Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc for the Friday news roundup: Daniel Penny verdict, BLM New York founder, the fall of Assad in Syria, and the Liz Cheney files.
Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox are coming to Washington, D.C. with many Johnny Inkslingers
In a year or so we will be able to take our grandchildren as Trump returns Washington, D. C. the Nation’s Capitol , rather than the national disgrace Biden and the Demolitioncrats have turned our beloved Capital City into.
Just a clarification regarding Mangione and his 3D printer, Victor, good 3D printers can be had for a couple hundred bucks. They have become quite reasonable and very popular among my fellow scale modelers. People can make improved parts for kits, or additional parts for super-detailing an off-the-shelf kit.
It’s also not necessary to buy one, to access one. There are centers for working with digital technology and education, called Fab Labs, that make such technology available to the average person. They are often affiliated with local colleges or universities. We have one here in Bethlehem, PA, that is affiliated with our county’s community college. It has a 3D drafting and printing lab, available to students taking courses, and to anyone else who enrolls and pays the fee. It’s sponsored by a local company that uses 3D-printing to make medical prosthetics for people who have lost limbs.
Not to say Mangione didn’t have a printer that cost a couple thousand dollars, because apparently he could have afforded it. But he may have had a decent printer for less.
Possible but not likely, given other facts, especially that he is a techie, and has the money. I can see that he would rather have printed it himself, and he can afford to.

In 1964, at he age of 28, I spent 9 months in the Saharan/Libyan Desert. I had heat stroke, heat exhaustion,& Amoebic Dysentery which lasted for 24 months. Had I not been in top shape I don’t think I would have made it-Greek and Egyptcian doctors using 1930s technology

I would not be surprised if he just bought the gun on the street..
