Kickstarter has become a way to raise capital for projects - games, books, what-have-you. If enough people pledge funds, the project goes forward and the people putting in money get a copy. If there isn't enough interest, the project goes away and nobody loses money.
I'm wondering if this approach could not be used to raise money for firearm production. For example, S&W Model 16s in .32 S&W Long fetch insane prices...I suspect there would be a few thousand people willing to buy a new-production gun. Maybe a Walther PPK in .32 ACP (which is a lot more pleasant to shoot). A revived Webley break-open revolver...manufactured from the factory in .45 Auto Rim. (I'd mention a Baker rifle, but Pedersoli has one in late development)
Good idea? Bad idea? I'm stone-cold sober, so it's not the Scotch talking...
