Summary

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has launched the nationwide “Yes to Disarmament, Yes to Peace” program.

The program offers cash to citizens who anonymously surrender firearms, including $430 for revolvers, $1,200 for AK-47s, and $1,300 for machine guns.

The weapons will be destroyed.

The program, expanded from a 2019 Mexico City initiative, aims to combat violent crime, with firearms responsible for 70% of Mexico’s 31,062 homicides in 2023.

    You can manufacture them with a lathe and CnC machine, and thats if you want quality. There are some rather terrifying Sten and Grease gun “replicas” in my area which you shouldnt shoot under any circumstances because they were manufactured in a shed by a half crazed Redneck and/or veteran back in the 90s.
