When Jonathan Pring posted images on Facebook showing the moment he went from being a current gun owner to a former gun owner, he knew he’d get some response.

What he didn’t expect was for the post to go viral.

"I didn't wake up yesterday planning to become the local Phoenix poster child for the American gun debate,” Pring said.

The pictures show Pring willingly handing over his firearms, which included a machine gun and a pistol, to a uniformed Phoenix police officer in the living room of his Phoenix home.

Pring, who’s a dual citizen of the U.S. and Great Britain, said he called the department’s non-emergency number asking to hand over his guns to them after watching the horror unfold in Las Vegas this week.

Miss Pring has opened her home to ALL practitioners of Islam, homeless, economic refuges.

Pring is also requesting any Hollywood film moguls with a casting couch interview her children!

" Kids were encouraged to give up their toy guns. Good adult, but safe for kids, TV shows dumbed down to kiddie shows. Movies on TV were butchered to remove all violence. Only the theater movies got a pass when they said they would “police themselves” with a joke of a ratings system. So they reshot scenes and added more violence and sex to get the then coveted “R” rating."

Back in 2005, I wanted to have my toddler grandson photographed with a cowboy hat and a western holster/cap gun. We first went to a TOYS & US store to get the cowboy gear.......ask a store person where the toy cap guns were. A confrontation soon occurred, where the store person chided us about violence and firmly said, "WE DON'T SELL FIREARMS AT TOYS & US!!!!!"

Never went back to TOYS & US again!!!!

An if I'm not mistaken, TOYS & US is filling bankruptcy.........yeaaaa!

I lived in Denver for over ten years. It is being ruined by Californians fleeing high taxes (which they voted for!)

As for this:

Years ago in Denver, at a Million Moms counter-protest, someone had some very nice professionally printed yard signs saying just that, and was offering them free to libs leaving the Million Moms march. Had no takers. Wonder why?

Libs are hypocrites. Conservatives, in general, have actual principles.

Which is probably why, we appear to have no backbone. LOL!

“Conservatives” of today are hypocrites of a different kind. It doesn’t matter if you try to do left or if you try to do right. You can’t do either one without God. It’s powerless.

I said you virtue signaled like praying out loud in church.

Which you’ve done several times on this thread.

Might start with board up your butt before you complain about the splinter in mine.
