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.

The mayor of Houston, Turner, has said they will not accept 3D printed "ghost guns" at the next big gun turn-in.

These turn-in events are funded by part of the 1.6 Trillion dollar spending binge the Biden administration pushed through in 2021.

From what I understand about 3-D printers, the pistols would have the "form" of a gun (just a plastic exterior, like a toy) but not the function.

The government is really stupid to buy such things. But nothing ever stops them from foolishly spending taxpayer's money.
