One man showed up to the buyback with dozens of 3D-printed firearms, and Houston authorities had no choice but to accept them and hand over gift cards in return. The real kicker: it only cost the man $3 to print each firearm, of which he made 62, and received $50 per 3D-printed gun for a total of nearly $3,000 in gift cards.
Houston Mayor @SylvesterTurner claims that the event was successful and that criminals sell their guns at buybacks “..because for them, at that point and time, they may need $50 for whatever reason. Criminals don’t always think things through.” pic.twitter.com/lh0daSvQ5B
