  The difference is that this hole was exploited once and since been plugged.

    There is no difference, because you don't know how many other guns were 3D printed or milled for this buyback scheme that now won't be traded in. Maybe there will be an increase in ghost guns caused by the policy and its subsequent change.

  Not really: in that case, no one is dupe. It’s just a kid who is being blatantly churlish and wasting everyone else’s money.

    We don't know if it's being wasted. He could be spending it on building orphanages.

    I would fault the officials that set up the gun buyback program with wasting everyone's money.
