Gas for Guns
More at link:BATON ROUGE, LA. — Four Baton Rouge churches will be offering more than spiritual counseling and messages for redemption next week. They'll be handing out gas cards to anyone who turns in a handgun or assault weapon.
Trade your gun for a gasoline gift card in La. | clarionledger.com | The Clarion-Ledger.
Why not "Gas for turning in the dirtbag that committed a gun crime"?*************************"It wouldn't take much for me to up and run...to another life somewhere in the sun."

don't even get me started on this dumb ass promotion... - "let's give the criminals money for turning in stolen weapons..." and not use the money that was DONATED towards funding some overtime or grant-like projects to go throw their asses in jail...
it's funny how money can get donated for this and not for overtime and projects - whether for the PD or the DA's office...
told ya, don't get me started...
but hey, I guess it's better than nothing =/-=Twan007

I dint understand what they intend to accomplish. Gangbangers aren't about to turn in their guns in. when they can sell it on the street for a lot more than a $50.00 gas card. The people that will be turning in the weapons will be the dirt poor folk that cant afford milk.
The press will show a few pics of the stack of evil guns taken off the street, officials will get that feel good press moment they can use come election time.What part of "the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" don't you understand?
