Entrepreneurial Capitalism

Over on the Firearm Blog there's an article that restores my faith in the free market economy. Here's a fellow who recognized the opportunity in the New York gun buybacks, and is taking advantage of it.

It seems the NYPD will give you up to $300 for turning in a gun, no questions asked, and will then destroy the evidence for you. Being of an artistic bent, and full of avarice, Tom Sachs first builds zip guns as art, charges people to see them, then turns the art in to the NYPD who actually pays him for it.

This one actually works as opposed to some of the other items which are non-working art pieces.
