Jokes aside, much of the cattail plant is edible:
Legal or not, I don't think anyone should be building a gun from some instructions they found on the Internet. I'd put that right up there with following directions in the anarchist's cookbook on the list of good ideas.
If you're lucky, it will be a painful way to lose a finger.
Don't 3D print a gun. It'll just explode in your hand.

So, business as usual.

I think there was just a misunderstanding.

This is a lot more like Pandora's Box - all the evils have been let loose.
I've thought about this several times. A makerspace seems like an ideal way to do this on the face of it - collect from the community, not just one person, and have the processing equipment at a shared location, and then you can have the recycled material at the makerspace for members to use for prototyping or whatever.
But you can't mix plastic types. Sure most of what you collect would be PLA, but not all of it, and you can't really identify the polymer just by looking at it. So now you have to get information from the donor - what material did you print this with? And hope they remember the right thing. Also inspect every donation for foreign objects like screws or blobs of glue. And then label and keep records on all the material until you can get around to actually processing it through the recycling equipment.
Also you can't mix the material you run through the recycling - a little bit of PETG in a batch of PLA will ruin the whole batch and probably clog up the filament extruder, requiring you to stop and clean everything out. So you have to either have completely separate processing lines for PLA and PET and whatever else, or you have to clean the shredder and the extruder out really well between batches, or just limit what you process to one material.
The whole concept doesn't scale well beyond one person, but it's also a lot of equipment and a lot of work for one person to operate by themselves.
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
