and after casually admitting to dragnet mass surveillance, they had the audacity to later force a redaction. see below:
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.
You're probably talking about ammonium nitrate specifically. And once you've made your explosive with it, you still need to make something to detonate it, since it's pretty stable without that; it's not like sweating dynamite.
ANFO was used to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, so the feds take that pretty seriously.
500+ rounds? Oh my heavens! He was either preparing for a mass murder or an hour at the range.
Lol and that's an arsenal, I've gifted my friends and family more firearms than that.
500+ rounds of... probably 22lr....in a Winchester range pack lol
An hour? Some weapons firing cyclic would burn through 500 rounds in less than a minute.
Some highly regulated, very expensive to buy, and rare, weapons you mean. Full automatic weapons are far from the norm on any target range.
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.
All this effort to stop someone from making their own gun but nothing to keep people from putting money in gun companies hands.
Yeah, like…there’s nothing really stopping people from buying an arsenal through guns hows and stores. Like…this almost makes no sense. I get it, there are serial numbers and tracking means with manufacturer made guns. Is that the only reason? Because I’ve seen a few people with much bigger arsenals.
Its because of the expectation of privacy. They think they know that anyone who would make a gun this way wants to do it in a way that keeps their privacy.
That is the issue they have.
Gun shows and stuff sure they know about that but they have tons of feds play dress up like normal people and go to those to phish for info. If they really want to they would check all the cameras which I would bet gold they 100% do.
But this is made for privacy and that's why they view it as a problem.
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.
You have to act chill in front of them or they can ruin your life.
Get together with like minded individuals and call them the fascist piece of shit pigs they are. But don't do it to their face or they will hunt you like prey.
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.
I agree it s way more simple to just buy directly a firearm than 3d print it.
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.
Why people hating on this? I guess the not psyop was very effective.
How many ghost guns are actually used to commit crimes, and if we stopped doing this how much would that number go up? I feel like those numbers must be tiny, since ghost guns require lots of specialized skills and knowledge.
Almost zero. This is just a scary sounding thing that they can use to justify illegal domestic spying, and the masses go "oh, good job! Get those scary ghost gun guys!"
Lmfaoooo u funny bruv.
All a "ghost gun" means is that the gun isn't registered. It's effectively the same thing as a garage gun. Also, the actual number of "ghost guns" used in crimes is stupidly small. Like not enough to matter for rounding off of 99.9% of gun crime.
As for the "specialized skills" needed to make one of these? Have you ever had a high school carpentry class, maybe a beginning into to working in a metal shop? Congrats. You now have all the special skills you need to buy, assemble, and fabricate a 100% legal slam fire shotgun out of plumbing parts.
Even making an AR is a weekend project for a motivated individual.
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.
A warrant for what crime?
i thought guns and making them is legal in the US
They are. Only manufacturers need to implement all the forensics nonsense. It's like how piracy is ok, but distributing isn't.
“One more step…”
Nothing like a privacy abusing Cloudflare site to expose privacy abuse. If anyone has openly accessible Cloudflare-free links, or can post the info for the excluded people, plz post.
Privacy is not a crime.
We all need to stop saying things like it shouldn't be a crime, it ISNT a crime and shouldn't have to be defended or proven as a right to have.
This shit is supposed be illegal for them to do like this. I guess until they passed the PATRIOT act or some other "love Americas children first" act bullshit they do.
There is nothing illegal about what the cops are doing here. Immoral? Perhaps. But not illegal.
These services are selling your purchase history to the authorities, and as a user of these services, you agreed with that as a condition of using the services.
Want privacy? Don’t use services that track and sell your data. Easier said than done, I know.

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.
Privacy is the ability for an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively.
