the Oklahoma city bombing in 95. Which used about 5000 pounds of fertilizer and resulted in the death of over 150 people. Over 600 injured.
A farmer may need more then 10 times that amount annually. So for them this is a normal purchase.
But if your not a farmer, requesting such amounts. It should be standard to at least show your Mythbusters member card instead or something.
500+ rounds? Oh my heavens! He was either preparing for a mass murder or an hour at the range.
An hour? Some weapons firing cyclic would burn through 500 rounds in less than a minute.
Assuming a 500 rd mag and the fastest trigger pull in the west, sure. 99% of people won’t be able to burn 500 in a minute
Cyclic implies automatic fire so really only one pull of the trigger.
Some highly regulated, very expensive to buy, and rare, weapons you mean. Full automatic weapons are far from the norm on any target range.
We’re in a thread with guys building ghost guns. You realize how easy it is to build an automatic ghost gun instead of a semi auto? One part built differently, that’s it.
As a retired toolmaker - yes, yes I do. And a whole lot better than you. And I actually posses the tools, skills, knowledge required to manufacture a firearm completely from scratch - a lathe, mill, drill press and even a 3D printer. I suppose technically, I’ve built several “ghost guns” myself over the years. I sourced all the parts individually, including a stock blank, fitted them all together and built a fully functional firearm. They were all muzzle loading rifles, but they were real firearms. There is a vibrant, though niche industry, that caters to us “mountain folk” and our desire to touch the history. It was a truly fun and educational process that gave some real pride of craftsmanship in the end product.
The point still stands - full auto weapons are very uncommon, legal or otherwise, in public hands and you for sure won’t ever see such a thing as a full auto ghost gun on a public target range. Even cops don’t get to own full auto weapons in the US. At least not without jumping through some very, very, very difficult and expensive hoops that pretty much make it impossible.
Public target range…ghost gun.
Do you really think someone is bringing a ghost gun to a public range? The whole point is so no one knows you have that gun.
Your quote was :Some highly regulated, very expensive to buy, and rare weapons.
Ghost guns aren’t any of those things. So if i build a ghost gun and drop an automatic firing pin in that bad boy i could have a gun that shoots 500 rounds cyclic.
The firing pin doesn’t matter. You need a special bolt and trigger assembly. Not the easiest thing to come by. Nor the hardest.
My neighbor cop is friends with the persons that owns the Amazon and FedEx local delivery companies.
Because of that friendship and me calling him a fascist they open my deliveries all the time for him.
When I accused him of it he told me to prove it.
Fucking fascists.
Time to buy some anthrax, I say
Nah. Don’t hurt the guy in the post office just following orders.
Cash.
Monero
I dont get the hate on monero is a super privacy effective currency
I don’t get how a currency can be taken seriously when it’s value can swing 25% in a month
A lot of actual state currency could swing more than 25% in a month. And the privacy that monero offer is a viable argument when you don’t want to expose what you do to the all world.
Some people live their life by sound bites. They’ve been told crypto is bad, and a lot of crypto is, so they just downvote anything along those lines.
We are in a privacy community, talking about ways to buy things privately, using private digital money. The down voters have no replacement no alternative suggestion no way to do things privately other than stop doing things. It’s not productive, and if they do believe in privacy, it’s contrary to their goals.
For the people who are about to down vote me, please respond to this comment, and tell me how do you buy things online privately?
So far 6 downvotes and not ONE of them has a response. That’s cowardice

I don’t understand how people are buying Monero or how it is possible to spend it. Who is selling 3D printers and gun parts for Monero without shipping it that this guy would have been able to get away with?
There are several ways to buy it:
xmrbazaar.com Username: beta Password: tester click “Earn XMR”
Or if you already have 0.11XMR Haveno DEX
Or if you have another crypto Trocador (keep it under 1k USD and “A” or “B” rated to get insurance.
As for if anybody is selling 3D printed gun parts. I’m not sure.
Well the thing is, you buy the printer and print the parts. Then you buy things like a barrel, internals, magazines, sights, etc.
The most ridiculous part of this? You can just buy an 80% Glock or ar lower receiver. It takes minimal googling to learn how to finish that last 20%. In some cases it comes with a jig and instructions. So, Tracking 3d printers is fucking absurd. The amount of people buying a 3d printer solely for the purpose of constructing a firearm is minuscule. And of those, most are hobbyists.
This is specific to New York, which has banned making your own firearms. In the state I live in, there would be absolutely nothing illegal about buying 80% parts and building my own firearms. Or, if I really hated myself, buying a benchtop CNC mill, and trying to make a functioning 2011.
Tracking the sale of certain classes of items and having reams of data is obviously a huge problem; the only way to correct it would be to enact privacy laws that forbade companies from selling or sharing data with any gov’t agency without a warrant, and then limiting the warrant to a single person’s transactions.
Yeah I figured that NY must have made 80% parts illegal based on the context of this whole case.
I agree it s way more simple to just buy directly a firearm than 3d print it.
Right, sorry if my lingo made the point unclear. An 80% frame or receiver is legally NOT a firearm and when completed won’t have a serial and is also a ghost gun. My point was that the 3d printer as a flag for them to start to investigate is absolutely ridiculous.
Why people hating on this? I guess the not psyop was very effective.
So buy components and don’t use social media.
Got it.
Ship them to friends houses but ones that also don’t use social media or even if they do they just got one part.
Privacy is not a crime. And they should not be allowed to surveil our day to day like this to get warrants, the warrants are supposed to come first. Or rather, used to.
Indeed. Sadly we live in strange times. First, Second, and Fourth Amendments always under attack.
You do realize you’re in a privacy sub right?
I realize that a gun nut had his guns taken 😘
One down, another million or so assholes, give or take, to go
Last year’s estimate was around 83 million owners. Join us.
Ha ha no
I don’t live my life in fear
Sounds like you live in fear of gun owners 😝
You’re so close to a realization, perhaps even an epiphany.
If you’re in fear of 83 million Americans, or about 25% of the population, you should seek therapy.
While your there, I hope you reflect on Marx’s quote, “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.”
So your name goes onto a list because you buy a 3d printer? This is some bullshit!
Get it shipped to relatives/friends or only buy stuff like that during holidays.
I’d rather push back against all of this illegal surveillance and regain our privacy. But since most people don’t seem to care or understand why privacy is important, that’s unlikely to happen. It’s especially pronounced with the younger generations since they’ve never had any privacy, so they don’t even understand what has been taken from them.

This is a peer-to-peer platform that uses Monero as its currency in order to protect financial privacy. It also has a non-custodial escrow system so that both buyer and seller are sure the money is actually there.
thanks for sharing, Monero is the way.
Yo thats cool would be nice if this could operate in a federated manner. Would give it the robustness to withstand the alphabet bois.
There was at one point a couple of years ago a system called Open Bazaar which I think could be forked and brought back to life that could do something like this.
Dude I pray everyday that someone will re open it. Such an amazing technology that was extremely under appreciated
They kind of made all the wrong mistakes though. First of all, it was just too early for decentralized markets to really take off. Second of all, it was after the Bitcoin block size wars and they chose Bitcoin anyway, and third, they used venture capital funding. I think if somebody redid it with Monero and community funding instead of venture capital, it might actually work.
