That sounds to me like a trivial administrative detail, in how the buyback program defines "gun", and the amounts paid. They might accept glue guns, squirt guns, paintball guns, pellet guns, rusted-out muzzle loaders, and more - but only pay $0 for 'em. If some folks bitch about that - tell 'em the city is spending money to reduce crime and social problems, not to subsidize their 3D printing hobby. Go sell take-it-apart puzzles on Etsy, kid.

(From what I've heard: Printed guns are a huge thing in fiction, and ideological and legal battles. But actual usage in real-world gun crimes / accidents / suicides is stuck at 0.0%)
