Made of found objects Sach's homemade Guns are of the most basic design. Though made only of wooden barricades, pipes and metal fixtures, they are functional. Commenting on and critiquing the ease of acquisition and accessibility of guns in American culture, Sach's seeks to unveil the dangers of this inalienable right.
"When Sachs talks about his work he often uses the term 'dub version' an idea that goes back to the reggae music of the seventies and eighties...Dub was sculptural in that it was achieved by reduction, by stripping the song down to a beat and then reintroducing the original. Sach's dub versions relate to this process, addition by subtraction. If less is more, then isn't least most? What is the least you can do, and still do? What is essence." (G. O'Brien, "Cliff Notes", Tom Sachs, Paris, 1996, p. 10).

Ironically, it was two of Sach's Guns and a vase full of bullets that lead to the arrest of dealer Mary Boone for distribution of live ammunition.
