COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Police in South Carolina gave away roses on Valentine's Day. All you had to do to get one for your sweetie was turn in a gun.

If I give them a dozen roses,can I have a dozen guns?

Oh and BTW the cops are keeping records of who turns a gun in. if it is found to have been used in a crime or stolen they will be coming to see you!! How many cousin F’ers will be caught in that one?

I would turn in my sweetie for a gun.

Sounds as fair as the deal they’re offering.

When it gets bad enough, they’ll be offering canned food for your guns.

[I see my hands]

What caliber roses?

[autumnraine]

I can grow a rose, I can’t grow a gun.

I don’t think I could beat a robber with the thorns on a rose....

That’s ok.....I’ll keep my guns.

I would like it if my sweetie got me (another) gun.

So they only took registered guns? Ummmmm aren’t those usually the ones used in SELF DEFENSE?

They did a similar thing here in San Diego, no questions about weapon $100.00 food certificate, they ran out of certificates, and of course no stolen guns returned to owners

Goes to show that even in conservative areas, the larger cities are corrupt.

anyone that would do that probably isn’t mentally stable enough to own a gun to start with!

... gun donors were young and old, men and woman. Many had a big smile and some said it was a relief to get rid of the weapons.

Frigging sheep! nObama wuvs you.
