Gas for Guns? I don’t think so, Skippy.
The following story, from MyWay News, is enough to make a girl want to shoot something cry. Please tell me no one is foolish enough to turn in a $400 gun in exchange for a $100 gas card!
CLEVELAND (AP) - Armed residents can give up their guns and get gasoline cards worth $100 at the pump. The first 450 people who show up at Cleveland’s convention center Saturday and surrender a working handgun will receive a card.
Police, who will be at the center to ensure the guns are turned in safely, asked for the weapons to be brought in unloaded and in a clear plastic bag.
The city has recorded 119 homicides so far this year - the same number for all of 2006.
Gasoline prices have surged in recent weeks, with the statewide average for a gallon of regular gas at $3.07 last weekend, 25 cents more than Oct. 22.
I hope the people of Cleveland are aware enough to see this for what it is: the Nanny State trying to bribe the peasantry into giving up their rights.
Hell, if it is a twenty five buck Sat night special go for it but most any hand gun now is worth more than a hundred bucks..
