FBI director Kash Patel gifted illegal pistol replicas to New Zealand officials during his visit. However, they had to be destroyed since the local law makes it illegal to own the replicas. The 3D printed plastic pistol replicas were added to the display stands that Kash Patel was presenting to the three senior officials of New Zealand in July. According to New Zealand law, pistols come under heavy restrictions, and possessing one takes additional permits compared to a normal gun license. The spy agency’s spokesperson called the gift “a challenge coin display stand.” The stand had inoperable pistols as a part of the design.
