Police in Finland say they’ve stopped a far-right terror plot that would have used 3D printed weapons in an attack aimed at leading to the “collapse of society” in a race war.
The National Bureau of Investigation says their initial probe was just looking into a simple firearms offense, but they soon realised there was a bigger issue involving at least four men with links to the far-right.
Local media reports that one of the men in custody had been a municipal election candidate for the Finns Party, which is one of the four parties which makes up the Nordic nation’s coalition government.
Man. People just don’t realize how easy it is to make firearms. I’m not even talking about 3d printing. You can make a gun in a day or two with a machine shop, and it’ll be serviceable
If you don’t mind crappy guns, you can make single shot stuff in an hour or two that won’t blow up in your hands.
It’s a pretty scary rabbit hole to go into. People have used pretty simple machine shops and fairly accessible information to build small caliber automatic weapons and it didn’t even take that long. A week or two of full time work between testing and iterating. Not reliable, or safe, but certainly dangerous.
Like the guy who killed the Japanese EX PM
Exactly!
A RACE WAR? IN FINLAND? What are you going to shoot at? There’s basically only white people there: https://www.stat.fi/tup/suoluk/suoluk_vaesto_en.html#Migration
It’s a far right plot, they’d most likely label people as Jewish.
