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 know this will not change legislation or anything to do with gun culture in America but hopefully it’ll be a form of symbolism and hopefully America can wake up because no other country has the problems that we do with gun culture and ideation and gun violence like we do.”
The weapons were given to the Hillsboro Police Department in Oregon the day after an evil gunman shot and killed 19 fourth-graders and two teachers inside Robb Elementary School in Texas.
“I was up all night, tossing and turning, crying and shaking,” Beers, a former Marine, told KGW.

“A former Marine”
He probably loves the new fag Corps with their Rainbow Bullets.
Who is Ben “Too Many” Beers and why is the NY Post paying any attention to him?
NEVER go Full Cuck.
Former Marine?
Did he get his rainbow bullets destroyed too, for good measure?
Today you chose to publically out yourself as a spineless, weak-kneed, virtue signaling, punkazz beatch. I am personally grateful that you chose to destroy your firearms because people like you can’t be trusted.
Pillsbury dough boy. Soft and squishy.
I’d be willing to bet there’s a cop in Hillsboro that now has a new AR-15 and handgun.
That was a hard slam, Grace.
A guy that unstable definitely belongs on a “watch out for stupid” list. Not believing the Marine vet part but maybe he was a Modern Milley troop.?
Idiot.
I hope he can fight home intruders with a baseball bat or knife. He just advertised to the world his home is a gun-free zone.
Darwin award coming up.
Of course he did! Virtue signaling = $.
I know. Sickening.
On purpose. To get the ‘normies’ to not support the military and be patriotic.
Now he and his family could be prime targets for criminals looking for an easy/safe hit.
Who is ben beers and the horse he road in on?
My Grandfather was a Marine. Served in the Pacific during WWII. I still have his old uniform. The Marines celebrating “Pride” month makes me sick.
What a heeero.
No Marine would ever willingly give his/her weapons.
Otherwise it sounds like Beers needs to eat some crayons and take a Midol.
When someone does something like that, It makes me wonder if he had a nagging suspicion that he might do a mass shooting someday. Sounds like he can’t trust himself with a firearm. He should probably be put on a watch list.
