    Oh Yeez of little faiths
    There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

    When us damn grandchildren arrived in the 80s, my grandmother felt it was no longer safe to have guns in their house when we visited. Much to my grandfather's, father's, and now my dismay, she waited til my grandfather was at work. Called the local cops and said she wanted to turn in the guns. There went his .45 from the war, and also a .25 Colt and some revolver. Something tells me they were not melted down. Probably didn't even make it back to the station.

    I am not a fan of the gun buy backs, but we don*t have to drag guns out of evidence. The photo op part is true. From what I heard Josh Shapiro appeared.

    Over 100, according to the story.

    There are a bunch of sad looking long guns which are unlikely to have been involved in crimes. But the handguns are in the background and condition is a guess. My guess is nobody turned in a decent pistol for a $100 grocery card. They can shoplift that amount with impunity under Krasner.

    I'm not a fan of gun owners contributing to the photo op which is touted as a success for having removed "all these guns" from "the streets".

    I just can't wrap my head around HELPING these anti-gun people.
