An Oregon gun owner went viral for having his AR-15 rifle and a handgun “destroyed” by police in the wake of the Uvalde school massacre.
Ben Beers delivered a passionate speech about changing the nation’s gun laws in a video posted on TikTok before delivering his firearms to a local police station.
“I no longer want them,” Ben Beers said in the video clip viewed by almost 200,000 users.

I noticed that too.
The formerly REAL USMC. Some are still around- hanging on as the most feared fighting force in the World. The SEAL’s recruit from the Marines. And, they were called Leathernecks for the leather collars they wore as defense against sabre attacks to the neck and head.
Yes- The Few. The Happy Few.
From what I’ve seen, there are at least 70 countries with a higher homicide rate per 100,000 than the U.S. has.
But the propaganda wing of the dnc intentionally sensationalizes gun crimes to make it seem like a bigger problem than what it really is.
