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.

"Maybe her late husband was indeed a machinist or something, and showed her a few things... "

With that whackjob for a wife he probably hooked up a garden hose to his tail pipe years ago.

I am sure she feels like a superior person now, how do you put a price tag on that?

..."Bets on when she will be: 1. Mugged 2. Beaten 3. Raped 4. Murdered...."

I was wondering if she knew doing this with her name and mug on TV might tip off the local thugs. She is shouting "I'm unarmed!! Come and get me."

Like beating your own kid because a kid the next town over acted out against his parents.

Guess she doesn’t want “Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven.”

“...These mass shootings sure flush out a whole bunch more severely deranged specimens....”

Sure does. It provides just a steady stream of potential candidates for the MK ULTRA zombie program.

Hi Point has a no questions asked guarantee. She could mail them the sawed in half pistol and get a new one in return. Did you know that?

It doesn’t cover intentional damage, though.

Did you know the name came from High Point, North Carolina?
