He was reported to have received only $50 per pistol, not $150.
One wonders how many people got $200 for an “automatic rifle”.
What about turning in a toy guns?
Would they also fetch $50?
How much does it cost to print a 3D gun?
Wish I had thought of doing that. Invest in a $500 3D printer, download the CAD for a pistol, print up a bunch, sell a those to the government, then use the profit to purchase a high quality CAD scanner, computer, and higher end 3D printer. Would have been able to purchase all that and still have some money left over essentially getting all a very sweet setup for free from the government.
I would think these “No questions asked gun buybacks” are a great way to dispose of a weapon that has been used in a crime or stolen.
Guns they’ve stolen from others and don’t need, because they have plenty more stolen guns.
Can I turn in a gun made out of soap?

How about some cash or a money order for my make-believe ghost gun? Gift cards are either a pain in the @$$ to use or are not accepted for really desirable purchases about half the time.
Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church eh? What about separation of church and state?
> Some estimated less than $5 worth of materials were used for the 3D printed pistols turned in.
Sounds like an outstanding opportunity for some arbitrage. Best to find out first if there aren’t some side laws about “manufacturing” firearms so that legal fees don’t eat up the profits.
I dutifully turned in a handgun I found as a young kid. It netted me $50.cash, which I turned around and used to buy a Ruger MkII from a buddy.
The pistol I turned in was a Hopkins & Allen .32, that I found when digging a hole in my folk’s back yard. Totally rusted, and inoperable, but cleaned up good enough to convince the “buyback experts”.
