The pastors must have a boat load of old weapons that they want to turn into cash so they can buy more modern weapons...

Hmm. There is something that all of these people have in common. Besides hating freedom and worshiping 0bama and being idiots. What could it be?

The ‘Frican pastors need to make sweeps of their ‘hoods to collect illegal weapons and get Bammy to come to their ‘hoods to speak to H0lder’s peeps to get them on the straight and narrow.

Criminals love buy-back programs. They don't have to show proof they bought the guns - so they can dump many stolen guns and use the cash to buy a few good one. I suspect the Rev's backing this are part of the black community...

Why don’t these alleged “pastors” put up some of the fleeced flock money if “guns” are such a problem?

My guess is they have done a poor job of “pastoring” their flocks and despite all their “preaching” nothing changes or is it their preaching that causes the “gun” to run out and kill a human.

Forrest was right STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!

Woe unto you preachers!

maybe these preacher boys should be explaining what sin is and the impact of it.

time to hold their congregations accountable for their actions.

>> “There have been far too many senseless shootings in our city, many resulting in homicide.”

Go for the gold then, pastor!

And don’t ever stop to wonder if a “gun buyback” addresses the real problem. Or if it would be effective at reducing gun homicides.

No, asking intellectually honest questions would kill the buzz!

Methinks the pastors should ask for private donations to fund this gun buyback. If their cause is worthy, then they’ll get the support they need. If not, then so be it. We’ve gotta stop the demand for OPM (Other People’s Money) for every cause under the sun. Think something is worthwhile? Spend you own money on it or ask for charity. It’s called morality (something these “pastors” should understand).

Anybody thought about getting them off welfare, raising their kids, giving their kids lasting Christian values, making marriage a staple of their communities, plus policing and cleaning up their neighborhoods?

I have no idea of what the rate of people being shot in Milwaukee is right now, but infants in this neighborhood demographic are dying at a rate of two per week due to their mothers rolling over on them while asleep.

Mark Belling (WISN talk radio host) is the only person saying anything about this.

They can’t do math either. $50,000 is 500 firearms, 250 if they happen to qualify as “assault weapons”, whatever that might mean at the moment. That might cover the Ladies’ Needlepoint Society but I doubt it will make much of a dent in the ‘hood.

Say, I have a better idea. How about turning in the punks you know who are committing all the gun violence. You do realize that criminals commit the violence and one gun, to them, is as good as the next?

Maybe they ought to teach their men to keep their peckers in their pants and their women not to dance like hoochie mamas. Maybe they ought really preach the gospel Jesus Christ and not the gospel of social justice.

They can buy all the guns they want but they will still be up to their butts in barbarians.

As always, these “buy backs” are ridiculous. The only guns that will be turned in are:

1) Guns owned by miguided, non-violent people who would never have used the guns to commit violence anyway, but have been fooled into believing that turning in their guns will somehow reduce violence.

2) Guns brought in by widows who don’t know what to do with their late husbands’ gun collections. They will usually receive only a small fraction of what they could get from a local gun shop.

3) Non working guns owned by thugs and gang members, who will use the money they receive to buy better guns.

4) Stolen guns or guns used in crimes, turned in (for cash) by thugs taking advantage of the “no questions asked” policy.

I believe a “Thug Buy Back Program” would be far more effectivve in reducing violence. Parents or neighbors could bring in local thugs and gang members and exchange them for cash.

I notice that the Pastors are so incredibly ‘fed up’ with the violence, that they're willing to use OTHER people's money for this ill-advised buyback program.

But the violence is not so bad that they're willing to put their own funds behind their idea.

Now I get it. Your compassion is touching, Pastors.
