The real WTF is why that PoS was even visiting NZ.

Giant overreaction given all we know about 3d printed guns and that they were made specifically to be inoperable and were part of a display, but that’s what we’ve come to expect from governments around the world unfortunately.

Inoperable weapons are treated as though they’re operable in New Zealand if modifications could make them workable again. The pistols were judged by gun regulators to be potentially operable and were destroyed, New Zealand’s Police Commissioner Richard Chambers told AP in a statement Tuesday.

What we don’t know is how inoperable they were.

They could have been made as a monolithic display piece. But wouldn’t surprise me if they were fully working “ghost guns” with a few parts missing.

It's a kind of a kink. Ammosexualism is a thing.
