Dude made almost 3 grand in profit once costs were subtracted.
Seriously though. A lot of gun buybacks are done with the caveat of No Questions asked. As in they won’t ask how or where you obtained it. You show up and they fork over the cash.
Meaning. Unless they go to the effort of actually inspecting/testing the Fire Arms. Which I honestly wouldn’t expect they would. It’s more then likely most of what they were “buying back” was either stolen or used in a crime.
And since the next stop is either destruction or sitting in a warehouse/Safe for an indefinite period in legal limbo waiting for the city to actually get around to destroying then.
Makes it that much hard to prove any crime took place.
in another city about a year and a half ago another guy sold 7 or 12 "freedom sticks", essentially homemade pipe shotguns, to the city after demonstrating that they were functional.
why would a Texas city need a buyback program? I thought guns were legal in Texas. unless they are providing an out to ditch guns already tied to crimes...
62 at $50 a piece = $3,100
Claimed cost to print was $3

You are obviously a newbie in this realm.
There are different classifications of firearm to be bought back... he submitted "firearm, not working".
You can literally strap a piece of closed ended pipe with a nail in the end, strapped to a piece of wood, in this category.
With the cost of hardware today, his way was cheapest. If you already have a 3d printer.
Sweet. What kind of 3D printer did he use. It might be a great investment, especially if the Communists in Houston are giving money away.

Any kind, he submitted under, "Firearm, not working" or non-functional.
If you were actually building to fire, my couple years old knowledge (might be diff now), remembers a filament 3d printer with reinforced filament.

It's Harris County specifically. The d-bag d-rat DA, Kim Ogg, won't prosecute a damn thing. And crime of all types is skyrocketing.
They blame guns when they all know it's their own lack of enforcement.
What do "they" do with the guns?
