The 3DPF community often celebrates when their designs are confiscated and displayed in police evidence photos. Following reports that a firearm linked to the UnitedHealthcare CEO’s murder involved a frame by Chairmanwon, members of the community have praised the designer across various platforms.

With a quick comment from me near the bottom. Canada has always been of a weird funhouse mirror for US politics. When Americans talk about Canada, they are almost always really talking about themselves. And some Canadian far-right influencers use that for their grift.

Right-wing influencers often present a distorted version of Canada that sloshes back into the real-world, possibly shifting Canadians’ views of their own country.
