Gun buy back + 3D printer = over 20 grand in pocket.

candcallen · Oct 2, 2022

I love this story. NY had a gun buy back so a guy took his 300 dollar 3D printer and printed up a crap load of useless guns and turned them in for over 20 grand in cash cards. I wonder if they will try to prosecute him or cancel the cards or screw him some other way down the road.

Man says he was paid $21,000 for trading in 3D-printed guns at government buyback event, New York attorney general responds

Houston has changed the rules. No more multiple "ghost gun" turn-ins will be allowed.

This guy is either really stupid, or has a massive pair of brass balls to attempt something like this. He took 60 3D printed "Yankee Boogles" (AR autosears) to a gun buyback in NY and walked away with $21,000.

New York Attorney General Leticia James claims last month’s Utica gun “buy back” was a massive success, with 296 guns being turned in to police.

I imagine neither the police, or the state government were too happy. :green:

Yeah, I applaud him for his entrepreneurship, but the risk was sky high carrying around 60 unregistered devices that they could easily prove were created by him...

Should have a plot twist - he uses the 21k to buy more and better 3D printers and starts mass producing stuff, including the forbidden goodies totally off the books and arms up "Le Resistance" :roflfunny:

I don't think they ever have that many gift cards. If they did something wasn't right.

Read the article, they didn't. It caused them to have to scramble for more, including calling off duty officers to go buy more. :roflsmile:

The police department had promised amnesty for the devices turned in.

True, I think most of these events are "no questions asked".

Such an action by an atf agent would be the death of the liberal's gun buybacks.
