Our Town Had a Gift Cards for Guns Program Today

The town that I live in had a very well-timed "Gift Cards for Guns" event at a local church. It was planned prior to yesterday's events. Apparently it's gotten to some people. The local radio station interviewed one person who turned in their guns and they admitted that yesterday's events changed their mind.

If one good thing can come out of this, it's that people are finally waking up.

I don't think that they're back into gun shops, anyway.

Many cited the events in Newtown as their reason.
