Democrats love to double down on failure, here is yet another example of them wasting taxpayer dollars for a program that is clearly being abused. The city claims to have bought back 800+ guns, but refuses to say how many of them were 'ghost guns', instead is only focusing on one man who sold them 60 back. VIDEO & MORE ARTICLE

Heres MSN's take FWIW

When he heard of Houston’s gun buyback event Saturday, one Spring Branch man figured he could make some money.

He drove down to Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church in Third Ward with his guns in his trunk and, like hundreds of others, spent hours in a 2-mile line that stretched down Scott Street. An old pistol he was gifted and no longer had use for was taken when it was his turn to relinquish it, but his two privately assembled and untraceable handguns — commonly known as “ghost guns” — were turned away.

“(Staff) just said they didn’t want any more of these ghost guns,” said Chris Kelm, who manufactured two 3D-printed handguns at a cost of $5 each with the purpose of making a profit at the event. “They’re fully functional firearms with firing pins and everything else.”

The ghost guns, often cheap to make and accessible, became a contentious point for Mayor Sylvester Turner and One Safe Houston, his $53 million public safety initiative, after some were exchanged for gift cards.

At the next such event, likely held in the next couple of months near Alief, ghost guns won’t be accepted.

“It was not designed for people to manufacture those guns and come get a Visa gift card,” he said.

I once turned in a sawed off bolt action .22, bought at a yard sale for $25, sheriff's gave me $200. Never yet had a background check at a yard sale.

I have an old dime store pistol that I'm 95% sure would blow up in your face I'm saving for the next buy back. I could use the $ to get a new upper.

Oh man, the #ing irony is priceless here. Create program to get ghost guns off the steet, stop taking ghost guns because people figured out how to profit off the program. Its funny because both factory stampped firearms and these 3d printed ones are equally fatal when used with violent intent.

There should be a dedicated group to set this up at every buyback program in America. The point is, how can you ban guns when they can now be made in a discreet location for the price of a couple meals out somewhere.
