I'd assumed someone with a 3-D printer saw a sales opportunity.

Assuming you already had a 3D printer (recommended one "cost: $250"), then it would cost $100 for each gun.

According to an article in Slate: 3d-printed-semi-automatic-rifle-fgc-9.html

You can also spend $1200 for each one, but that would be made out of metal and not a ghost gun. $1200: The price of (legally) 3D printing your own metal AR-15 rifle at home - ExtremeTech

So at a cost of $100 each, and selling them for $150 each, they would have made $3100 ($50 profit per gun) if they printed out 62 guns and turned them over to the police. As long as they already had the $250 recommended printer. Or it would have made them $2850 if you include the cost of the printer. Not counting electricity and other odds and ends.

The last time that my husband and I were in a large crowd, this happened: Man Killed, 5 Hurt In Gunfire At Zombie Event In Florida

We used to go to Zombiecon in Fort Meyers every year. We heard the shots then we saw everyone running in a panic. We're older, slower and had to duck in a hotel doorway to keep from being run over. Shootings into crowds or panic from what people perceive are shootings into the crowd are happening weekly here in Florida. It's crazy and it certainly keeps us from attending events like Music Festivals anymore.

I testified to Congress about the gun industry. It rattled me to my core | Ryan Busse

Gun-makers are openly marketing to – and perhaps even creating – the next generation of mass shooters, all in service of their bottom line

Don't know all the details but apparently there is a Trumper in a stand off with the police over an unrelated mental health issue across the alley from me. They have spent over two hours trying to talk him out. There is now gunfire going on.
