When Jonathan Pring posted images on Facebook showing the moment he went from being a current gun owner to a former gun owner, he knew he’d get some response.

What he didn’t expect was for the post to go viral.

"I didn't wake up yesterday planning to become the local Phoenix poster child for the American gun debate,” Pring said.

The pictures show Pring willingly handing over his firearms, which included a machine gun and a pistol, to a uniformed Phoenix police officer in the living room of his Phoenix home.

Pring, who’s a dual citizen of the U.S. and Great Britain, said he called the department’s non-emergency number asking to hand over his guns to them after watching the horror unfold in Las Vegas this week.

I don’t understand this duel citizenship crap. If you are not willing to give up your citizenship in your home country you should not be granted citizenship in the USA

Just HAD to do it in front of a camera, did we? Nothing like ADVERTISING your own gullible stupidity; not to mention your new powerlessness, and vulnerability to be robbed, or worse, by any thug who has the inclination. Pring! Now THERE’s a stalwart-sounding name./NOT!

No the point is that, like you, he virtue signaled about what a great person he was for getting rid of his guns. Then whines when people call him out for his hypocrisy and assault on their rights.

For the man who’s prayed in public as surely earned his reward.

Maybe he needs to get a gun for protection...

If Mr. Jughead thinks a 10/22 is a “machine gun”, it’s probably just as well that he doesn’t have any guns.

Not sure if your misspelling of dual was intentional, but it is more fitting.

I haven’t watched the video yet, but does this not sound like a contrived plan by a Leftist non-gun owner to get real gun owners to give up their guns!?

Yep, knew it was going to be a 22.

Hey, all robbers, Mr. Pring has no defense.

Just watched the video.. So how does handing over his guns protect his family, unless he himself is a violent maniac. What an IDIOT! Now he can’t protect anyone!

People were doing this back in 1968 after the murder of Bobby Kennedy, when the MSM stirred up an anti-gun hysteria.
One fool family gave up their guns, then wrote letters to various newspapers and magazines bragging about it, and claiming they were living in terror of their still gun owning neighbors.

Kids were encouraged to give up their toy guns. Good adult, but safe for kids, TV shows dumbed down to kiddie shows. Movies on TV were butchered to remove all violence. Only the theater movies got a pass when they said they would “police themselves” with a joke of a ratings system. So they reshot scenes and added more violence and sex to get the then coveted “R” rating.

I’ve seen those yard signs, but the winner that made stop and stare in disbelief was a bumper sticker in a retirement home parking lot that said, “I am unarmed. Please don’t hurt me.”

ROFL! Literally! My dog was wondering what was going on because I was cracking up. :)

Have a great day, FRiend! :)

Younger than 18.

True. In the old days when kids would take their .22 rifle to school and lean it against the back wall so they could hunt for food on the way home are gone but the need for teaching young people proper firearm usage. In the local high schools there are shooting programs but I don't live in a city.

However, you may be onto something. I bet there are people who will pay for such signs.

Years ago in Denver, at a Million Moms counter-protest, someone had some very nice professionally printed yard signs saying just that, and was offering them free to libs leaving the Million Moms march. Had no takers. Wonder why?
