Your tax dollars at work

Including $1,000 from the Glynn County Police Department, the city has spent $3,000 in its gun bounty program to recover seven weapons including the SKS and an AK-47 semi-automatic assault rifles, a sawed-off .22-caliber rifle and five handguns, county and city police officials said.

I put the value of theose weapons at about half of what's been spent to recover them, not including the wages and other daily expenses associated with getting them "off the streets". Oh, and that SKS was referred to as an "assault rifle", of course. Florida is still in full PSH mode in this area.

This guys is either an idiot or a liar.

The AK 47 was illegal for any civilian to own until 2004 when the Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired.

This guy's OK.

Any weapon that can galvanize one group to implement blanket restrictions and another to ante up four figures to win it, I had to see for myself.

I wish more people thought as you do.

Not once did I pull the trigger in anger, and my uninformed newbie questions didn’t seem to scare anybody.

Guns don't exhibit mind control, and gun loving folks aren't nasty, uneducated rednecks? Please tell the Brady Bunch that, please. Please.

To defuse the slogan, people alone don’t kill people any more than guns do. Unbalanced and untrained people with access to guns kill people.

Good point

Personally, the world I inhabit sits between the weapon-free, Coke-and-a-smile one and the one where everybody sleeps with one eye open.

That's where normal-thinking people reside, I reckon.

I’ll file my own trip to the range under “trying a new hobby” rather than “preserving fundamental rights.” But I won’t clink champagne glasses with politicians who think outlawing weapons like that means any kind of victory.

That's where normal-thinking people reside. Wait, I already said that. It is just a hobby, after all. Keep that in mind when someone wants to take your hobby away from you.
