    Yes. I am actually surprised we haven’t seen a major terrorist attack in a western country using remote controlled or autonomous drones for example. The technology has been available for years now.

    3D printed home made guns like the FGC-9 and Urutau have been around for a while now, but remain marginal in gun crime.

    As you say, the cat is out the bag and on the internet forever. However homemade guns and instructions on how to make them have been around for decades.

      Most western terrorist attacks are by opportunistic losers who don’t have the knowledge or motivation to do something like this.

      They’d rather drive a car into people who make them angry and use a gun they already own.

      As for organized groups until recently there have been any good reason for an attack from any centrally organized group.

      Ukraine and Russia are western countries. Narco cartels have started using fpv drones, too.
