Depends on how you look at it.
If a person buys an empty gun, and attempts to rob a bank, has he committed a crime?
I’m asking, because I don’t know the (legal) answer, but I suspect if you can prove intent, then you have proven enough.

Yes, it's a crime. He initiated every step.
This kid never bought a metaphorical gun.....the FBI handed him one.

Not only that but if the guard shoots at him and accidentally kills someone else then the attempted robber can be charged with felony murder.
