NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — A New Haven woman, determined to keep her own gun from getting into the wrong hands, sawed her weapon in two.

Former School Teacher Amanda Meyer told News 8 via Skype that she was moved to take action in the wake of the Florida school massacre.

“I had decided to do it before the Parkland shooting happened but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. And it was after that and reading the negativity on social media and realizing that I didn’t want to be part of that club anymore that finally drove me to do it,” she said.

Meyer says she plans to turn in her destroyed handgun to police on Tuesday.

Let’s hope she didn’t saw through the frame where the serial number is.

I think it’s the “demented idiot” club.

Okay. You could saw your gun in half to stop bad people from getting hold of it.
Or... I dunno, you could just lock it in a drawer somewhere, too.

One of these choice promotes silly leftist propaganda from bleeding heart morons, though, so I guess that was the obvious choice for her.

“Former School Teacher Amanda Meyer”


I feel less sorry for her stupidity than for the generations of kids she has brainwashed into being sheep and dupes.

“Former Teacher,”

I’m sure there is more to this story if one digs deeper.

We need Paul Harvey for “The rest of the story.”

The Parkland shooting happened because the Broward County idiots have a local law that requires police to refer all crime done by people under 18 yo to be referred to the school system so that young people don’t get criminal or mental health problem records.
If the schools suppress the information from getting into the background check data base then the background checks for firearms won’t work.

Bets on when she will be:
1. Mugged
2. Beaten
3. Raped
4. Murdered.

As planned. They need bloody school desks to forward THE AGENDA.

Something about children being the eggs needed to make an omelette.

It’s stories about dumbasses like this that inspired me to re-up my NRA membership. Remington should have waited to file for bankruptcy. Sales of guns will pick up now.

And then you’d actually have the gun if someone broke into your house to rob or rape you.


When she realized she was really a lib, she knew she had no use for her ?club? or the gun, because everyone knows that libs are immune to rape, robbery or murder ... as you can see from that logic she has become the new poster child for mental disease.

IIRC Connecticut law states that modifying a firearm in any way is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in state prison and a $250,000 fine.

She’s virtue signaling while making another left turn.
