Good day all. One of the brilliant ideas that the Progressive liberal Moonbat class has regarding firearms are something they like to call \u201cGun By Backs.\u201d Recently, there was one of these buy backs in Houston, Texas. It didn\u2019t go exactly as expected.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The buy back was done a couple of weeks ago under the auspices of the city\u2019s Progressive Liberal Democratic Communazi mayor. People who turned in guns would get a gift card valued between $50-$250 per gun. It seems some enterprising individual found a loophole in the program and expolited it to the max. Here are the details from Townhall<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Houston’s Democrat Mayor Sylvester Turner held a gun buyback event in a church parking lot where residents could turn in their firearms and receive a gift card ranging from $50 to $200 with no questions asked. According to the Mayor’s announcement<\/a>, the funds provided to those turning in firearms came from the American Rescue Plan \u2014 aka American taxpayers \u2014 and the amount-per-firearm was $50.00 for a non-functioning firearm, $100.00 for a rifle or shotgun, $150.00 for a handgun, and $200.00 for a fully automatic rifle.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

What a moment. $200 for a fully automatic rifle? As in, machine gun? Those firearms are heavily regulated and are collectors items. They generally start in the 5 figure range. If someone turned in a full automatic M-16 or AK-47, then it was either stolen or had been smuggled into the United States. However, it doesn\u2019t look like anyone turned such an item in.<\/p>\n

Heralded as a success by the mayor and hyped up by the liberal Houston Chronicle, the event on Saturday saw 845 guns bought back and some $100,000 in gift card payments given. But the alleged success isn’t exactly what it seems.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The FAQ section for the buyback noted that there’s no limit on the number of firearms that could be turned in by an individual, nor was there any restriction on the types of handguns, as long as they’re functioning. Enter some creative and apparently entrepreneurial individuals who saw an opening and decided to make some extra cash. <\/b><\/p>\n

And just what did the entrepreneurial individuals do?<\/p>\n

One man showed up to the buyback with dozens of 3D-printed firearms, and Houston authorities had no choice but to accept them and hand over gift cards in return. The real kicker: it only cost the man $3 to print each firearm, of which he made 62, and received $50 per 3D-printed gun for a total of nearly $3,000 in gift cards.<\/b><\/p>\n
