I turn guns into garden tools. We need more options for destroying firearms [View all]

Gun buybacks often don't get the right guns off the street, and many police departments end up reselling weapons they confiscate. There must be a better way.

It’s easier to get a gun in America than it is to get rid of a gun.

Between 2019 and 2021, Philadelphia organized more than 34 buyback events. But despite all that effort, Philadelphia recovered just over 1,000 firearms, none of which had been used in a crime.


What can I say? I guess these gun buying events aren't the answer to anything.
