The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has renewed the debate over "ghost guns," according to some news reports. More accurately, the usual control freaks are using the killing as a convenient hook on which to hang their authoritarian arguments. While there's plenty to find horrifying in this crime, that alleged murderer Luigi Mangione made his weapon using a 3D printer isn't one of them, no matter that a few people see in the act an opportunity to advance restrictive legislation.
"The homemade handgun and suppressor that police say was used in last week's killing of a UnitedHealthcare executive is intensifying the debate over the growing presence of such firearms in the U.S.," Cameron McWhirter, Jacob Gershman, and John West reported for The Wall Street Journal.
