Guns to gardens

[Ruger Rich]

Then he gets in his car, which may not have been designed to hurt people, but it's hurt, maimed, killed a lot of people.

Let's make guns out of wrecked cars

Thought the same myself but I am sure it's the first shovel the dood has ever had in his hands.

Probably went for a tetanus shot at the emergency room after he got his first blister or sliver.

They said it could be whatever it wanted to be when it grew up..

But then the ATF classified it as an SBR and it had to go to jail for 18 months.

It got the short end of the situation.

The whole thing is mere Utopianism. No scale can come of it on a voluntary basis. The idea of collecting enough guns for melting down and repurposing is absurd. A government mandate a la Australia, that produced mountains of firearms for such processing.

Barrels for garden stakes is about the limit of this proposal and danged few.

On second thought, maybe this hare-brained idea is more about money. Meaning, if they are a non-profit, they can go for grant money regardless of how worthless the idea. Not to mention pimping for donations, which is listed in the heading of their site.

Don't forget that it's an opportunity to virtue signal.

The ones that want to melt firearms wish to make these gardening tools

Well, dood in the vid didn't know enough to use a round-point shovel to dig in the sod instead of a square point shovel? Shoulda' been shoveling some of their manure with that square point instead.

Wombats poop cubes.

I find it interesting a church has gotten involved with this.

"Doing it's part to prevent gun violence" By collecting guns that were unlikely at best to be involved in violence.

Oh that's a given.

It really 'disturbs' me to see a crescent butt stock in the barrel.

That could have been a very collectible, and possibly valuable vintage Winchester.

In WA, HB 1024 does not stipulate on the destruction of an 'assault weapon' as an option. In other words, once an 'assault weapon' always an 'assault weapon.' Which means garden tools made from an 'assault weapon' can't be sold or manufactured in WA.

The BATF's take on this:

"Garden Guns are defined as "a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be used in the garden."

Are the folks who are doing this breaking any laws...?
As in...

Is a FFL transfer or Background check needed...?
Or in the process of "destroying " or "re-purposing" the firearm...was a "Short Barreled Rifle" created..?
Were serial numbers removed...?
Are there ATF rules and or guidelines about how to destroy a firearm...and if so...Are they being followed here...?
Is the once a firearm , now a garden tool...still considered a firearm under ATF rules...?

Please note that I think the idea of turning a firearm into a garden tool...is stupid.
Also note that even though I asked questions about BGC's and the ATF....I ain't a fan of either.
However...
It would be ironic , and enjoyable to learn that these anti-gun people are breaking some of the very laws that they push for...
Or are in agreement with.

Yeah. They aren't law enforcement or an FFL so "surrendering" a firearm to them constitutes a firearm transfer.... and giving out money cards in exchange constitutes a firearm purchase. I would imagine too, it could be reasonably argued under the "build party" rules as another violation.

From what I understood they basically have to go meet with a person one-on-one, plan to provide the tools and directions for a firearm owner to chop their own firearm... disabling it under the alphabet guidelines... before they can hand over the scrap for repurposing.

The non BP's they already collected are a violation, but you know they would never be charged or held accountable. Laws don't apply to those in-line with the leftist agenda.... right.

The "gunbygun.org" site , which this is an offshoot of , is simply a money grab.

They maintain that "5 donations of $20 will get 1 more gun off the street " through buybacks. Must have been founded by a math professor.

That or their target gun demographic is used Hi Points.

Man , that barrel full of ghost glocks with switches, and all those ARs ...
Oh wait, it was rusted up shotguns again.

They probably spent more on refreshments for the volunteers than they saw in return value of those " guns".
