The United Methodist Church in South Carolina is joining with law enforcers in demanding gun owners “giveback” their guns, as if the church and the cops were the ones who sold the guns in the first place!

For an even more glaring example of arrogance and ignorance, the organizers of the gun “giveback day” seem to think giving the gun owner a “Peace Lily” in exchange is fair compensation!

Also, the Christian organizers said they had never heard of gun buyback and giveback ops until after the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting.  Holy crap, where have they been, in a hole?  The history of decades of buyback programs prove they are total failures.  In fact most of those guns turned in are already stolen, or illegal, or pieces of crap not even worth the money paid for them.

And I’m really sick of these people who call them buybacks and givebacks, because it implies the officials running those programs are the ones who sold the guns in the first place.
