Homemade Shotguns At Columbus “Buyback” Gun Turn-In

A few years ago, “ghost gun” homemade shotguns were appearing at gun “buyback” turn-in events, as makers of the simple shotguns cashed in on the money to be had. Gun “buyback” is an Orwellian term. You cannot “buyback” a gun you never owned before.

In a recent turn-in event on October 23, from 10:00 a.m to 2:00 p.m. in Columbus, Ohio, it appears two of the shotguns were turned in for $50 each. The guns show a bit of craftsmanship. The hose clamps are nicely clipped instead of having excessive over-run, the stock is inletted for the barrel and clamping system, and the pipe-barrel muzzle is squared off and trimmed. The materials cost about $10.

The event brought in a little less than 100 guns. Some of them were worth far more than the $50 offered.  From 10tv.com:
The Public Safety office told us they received 73 handguns, 11 shotguns, and 13 rifles.
