With this guy being this unstable, he is lucky he didn’t have a daughter who was raped.

You know it’s fake because he said he told the state he destroyed it. That’s not enough. It has be handed in to police station and marked as destroyed. Then you can tell the state the gun no longer exists.

I didn’t think to use an angle grinder. Silly me. I took all my guns fishing. Everyone on FR knows how a boat ride with firearms always ends!

I suppose that one way of stopping your firearms from sneaking out of the house without you knowing it, so that they can go on a murder spree. /s

“Was he afraid HE might?”

He knows five people who were shot. Three attempted or succeeded at suicide, one was a victim of one of the suiciders, and the fifth was a victim of a “mass shooting”.

Maybe it’s best he got rid of his guns if he has been psychologically damaged by this.

I have Freepers tell me all the time they need the streets flooded with aggressive traffic control cops because it makes them “drive safer”.

Typical liberal Californian response.

If his neighbor had too many kids, would he also castrate himself?

If his neighbors were all fat, would he destroy his forks?

I suggest all those who sell alcohol dump all of it in the gutters to protest drunk drivers killing many thousands every year.

I'd guess that the vast majority of homes in Roseburg, Oregon have at least one gun in the attic, basement or garage.

If you don't have a gun in a rural area, something or someone will eventually kill you, and maybe eat you.

This story reeks of leftist fairy tale.

I smell a lefty rat also. Let's see his receipt for the weapon, and lets see the destroyed gun, in person. Pictures don't mean a thing to me.

This story reeks of leftist fairy tale.

Lib scribblers love to post stories about ex-gun lovers who became distraught over a shooting and destroyed their weapon(s).

I remember reading a story some years ago by an especially stupid lib scribbler from the Twin Cities named Nick Coleman who writes/wrote for the Minneapolis (Star) Tribune. Among his nuttier propositions was that the presidents ought to be sandblasted off Mt. Rushmore.

So Coleman wrote a story about handguns and actually bought one to see what the mystery was about owning one. As I started out reading Coleman's diatribe (the usual lib spiel about anthropomorphic guns going around killing people), I said to myself, his last sentence will have him getting his firearm melted down. Sure enough, his last sentence was about the satisfaction he got from having his pistol melted down.

So he destroyed his only weapon.

Now he is a GUARANTEED future victim.

Life is tough enough without being stupid.
