Someone who was simply bored, ingenuity in the face of harsh financial conditions, a salute to peace, a love for music, or simply an opportunity to turn a leftover war relic to good use, or maybe some other reason — I really don’t know. Whatever the reason may be, the following image of an AK-47 turned into a saxophone is pretty powerful if you ask me. Check it out:

Pretty cool, no?

Unfortunately, I don’t know the backstory of this image. I don’t even know if the AK-47 belonged (belongs) to the man in the picture and if the man is in the picture is the one who turned it into a sax. However, putting context clues together (black man with an AK-47), one could say it is probably an image of someone in Africa. However, that would be racist. So we aren’t going to say that. We are going to say he is a Canadian tinkerer who bought the AK-47 from a junkyard and wanted to put it to good use.
