Better make it a white rose

Better make it a white rose for your grave.

I normally try to be extremely polite; howsomever, these people in SC can go to blazes.

This reminds me, I haven't checked the local pawn shop for a pistol lately. Thanks.

You got to be kidding

Umm...one loaf of bread won't exactly cut it! Do you even

REALIZE how many loaves of bread you could get for the price of a gun??? That's a TERRIBLE exchange!! Never mind the fact that you can no longer defend yourself!!

In need of an argument? Visit room 12!

Freedom is only for those with the guts to defend it!

Holy Shi*.... he was kidding.

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

They had one of these here before & pawnshops scammed 'em.

It's commical really.

..But the scam is that the pawnshops figured out how to use this to rid their shops of the guns that nobody would buy, and make a little money.

Rumor has it they had village idiots stand in line and turn in non-working guns & guns that no-one would otherwise buy. And those people would split the profit with the pawnshops whatever reward they got for turning it over.

Ofcourse the people putting on show used this as propaganda that they were taking 100s of guns off the streets, when in reality it was poor people willing to stand in line to make a quick buck for the pawnshops, and they took 0 guns off the street.

Nobody in their right mind would turn in their guns for roses, everyone here should know that! And be skeptical that the guns that were turned in here may be of non-working condition & possibly from pawnshops.

Turn in the gun and confront the criminals

with the thorny stem of a rose? I still think the gun would be more effective.

Thanks but no thanks

I can see it now! Don't come near me, I got a rose and I ain't

afraid to use it!

The article says, "Cowan

The article says, "Cowan said the idea was spawned in part by Columbia Police Chief T.P. Carter and Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, who has made headlines recently for investigating Michael Phelps after a photo surfaced showing the Olympic swimming champion smoking a marijuana pipe."

Where did our country go? :(

Poetry

I open-carried my pistol while dumpster-diving at two florists today. I gleaned two boxes of long-stem American Beauty roses (composted the brown ones, kept 200+ perfect roses!) and a Jeep-load of other flowers. Perfect for drying/crafts, otherwise, excellent compost. My home smells wonderful!

I could have kept going, believe me- but I had to get home and make breakfast for the family.

Dumpster diving is becoming more hazardous & cut-throat these days, hence the firearm. But it made my day to read this article, knowing that I wore mine while gleaning a boatload of free roses...
:)

More people trying to rob you at the dumpster??

I suppose the Columbia P.D.

I suppose the Columbia P.D. doesn't care if the crime level increases and they endanger themselves and the public with silly schemes like this.

In regards to personal safety I'll take 2 well-trained, well-armed neighbors over the police who are 10-20 minutes away any day.

Nothing to see here...

...just more mental conditioning. Back to work, slaves! :)

What's a few roses among friends?

A few hundred anyway. WAY MORE than a stupid rose!!

The SC police should auction

The SC police should auction the guns off to those who want them in order to help raise money for lowering the state tax burden on taxpayers.

what a bogus trade.

what a bogus trade.

100 Bucks for a handgun

Wonder how many of the guns exchanged were stolen just to receive a $100 gift card? Its nice to think that the cops may have paid for stolen goods

Gun Control

Shotgun preteen vs. illegal alien Home Invaders:
Butte, Montana

Two illegal aliens, Raphael Resindez, 23, and Enrico
Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower
home-alone 11 year old Patricia Harrington, after her
father had left their two-story home.

It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were
in Montana and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion
since she was nine.

Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke
through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her
father's room and grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg 500
shotgun.

Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only
to be the first to catch a near point blank blast
of buckshot from the 11-year-old's knee-crouch aim. He
suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals.

When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast
to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where
he bled to death before medical help could arrive.

It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a
stolen .45 caliber handgun he took from another home
invasion robbery..

That victim, 50-year-old David Burien, was not so lucky.
He died from stab wounds to the chest.

Ever wonder why good stuff never makes NBC, CBS, PBS,
MSNBC, CNN, or ABC news? ........ An 11 year old girl,
properly trained, defended her home, and herself .....
against two murderous, illegal immigrants ....... and she
wins, she is still alive.

Now that is Gun Control !!!

Thought for the day:

Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented
immigrant", is like calling a drug dealer an
"unlicensed pharmacist"!

it's a great story. ...but

it's a great story. ...but i'm pretty sure that it's a complete work of fiction. i've seen different versions of it posted and emailed.

Wish It Were True...

... but there's no concrete evidence to support the story.

good post!

good post!

Anyone dumb enough

to turn in a $200+ firearm for a $2 rose shouldn't own a gun! Duh..

On top of that, I think the media is lying. There's no way 75 people are that stupid..
