“After the guns are dismantled, they’re turned into garden tools, art, and jewelry.”
I think of my little revolver as a handy tool and I wear it often. Maybe I’ll start thinking about it as a piece if art also.
It’s very handy for preventing rattlesnake violence. It has a certain beauty to it when the snakes are out and about.
Well now. If the grip is embellished with a silver bezeled star sapphires is the object not jewelry?
Fine, then ban knives, brass knuckles, gasoline, explosives, box cutters, hands, and feet.
Nobody buys firearms from the police.
The police cannot buy them back.
It’s people who make the act of violence possible. a gun, shovel, tomahawk or knife does not have free will.
It is deliberate, Orwellian new-speak. It is meant to deceive.
Or will get misplaced to be stolen by CRIMINALS, so more innocent lives will be lost.
It wasn't opened to the media...
Translation: LeQuintrel bought the gun used in a murder of a rival gang member. I wonder how many guns had the serial number filed off...
I wonder who the stole the guns from to “donate”
How do you know the were law abiding. I would guess gang members that stole them and turned them into $
I’m not a gun person but I have gone to a couple of gun shows. I don’t recall seeing any gun selling for under $200, and some were going for $2000.
Yes a pawn shop could never do something like this. Are nonprofit organizations such as “guns to gardens” above the law?
“35 less guns in the hands of law abiding citizens!”
What makes you think they are law-abiding citizens? Steal a gun, turn it it without consequences for a gift card, and then steal another gun.
“Obviously, it is an individual who commits an act of violence, but a weapon makes that act of violence possible.”
I wonder how much they’d pay for a baseball bat, knife, or rock?
My current weapon of choice is a stout homemade walking stick that I have used to repel aggressive dogs. What’s that worth??
Wow! - that'll make a difference.. I feel safer already
Seems to me Buy Backs are a great way for criminals to sell their stolen guns, no questions asked, and then just go out and steal another one.
“Donation” sounds like they were helping needy people who can’t afford a gun.
“Are nonprofit organizations such as “guns to gardens” above the law?”
More to the point, does dismantling a gun and making it into art qualify as, for lack of a better word, “demiling” it? Who is to say that sometime in the future someone’s lawn ornament will not get them in trouble for possession of an illegal gun?
“Whoever coined the term “buyback” for this type of transaction is a flaming moron.”
Just like when they have “amnesty days” for turning in old paint, insecticides, etc. Like it is illegal to own any of this stuff.
Every copy of “1984” needs to have a massive watermark on each page that says “This is a warning. Not an instruction manual”
