He did not sell them. He turned them in to the police for destruction.
Big difference.
I doubt he turned in a functional 3D gun, as he received $50 each for non-functional guns. I downloaded the Liberator software before it was banned, and can print it but have not done so. If I do print it, I wouldn't trust it to hold up after a few shots. Depends on the filament in use; I would probably use high-strength nylon or carbon-fiber filament, which I print for high-strength applications. ABS or PLA breaks too easily.
On Bluebloods show they said people bring in unusable weapons all day and get money for them. And the long lost actual murder weapon in their open case was not allowable in court as it was supposed to be “no questions asked” and not found with a judge’s warrant.
I’d bet big big money there was not ONE FULLY auto rifle there.
Might lose it eventually...Hope he does.
Might teach him a lesson....
LOL!!!
The man in Houston had no intention of selling them and they were not sold.
The police do not own or have transferred to them any of the guns at a “buy back.” They are donated guns and the gift cards are donated back.
The police department doesn’t own the guns. They are caretakers until the guns are destroyed.
Exactly.
Damn, I missed it. I have an old Italian saturday night special .22. The mag is broken and I can’t get a replacement.
I will have to keep an eye out for the next one.
Ummm, your information is a bit dated.

So the guy who manufactured and sold these ghost guns committed at least two crimes and the mayor’s agent at the buy-back committed at least one.
LOL. So, he 'broke' two separate unconstitutional laws? I think the entire project was brilliant on his part!
Springs, barrels and other hardened parts are made of STEEL alloy. Look up steel making. Show me a 3D printer that can produce steel parts.
Well, they gotta pay the tax, ya know.
“Might teach him a lesson....”
Follow, don’t lead ...
Springs can be made from plastic. Other steel parts can be made by using casting in lost plastic molds. Higher strength carbon fiber filaments can be used in some situations to replace steel parts.
I have no idea why you sent photos of making steel. The discussion was about making steel PARTS!
In direct response top your request to show a 3d printer that can produce steel parts
Double that he duped a democrat Mayor.
