Moments after Luigi Mangione was handcuffed at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, a police officer searching his backpack found a loaded gun magazine wrapped in a pair of underwear.

The discovery, recounted in court Monday as Mangione fights to keep evidence out of his New York murder case, convinced police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that he was the man wanted in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan five days earlier.

      My point was ghost guns shouldn’t directly be associated with criminal activity. Normal everyday people use them for lawful purposes too. I have a few since they are cheap and fun to make.

        I mean, after 2023 its actually is illegal to own a ghost gun. So lawful citizens won’t be making one and anyone making a ghost gun is automatically a criminal because of the criminal activity.
