If I had any guns . . .

[Brigid]

I swear I would take them to my nearest police precinct right now and tell them to melt the damned things down. You gotta start somewhere. I really believe that this is the time for this country to rise up and deal with the issue of gun violence in this country. Do it now. Obama knows it's time, and so should we.

1. Buy some guns and then turn them in

What you describe is a mere gesture so it can be done unilaterally.

3. Not a bad idea.

I would have no trouble buying one, because I have no criminal record and no history of mental illness. I could get a used one, so that the gun manufacturers wouldn't profit.

2. We bought a BB gun for our son for Christmas...

I've been so torn up over this entire mess that I've not taken it from the closet to wrap. I don't even want to touch it let alone see my son handling it. I know it's only a BB gun, but I'm overly emotional about this.

Maybe after the holidays I'll get through this. His birthday is in Feb.

4. Go buy some and then destroy them.

The country could use the economic stimulus anyway.
