UPPER MARLBORO, Md. — On Saturday, Prince George’s County police partnered with First Baptist Church of Glenarden, in Upper Marlboro, and its sister church Zion, in Landover, to remove guns from the community.

“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.

    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!

    None of those in the photo look particularly noteworthy except that they are old and probably could still kill someone.

    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.
