NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — A New Haven woman, determined to keep her own gun from getting into the wrong hands, sawed her weapon in two.

Former School Teacher Amanda Meyer told News 8 via Skype that she was moved to take action in the wake of the Florida school massacre.

“I had decided to do it before the Parkland shooting happened but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. And it was after that and reading the negativity on social media and realizing that I didn’t want to be part of that club anymore that finally drove me to do it,” she said.

Meyer says she plans to turn in her destroyed handgun to police on Tuesday.

Good, the more guns that liberals own and destroyed, the better. Mentally ill people should not own guns.

Rather than protect, she chose to be a future a future victim! I can’t understand the mentality of these people.

I'm waiting for the first idiot who tries this, forgets to remove the ammunition from the weapon, and ends up shooting themselves ...

...suicide by saw.

Well, let’s hope all liberal abortion doctors follow her wonderful lead and saw their hands in two.

Illegally altering a firearm is a felony. Esp. in Konnecticut.

As I wrote elsewhere, just after the whole Virginia "white nationalist"/Antifa kerfuffle last year, the statists cranked up the agitprop to derail Trump/impeach him etc. Many on the "right" also turned on Trump, like the CEOs quitting his Advisory Council.

Ultimately, it was all a futile effort. America/Deplorables, no longer peopled by milquetoast Republicans, understood what Trump was saying (and that he wasn't Hitler's incarnate), the NeverTrumpers kept rambling while Antifa were unmasked as the terrorists that they are, the American Renaissance losers were rejected by Deplorables, and ultimately we got tax reform (among other things).

We are seeing EXACLY the same thing now...on the backs of dead children, the statists want to convert Florida - one of the most pro-gun states in the union (and a vital source of conceal carry reciprocity) - into Connecticut. In the process, the MSM is looking under every rock and in every hole for "conservatives" willing to surrender their right to KABA in return for invitations to cocktail and pizza parties.

Indeed, we got this test balloon: Is the Second Amendment Worth Dying For? The appropriate response, of course came from NorthMountain:

The disarmists need to decide whether or not “gun-control” is worth dying for ...

Buckle up, folks....here we go again.

“School shooting threat at San Marcos High School today in California. Snap Chat was turned in by 2 parents.”

Just look at the young punks the media is parading all over the place. There are a lot more shitheads out there to backfill for Cruz.
