I bet that kid that got suspended for nibbling his poptart into the form of a gun could do as well.
What kind of profit do you think he turned?
I have no clue of the cost of material and programs.
Did all of the guns have the same serial number, or does the 3D printer advance that numbering as well as producing an actual weapon? I don’t know enough about 3D printing technology.
Whatever you subsidize, you get more of........................
Ghost guns have no serial number.................
It took him about 12 hours of driving and 12 hours of printing for the items which scored $21,000.
That’s a healthy profit margin then...
Not a half bad return on a $200 printer . . . though I do wonder what he paid for "toner".
That WAS him! In grade school. Dollars to donuts. Getting his revenge on effeminate, overreacting school administrators everywhere. LOL
177 Ghost guns and he accounts for 110................🤔
“Ghost guns” by anti2a crowd definition don’t have serial numbers.
Kinda what I was thinking......what did he spend to get the $21k.
The article did say the guns were printed on a $200 3D printer.
Yes. I understand there were at least two others who scored about $ 4-5 thousand.
See post 7
The classic cobra effect example...
Just how common is the use of “ghost guns” is the commission of crimes?
I’m a true crime show addict, and I can recall very few instances of a gun used in a crime not having a serial number. In all of those cases, as best I can recall, the serial number was filed off, and modern technology can usually recover that number due to the imprint in the metal going deeper than is visible to the naked eye.
I don’t know that even people like the AG believe that these programs DO anything. They’re just theater: see, we ARE trying to do something about crime. Let’s not talk about the people I let out of jail, or people I decline to prosecute. And certainly let’s not talk about the inordinate amount of time and resources I spend trying to find (or invent) trying to find something, ANYTHING, to arrest Donald Trump for!
Where did the government get the money to “buy back” guns?
110 guns are gonna require a lot of filament.
Even if he uses the cheap stuff, that’ll be a decent chunk of change.
