1,750 Guns Destroyed
Per this:
Davidson County District Attorney General Torry Johnson yesterday said that the state needs to ”get serious” about fighting crimes committed with guns by passing stricter laws.
Johnson’s statements came at a press conference where Metro police announced they were destroying 1,750 guns of many varieties and calibers confiscated by officers in the past several months.
Apparently, the volume of guns destroyed and citing serious offenses are used as a basis to demand more severe punishments for gun crimes. Finally:
”Right now, it is a very low-grade misdemeanor to possess a weapon with the intent to go armed.
Packing is a serious offense?

I’d like a gun and can’t afford one.
Why are they destroying perfectly good guns!
Isn’t there a government sponsored gun welfare program for the poor? I’ll be the first to sign up!
Let us be the first to start an Adopt-A-Piece Program, so orphaned firearms can find a home….

There’s no such thing as a “perfectly good gun”.
