[Spec.-K]

Welp...
You do that if you want....
I still think that is doesn't help....ultimately sends the wrong message and I won't be a part of it.

Some of us have other schools of thought...

Please explain to me how , turning in your firearm is going to do anything to:
Stop crime from happening ...

Because we all know that all those guys who make a living robbing liquor stores and jacking cars will turn in the tools of their trade for $50. Duh! What needs to be explained?

It seems that my postings here , are misunderstood by some.

What you quoted here...
Was for the man in the article , who thought that by turning in his .22 that had been "laying around for a while"...
would somehow "do something" or stop crime.
A man who by the sound of it...ain't the problem , like criminals.


Since I am damn tired of repeating myself here in this thread....
I will no longer reply here.

That was an attempt at humor. SOOORRY! Sounds like somebody's got a bee in their bonnet.
