KaasZerg Netherlands927 Posts November 27 2011 16:25 GMT #121 I'm sceptikal For every AK47 taken 2 more could be bought by the ones who sold their weapon to this company. It just creates a bigger demand for weapons. They just ditch faulty weapons for cash. Things have a way of working out this way. Especally in chaotic violent countries. A rich hipster way to feel good about themselves and safe the world to only indirectly feul the fire even more. These initiatives are just naieve and trendy. I think Founderie know they don't help solve the problem. They don't care as long as the consumer thinks it does help. I'm sorry but the feel good story is a commercial lie and you bought into it.

Snaphoo United States614 Posts November 27 2011 17:18 GMT #124 It seems macabre to wear a bracelet made from an assault rifle that was formerly used to murder villagers. Wouldn't do it myself, but good luck to them reducing the supply of assault rifles in war-torn areas.

Shinigami Naruto United States6 Posts November 27 2011 18:00 GMT #127 My concern would be that this would increase the demand for fire arms, so wouldn't more be made anyway? and the manufacturers of the ak's would make even more money. I'm a little skepticle cause these won't be cheap, so i agree that it will only make people that are buying think they are helping, while the makers of the bracelet might be making it off rich, and the makers of the ak's getting more money as well. Plus it would mean newer firearms for the rebels to use. Cause either way, their money will be allocated to guns. Money doesn't stop criminals from getting and abusing guns. Just read KaasZerg's post a couple before me and i share the same opinion.

Rogerabbit_gosu United Kingdom27 Posts November 27 2011 19:12 GMT #130 Pathetic, you cant solve the problems in Africa by starving them of weaponry, the UK are one of the largest suppliers of weaponry to anyone with the money to buy it! We need to help Africa out with their dire economic problems (which we put them in) and kill off the route of their conflict, rather than simply stopping them from getting guns, all that does it make them use cheap explosives and melee weapons! China has started funding programs to try and stabalize Africa somewhat, so far they have been working far more effectively than anything the West has ever done, I really don't think reducing the gun usage will solve anything, but it is a nice idea and I don't want to put down the ideas of someone trying to help

Bub United States3518 Posts November 27 2011 19:59 GMT #131 Neat idea. So one costs 32k or what? I'm interested

methematics United States392 Posts November 27 2011 20:54 GMT #132 id much rather have the AK personally. . .

wei2coolman United States60033 Posts November 27 2011 21:05 GMT #133 Guns don't kill people, people kill people. If they had to commit genocide with butter knifes, they would do that. Can't help but think this is just a rich person ploy to pretend they're helping the world.

ddrddrddrddr 1344 Posts November 27 2011 21:34 GMT #134 Well this is kind of stupid... increase demand for weapons so weapon dealers have a higher incentive to import more.

FrodoAndTheSlobStix United States158 Posts November 27 2011 21:45 GMT #135 Hmm, I'm always skeptical of these things. More money to make. IMO What were they gona do? Use ak 47 in todays warfare? Lets make them expensive jewlery
