Summary

Americans are posting videos about 3D-printed guns on the Chinese video app RedNote, despite the content being illegal in China.

While some users are uncomfortable with the topic, others see it as an opportunity for cultural exchange.

The future of TikTok remains uncertain as the Supreme Court is expected to rule on the ban.

      Idk man when I was living abroad it was pretty easy to get a gun and a license for it in most places. The real difference is how long it takes to get the license — months to a year instead of a few days for the NCIS check.

      Once you have the license, ammo was easy to purchase.

        A meme anywhere in the world. Except for the US where guns are rampant.

        3D printed anything implies not needing specialized parts to create said thing.

          Heat set thread inserts are specialized parts, but in many many 3d models for printing.

          That said your point still stands, I’m just being pedantic.
