If you're standing in my home with a gun, trying to steal $200 chances are you're not going to shoot me. Guns, are used by criminals to scare their victims as well as give them a sense of superiority( it works.) Chances are a criminal is not going to shoot you unless he is there to do just that. At which point any weapon in a closed space is your friend. Personally, if a criminal came in my house with a gun I'd rather hit him with a taser, or a bat have him captured and tried for attempted murder. Broke into my home, in the night with a gun. Pretty easy to get him locked up with a bunch of sweaty angry horny men that will rape the bejeezes out of him. I'd much rather sleep cozy knowing he's in the closest place to hell on earth, than resting peacefully in the dirt.
Besides, haven't there been court cases of criminals getting hurt in peoples homes then suing the pants off them? Why risk shooting him, and having him say he thought he saw someone break in to my home and was trying to investigate. Not worth it if you ask me.

In some of the pictures I seen some well built side by sides, and semi auto shotguns.
From reports, a lot of them are their parent’s and grandparent’s guns.
I know there is a whole fleet of parents, and grandparents that are spinning in their graves right now.
SKS Chinese

I looked at a lot of pictures and mostly I saw older bolt action small caliber rifles and old SKS Chinese and a bunch of auto shot guns with a vast majority of hand guns that look like real old police .32 revolvers.
My two cents on this is the vast majority of those guns would not get 200 bucks if they tried to sell them, so it was a good move to sell at 200, plus how many even actually worked? Getting the old revolvers off the streets was good since that would be what a poor petty criminal would most likely afford.

Now criminals in those cities can barge right into homes confident that they won't be shot, point a gun at these people and steal their $200. Perfect!
For me, it doesn't matter who gets shot by alleged lunatic lone gunmen. That only makes me want to protect myself more. No amount of victims will change my mind about that.

So? Your article is from an extreme right wing propaganda site. No one is forcing anyone to turn in their guns.
I really don't see anything wrong with this.

People taking their grandparents, and great grandparents stuff in to get chopped up to get an extra 200, just makes me want to scream.
