The Gun Reclamation Project takes its philosophy of beating swords into plowshares seriously. The collection of baubles by B-Side Jewelry pillages firearms for parts (triggers, firing pins, recoil lugs) and recasts them as symbols of nonviolence. Launching tonight at a fundraising event for the New York City Gun Buy-Back Program, the collection of rehabilitated accessories will do more than reduce the number of guns on the streets: a portion of proceeds will go toward efforts to make Gotham a safer place to live in.
