Gun buyback programs promise cash for guns, no questions asked.

Some entrepreneurs got crafty and made these “guns” to turn in for some fast cash.

Spend a few dollars on pipes and grab some junk wood, and you too can make these interesting creations. This homemade shotgun is a rare one indeed. Have you ever seen a “Glock & Wesson” collaboration? It might just be the first of its kind.

Buy a package of Pop Tarts. Nibble into a pair of Saturday Nite Specials. Cash them in for $200 with the idiot bureaucrats running a gun buyback. Sweet!

As kids we made something similar out of PCV pipe and had wars with bottle rockets.

Ah, the days when kids were allowed to be kids....

Pretty much anyone who took basic "shop" in high school (and many who didn't get even that far) can build a crude gun. This is 9th-10th Century technology. The US gov't will happily instruct you as how to build this stuff with a trip to Home Depot and Walmart. (Available from Amazon for about $10 or as a free download!)

Good stuff. The more people realize the reality of guns and gun manufacture, the more we win.

That’s a working gun. There’s a video on youtube that shows it working and how to make it.

Hey...if this...

...can be considered a gun and get a kid in trouble then the cops have no say on whether a hunk of wood and a pipe is a firearm or not.

Gotta link? I searched Amazon and I could only find a similar title for $1.99...not the actual title you posted.

If kids are getting expelled for fingers and pop tarts, then someone can make a million dollars turning in pop tarts chewed in the form of a “gun”. Get chewing!

See that nice one with an extended magazine and bullets? All of these were made in a California Prison by inmates. Even the cartridges were hand made.

Here are a couple of other handmade items. the nice little shiny pistol was hand filed from a piece of railroad track.
