TL;DR

Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old software engineer, was arrested for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly using a 3D-printed 'ghost gun' that lacks a serial number, making it difficult to trace. This case highlights the growing issue of untraceable firearms, which have become more common at crime scenes due to the accessibility of 3D printing technology. Despite recent regulatory efforts to curb the proliferation of ghost guns, their use in crimes remains a significant challenge for law enforcement.
