This is rich. A guy made some zip guns to turn in at a gun “buy back” and make some cash. Proof of that old dictum that people invariably figure out how scam and undermine every government program.
In an unnamed gun 'buy back' that is reported to have occurred in June of 2014, These four homemade slam fire shotguns were turned in for cash. The piece of pipe that acts as a barrel slides in the front. It is much like the slam fire shotguns that were developed and used in guerrilla fighting in the Philippines in WWII. From countercurrentnews.com:
The self-described “gun rights activist,” who we are not naming, brought in a duffel bag full of home made, “slam-fire” shotguns (all of legal length). He was paid $50 for each of these improvised guns. This low ball price shows just how unrealistic it is for anyone but criminals to turn guns in to the police when they have these buy back programs.Maybe an alert reader can ID the gun turn in where this occurred. There was a turn in event in New York in June of 2014, but I do not know if that is the same as this one. Still, $200 for a couple of hours of work and $30 worth of pipe is a worthwhile project.
