Prince George’s County Police collected 150 guns, surrendered voluntarily today, at the county’s Gifts for Guns event.
The previously scheduled event took on new meaning for some, just one day after the shooting tragedy at the Sandy Hood Elementary School in Connecticut. Many dropping off their guns said they felt inspired to do so after the massacre which left so many dead in Connecticut.
Cindy Parker, who has owned guns for years, made the decision last night to turn them in today after watching the news yesterday on TV.
“Yesterday was a really sad day,” Parker said today at the event, “Just a horrible incident and in light of the other incidents that have occurred in recent years, early last year in this nation, it really brought to light that guns need to be out of people hands.”

I agree with Cindy Parker. She is too stupid to own a gun.
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
