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.
“The goal was not personal profit, but to send Houston leaders a message about spending $1 million tax dollars on something that has no evidence of any effect on crime,” the man said.
