The thing that gets me is the “ghost gun” they found on him doesn’t look like a 3D printed gun according to the pictures that were released. It looks like a typical factory manufactured pistol with a metal slide and a metal barrel. Both machined. He would have spent a lot of needless time adding this much detail to the gun, like the grips on the machined metal slide. Why put so much effort into something like that?
Everything on that gun looks highly machined. This isn’t what you would expect from a home brewed 3D printed gun.
Now it could be they just took a random gun and photoed it to make the media happy and didn’t want to show the actual gun. But it’s odd.
"3d printed guns" aren't all homebrew. Usually with guns you can just buy literally every part except for a certain part that's serialized and legally considered to be "the gun" (ship of Theseus style; any other part can be replaced and it's the same gun, but if that one's different it's a different gun)
It's pretty trivial to print only that part and buy the rest. Also completely legal in many states, here's a website with a bunch of examples:

This is new to me. Got a link to the photos of the supposed murder weapon?
