I see they're getting the guns from criminals and gang thugs. [not]
The church and [political] organization most have become is exactly why I won't step foot into a 'House of God' to practice my religion. I'll keep things between the Lord and myself just that; between the two of us. I practice my politics on FR and the voting booth among other places.
No Bible-thumping collection plate phony is going to dupe this "Gun" into taking politically charged action, disguised as being part of the religion, that furthers an anti-liberty agenda.
Wait a minute, was that last statement about this church or the Muslim extremists who attack[ed] us??

The church in the middle of the infamous Near North Side public housing complexDemocrats with guns is a frightening thought. As long as they want to turn theirs in, God bless 'em. I'll hang on to ours, though.

Johnson said three of the guns he collected were turned in loadedThose people are obviously better off not having guns (and we are better off for it, too--people who do't know #### about gun safety should not have them; if they've reached middle age while owning them without bothering to learn, they're lost causes).

Democrats with guns is a frightening thought I know what you mean but to rephrase it, What's more frightening to Democrats/Communists is NonDemocrats with guns. When the Democrats/Communists take over the government by ignoring the laws that were passed in the past then they have something to worry about. I'll say it's happening already: case in point is the gays and lesbians marrying each other and being sanctioned by the liberal judges even though the laws state otherwise.

And when one of these guns is found to be a murder weapon...........what then? I'm sure the Chicago Police Dept community policing unit will be careful to not investigate that possiblity.

You're probably right, it's ok to want the names of gun buyers kept in a list but an intrusion on privacy for a murderer to turn in a murder weapon, invasion of the confessional etc.
I was confuse for a moment.

This doesn't bother me too much - anyone who would voluntarily turn in a gun is probably:
-a criminal dipsosing of evidence - good! we obviously didn't catch him anyway and now he's less armed.
-getting rid of defective equipment - again, good!
-stupid, which is fine with me. stupid people without guns are less dangerious.
Or all three!

Democrats with guns is a frightening thought. I agree. The reason liberals are so afraid of guns is because they know that they, themselves, don't have the mental stability to be responsible with guns. I applaud their self awareness about this. Given that, it is ashame that they can't perceive that everyone is not irresponsible like they are.

"The blessing is that these individuals felt the need to want to turn in their guns, with no incentives," Johnson said OK, I've turned my guns "in".. they are either facing the interior of the
house or the interior of the truck. How does this help? Can I have an incentive?

Texas gun owners can turn their guns in at the Eaker Compound.
I am not hard to find and I will treat said guns the way that they should be treated.
