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:
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.
