There have been several such stories in Texas, South Carolina, and New York (state) this summer. 3D printer owners independently printed guns at home and sent them to a buyback program to earn money.

What’s going on

I know that in Utica, New York, Houston, Texas, and Spartanburg, South Carolina, 3D-printed guns are being offered to gun buyback programs.
– says Robert Svenschkowski, deputy sheriff of Oneida County in New York.

A man who introduces himself simply as Cam has accepted over 100 guns to 3D print to donate to New York State’s gun buyback program. For his efforts, he received $21,000, which was paid to him with $500 gift cards.

The New York State Attorney General’s Office has confirmed that a person known as Cam actually used the program. Robert Svenschkowski, who is also a professor at the University of Utica, No one knows what to do with this gap, which is also used in other parts of the country.

According to the deputy sheriff, people like Cam should be prosecuted for fraud, but he now accepts without asking too many questions that changing the terms of the employee buyback program could affect its effectiveness.
