If a person buys an empty gun, and attempts to rob a bank, has he committed a crime?

Yes, it's a crime. He initiated every step.

This kid never bought a metaphorical gun.....the FBI handed him one.

Take it step further....

If a person willingly receives the empty gun (and doesn’t buy it), that’s what makes it different?

I came into the segment halfway through, but I don’t recall hearing that the FBI coerced the (hopeful) terrorist.
