We all know the old saying "actions speak louder than words." A Madison man is living by that message by taking action to destroy firearms. It's all in an effort to prevent gun violence.
Madison's Midvale Community Lutheran Church was the site of Jeff Wild's symbolic action Monday. Wild along with several others, brought a pair of chop saws to the church's entrance to cut up six handguns, one rifle and one shotgun.
The action comes just a week after a student at Abundant Life Christian School brought two guns inside, killing a teacher and a fellow student. Wild says the guns he worked to destroy Monday were surrendered to him Friday following the shooting.
"We need to move forward in actually taking action to reduce gun violence in our communities," said Wild.
He continued, "I believe that with the work of faith communities, and with local leadership and student groups in schools that we can bring about a movement that will reduce firearm violence in our community."
Wild has done similar events like Monday's before. While he says this is not his first time doing so, the destruction is just his way to get guns out of the hands of people looking to do harm to others or their-selves.
Wild has also worked to blacksmith many of the destroyed guns into garden tools. He says doing so brings him a sense of satisfaction seeing the transformation from firearm to hand tool.
After all, it's guns that kill.

Dis-inventing the wheel... It’s been tried by many, and accomplished by none.
Did he chop up knives?
Cars?
Trucks?
Hammers?
Tire irons?
Human hands?
Baseball bats?
Arsenic?
Antifreeze?
There’s an endless list of things that were used to murder people on the true crime shows I watch on youtube.
He has a LOT of chopping up to do.
BTW, what he’s using to chop them up has probably been used as a murder weapon.
Virtue....signaled.
He’s a moron, a virtue signaling moron.
The stupid. It burns.
Good quote and good movie.
Scary snake :)
Like they used to say, a fork can kill too. But someone has to pick it up and use it to stab those saturated fats before it can.
So if the murderer used a car to run down and kill people would he have had his car crushed? He’s a moron.
Hey, if someone breaks into his house one night he can always use one of those garden tools he made with his guns to defend himself and his family. Hope that works out for him.
What’s Wisconsin law on private transfers of firearms? Were the cuts he made in line with ATF direction/regulation?
Empty, hollow virtue signaling fail.

We have a problem. Start snatching.

I’ll await word from Malmo.
Firearms ARE hand tools.
Maybe if this niave nitwit had sawed a criminal in half I would agree with him.
I’ll check to see if my local community college can come up with a course to blacksmith old garden tools into guns.
Kamala:
Find out why the invaders are coming.

They claim they are coming to escape deadly violence.

Do something - snatch the illegal guns. They don’t have no stinkin’ Amendment II.

Joe:
I wasn’t able to snatch even a significant percentage of the guns of criminals in California.

Kamala:
And I bet you were not able to deport a significant percentage of California’s criminal aliens.
Without kneepads, you are absolutely worthless.
