Today we look at a success story of sorts: A smart Texan turned in cheaply made printed guns and came away making $2800 in profit!
What is a gun? In fact, he could have rigged a ‘AR-15” type stock and called it an ‘assault weapon’ and got an extra $100.
there’s no putting the Jinn back into the bottle...
https://esun3dstore.com has great deals on 10 packs of petg filament. ~$19/spool (it just went up)
Until the ATF declares the “buyback” = the Texan “selling” manufactured firearms with intent to profit without a manufacturer’s license.
PLA+ is the preferred filament.
But, the items were not firearms, just printed material that looked like a firearm....
A firearm is a legally described item. If it doesn’t walk, talk ANF look like a duck, it isn’t.
They have that too.
In the video you sent, it said they were 3D printed guns. Chambered in .22lr. That would mean they ARE indeed firearms.
Turning them into the police to be destroyed is not “selling” them.
Fortunately the gun grabbers are phenomenally stupid, and prove what they say about a fool and his money.
A thorough inspection would be required to determine if they are actual workable. I’d guess everything was printed in the cheapest plastic thread available. Won’t quack like a duck would be my guess.

You can make guns for your own use but BY LAW those guns are NOT transferrable. The only way to make them transferrable is to get a Type 7 manufacturing license from the ATF, and follow all the same rules as the other firearms manufacturers, ... such as putting serial numbers on the guns.
And I doubt you'll see an anti-gun ATF let this opportunity pass because this guy's greater crime (in the ATF's eyes) will be depleting funds that could have been used to get real guns off the street. If they let this pass, random guys with a 3d printers will be drawn to all future gun buy-backs like flies are drawn to Hitlery Klinton's stasis ulcers and they'll spend all their buy-back bucks buying worthless plastic junk created specifically to suck up their funding.
