You can buy a semi-automatic rifle in America in 38 minutes. It's no secret that guns in America are a problem despite what the NRA tells you. With the recent influx of mass shootings it may seem like they're a plague with no solution. The American Senate can't get to a solution even with a huge sit in. So many of us are left to wonder just what the hell we do with all the guns in America.
YouTuber Special Head may have found the solution in a New York City artist and musician, Ken Butler. His "Hybrid Visions" reimagine guns and ephemera as fully playable musical instruments. If America followed Australia's lead we wouldn't have to have a single piece of scrap metal, instead we could do something brilliant.
In all seriousness, the issues surrounding gun control can't be ignored in the attempt to win an election, or left to a senate that is more concerned with funding than they are safety. In a world where it's getting increasingly difficult to argue in favor of gun ownership, one can only hope that change is inevitable.
If we're lucky we might get stricter gun laws, and if we're even luckier we'll make instruments from the scrapped weapons.
