Earlier, the city of Greensboro, North Carolina offered to take “unwanted” guns from people and have them sign a pledge of non-violence.
As advertised on Facebook:
Greensboro police are asking at least 1,000 residents of the Gate City to show their commitment to safety by signing a “Pledge of Nonviolence” this Saturday, Nov. 14 at Destiny Christian Center, 2401 Randleman Rd. from 9 am to 3 pm. At the same event, gun owners can safely turn in unwanted firearms from their homes. Policeemployees will be accepting handguns, rifles, shotguns, and ammunition at the event. This is not a buy-backprogram. No cash will be given in exchange for weapons voluntarily surrendered to police.
You know exactly how that turned out. One BB gun and a knife. Unbelievable. The police department in Greensboro asked for the public to turn in weapons at a non-buy back event in the name of ‘non-violence’. It failed miserably.
Time Warner Cable News (TWCN) reported on the gun turn-in with a video that showed one knife–complete with a leather sheath–and a BB gun pistol with plastic handles made to resemble the real wood handles on many real handguns. But TWCN reported that “almost 1,000″ people did sign the “Pledge of Nonviolence” which was available to be signed during the event.
I’ve got a better idea.
I’m going to hold my own event at my Homestead next weekend. All I’m asking is that any willing gun owner who has unwanted guns please hand them over to me. No names are necessary. No pledges need to be signed. I will respect your privacy–hell, you can wear a mask if you want or a paper bag over your head.
I’m especially fond of Kimber Ultra Aegis II (9mm) and I’d be thrilled to get a few Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport, Semi-automatic.
Come early and I will fix you a nice cup of coffee.
Epic gun grab failure…
