“We’re tired of hearing the tragedies of both violence and accidents and kids getting guns and shooting other kids,” says Pastor John Jenkins.
The churches raised more than $30,000 to provide gift cards used to exchange handguns, rifles and shotguns, which are slated for destruction. So many people showed up, the church was forced to restock its supply of gift cards.

criminals will not turn in thier guns
unless its to destroy evidence
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The only people that will benefit from this will be the criminal. We are just like Germany in 1935. They first disarmed the citizens before the German Socialist (Nazi's) came to power. I for one will be keeping my weapons. My dogs will be the first defense, and then my shotgun, crossbow, and baseball bat I have by each door. I will not allow myself or my family to be a victim of this criminal government!
4:49 the sheeple don't understand. You have to be a student of history to not repeat it!
Can I cut some out of paper and pop tarts and get money?
Just another glaring example of how SCREWED UP organized religion is. These idiot do gooders actually raised money to work against the 2nd amendment. Hey idiots...there are homeless and hungry people up there. Bible thumping morons.
5:31 PM you may get invited to the WH. On second thought, probably not it works for some but not for all.
It's hard to believe people would give up personal protection for a friggin gift card.
Obama lover.
8:12 what the heck are you talking about?
Never underestimate the profound stupidity amd sometimes desperation of sheeple.
Ve Vill remoof your guns one vay or another.
None of those in the photo look particularly noteworthy except that they are old and probably could still kill someone.
Disarming america.
I wonder how many of those guns were actually legal guns. Most will just go out and steal another one. Meanwhile they have cash in their pockets for today.
