That was quick.
Yesterday, I — with some glee — noted that an enterprising soul turned in 62 3D-printed “ghost guns” to a Houston “buyback.” At the time, it was being reported they went for $150 a pop.
The smart fella responsible says that he actually got just fifty bucks apiece. But they only cost him three dollar each to produce. Well worth the investment, at a $2,914 net.
No more.
Man claims to have sold dozens of ‘ghost guns’ at Houston gun buyback event
Houston leaders say they will no longer accept 3D-printed firearms, also known as ghost guns, at future gun buyback events after one man allegedly exchanged dozens of them over the weekend.“We’re going to exclude those next time around,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “This is a program designed for people who want to voluntarily relinquish their guns.”
He made them look like idiots. But rather than discontinue a useless program that wastes taxpayer money, they just won’t accept “ghost guns” anymore.
Remember this next time some victim-disarmer whines about homemade guns being an existential threat to something or other.
They don’t really see them as much of a threat at all; not even worth what they’d pay for a broken, nonfunctional gun.
