Gunbusters does not necessarily destroy the firearm which is handed over at these buybacks. Rather, it often destroys the part on which the serial number is located, then sells the remaining gun parts on the gun parts market. As a result, “Gunbusters and its five licensees across the country, for example, recently averaged more than $90,000 a week in combined online sales of hundreds of disassembled guns from government clients.”
I’ve bought parts (for a very old gun) from Gunbusters.
Kinda hated them for breaking up valuable antiques, but this story made me feel all warm & fuzzy inside. I helped them defeat the hoplophobes!
It says “coming soon”. Think they’ve pulled their site down?
Sounds like a good gig they’ve got going.
