Breitbart.com<\/a> posted an article yesterday about a turn-in program for ‘unwanted guns’ in Greensboro, North Carolina<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On November 10, the Greensboro Police Department make the following announcement on Facebook<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Greensboro police are asking at least 1,000 residents of the Gate City<\/a> to show their commitment to safety by signing a \u201cPledge of Nonviolence\u201d this Saturday, Nov. 14 at Destiny Christian Center, 2401 Randleman Rd. from 9 am to 3 pm.\u00a0At the same event, gun owners can safely turn in unwanted firearms from their homes.\u00a0Police employees will be accepting handguns, rifles, shotguns, and ammunition at the event. This is not a buy-back program. No cash will be given in exchange for weapons voluntarily surrendered to police.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The pledge and the opportunity to turn in weapons are spurred, in part, by an increase in gun violence<\/a>. This year compared to last, gun violence has increased 68%. The term \u2018gun violence\u2019 includes any crimes against people in which weapons were used, and shootings into occupied dwellings. An incident can be classified as gun violence even if no one was injured.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One knife and a BB gun<\/a> pistol that resembled a real gun were turned in. Also, almost 1,000 people did sign the “Pledge of Nonviolence” which was made available to be signed during the event.<\/p>\n

Remember, France<\/a> has some of the strictest gun laws in the world, yet the bad guys were able to buy guns. The good guys followed the law and were unarmed. A few good marksmen carrying guns in the theater might have made a big difference.<\/p>\n
