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.
Oh, we can round up all the guns, but 20 million invaders, no can do.
Chopping up guns doesn’t prevent crime, chopping up leftists just might.
“I’ll check to see if my local community college can come up with a course to blacksmith old garden tools into guns.”
There is a video online of a barrel being made by Colonial Williamsburg craftsmen.
It took about a week to make one.
More effective if he crushed all his fingers on an anvil with a sledge hammer.

“Pump-action shotguns are an excellent choice for home defense and for hunting small game such as turkey and waterfowl.”

We don’t have a gun problem. We have a behavior problem.
And watch out for scooters, and cars.
A Russian general no longer can.
Rape is also an issue. May I suggest what you cut off, yah TWPT?
It’s just virtue signaling. I always say, if you don’t like guns, don’t own ‘em!
Leave the rest of us alone.
“This solves nothing.”
It’s even worse ... when was he planning on entering the school to commit a mass shooting event?
His actions imply his personal intent to commit such crimes sometime in the future, like an alcoholic dumps his stash of booze to stop, or a smoker rips up his pack of cigs, or, well, you get the picture.
Many blacksmiths are liberal.
Or not.

Dumbass.

What an idiot.
How many firearm purchases in 2024? This is a teaspoon out of the Mississippi.
He makes guns into garden tools. ‘Cause nobody has ever been killed with a garden tool.
