I don't like guns. They scare and intimidate me, plus they promote violence. B-side by ken and dana designs has a great solution: the Gun Reclamation Project. Sourcing from gun manufacturers, B-side's Gun Reclamation Project turns the gun parts into really cool pieces of jewelry.
The Gun Reclamation Project destroys symbols of violence and makes something beautiful. So hurray for peace! Even better, for each piece sold, B-side also donates a portion to NYC's Gun Buy-Back Program to continue the cycle. Fighting crime, making fashion and being awesome--way to go Gun Reclamation Project!
