and it’s tame compared to scientology. Elron devised a cynical, authoritarian cult designed to gather money to the center, him. There is a persistent rumor that it was the result of a bar bet as to whether he could create a world religion in a short timeframe.

More than 3,000 guns exchanged in New York in gift card exchange
More than 3,000 guns, including over 180 assault rifles and more than 1,650 hand guns, were handed over in one day in New York over the weekend, with the state hosting gun buyback events in exchange for gift cards.
The collection of more than 3,000 guns on Sunday included 185 assault rifles, 1,656 handguns, and 823 long guns, according to New York Attorney General Letitia James. It continues an effort from James and state law enforcement to curb gun violence.
There were nine gun buyback events held in the state at the same time on Sunday, marking the most aggressive buyback effort in the state yet. James said since 2019, her office has removed over 7,000 guns from communities in New York.
“Gun violence has caused so many avoidable tragedies and robbed us of so many innocent New Yorkers,” James said in a statement.
The state announced the events earlier this month, saying it would accept both working and nonworking unloaded firearms in exchange for gift cards with “no questions asked.”
Crime in New York City has been cast into the national spotlight as House Republicans in Washington have tried to zero in on the issue as an example of Democratic mismanagement in large cities. The House Judiciary Committee held a field hearing in New York City earlier this month, focusing on the “victims of violent crime in Manhattan.”
In 2021, New York was among five states with the lowest rate of gun-related deaths, according to the Pew Research Center. States with the highest rate of gun-related deaths included Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, Alabama and Wyoming.
The gun buybacks also come as shooting violence in the U.S. has made national headlines over the last few months, including mass shootings in Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. The tragedies have reignited a familiar debate in the U.S. over gun control.

I suppose anything that reduces the numbers of guns, but federal annual taxation of handguns and registration for the purposes of taxation would work better. Don't want to pay the registration and annual tax? Then drop off the gun and avoid the taxes, if it is a valuable gun, then they get $100, if it is a cheap gun they get nothing.More than 3,000 guns exchanged in New York in gift card exchange

More than you love school kids it would appear. It doesn't look very useful for hunting and in a couple of years will probably be made illegal with no buy back or if one is offered it will be a fraction of what you paid for it.
You posted it in a mass shooting thread, do you intend to use it in a mass shooting? Seems that would be about it's only use.
It is expensive to be so afraid, isn't it?

Sometime ya just got to shit on fools and psychos, but I take your point and will make sunni's job easier. Only a fool would post such a thing to a mass shooting thread, with 1.5 mass shootings a day so far this year. It's a Helluva price to pay for shits and giggles.

I wonder if our new contestant is a “prepper”.
The one conceivable use for either gun, but especially the pistol, is for house-to-house military combat.
The only scenario in which our gravy seal might find himself in such a situation is in a postapocalyptic world, securing what’s left of the Walmart against rival “militia”.

I dunno. The upper one could be right handy if fitted with a top-notch suppressor, right until the specialist ammo runs out.
The lower one is a fetish. In the dictionary sense:
an inanimate object worshiped for its supposed magical powers or because it is considered to be inhabited by a spirit.

Victimize the victims and immediacy arrest and deport the surviving family members, because "he's a good Christian man" just like Donald Trump!
Yep, I can just imagine these "Christians" at the pearly gates, the response would be, "get the fuck outta here bigot yer disturbing the black folks". That's why real Christians have to attain a state of "grace", before they can get into heaven, because it would not be heaven if filled with bigoted and hate filled assholes, would it? Jimmy Carter is such a Christian, but very few who claim to be, are actual Christians, and these evil self-deluded assholes give guys like Jimmy a bad name.

Search for Missing Oklahoma Teens Leads to Seven Bodies
apnews.com
Okmulgee County Sheriff Eddy Rice said Monday that the bodies found near the town of Henryetta, were believed to include those of two missing teens, Ivy Webster, 14, and Brittany Brewer, 16, along with McFadden, the felon with whom authorities said the teens had been traveling. But Rice said the state medical examiner would have to confirm the victims’ identities.
“We are no longer looking,” Rice said Monday morning, adding: “Our hearts go out to the families and friends, schoolmates and everyone else.”
RIP
The guy was due to appear at another trial over yet more sex offenses:
Court records show McFadden was scheduled to appear in court Monday for the start of a jury trial on charges of soliciting sexual conduct with a minor and possession of child pornography. A message left Monday evening with McFadden’s attorney in that case was not immediately returned.
According to Oklahoma Law, anybody convicted of a felony cannot legally own a firearm. This was preventable. McFadden had been convicted of first degree rape in a prior case. If people had been aware of his conviction and reported to the authorities that McFadden possessed a gun(s) he wouldn't have been free and able to murder those people. Criminals owning guns is not specific to Oklahoma. In most states, it's not hard for a convicted felon to purchase a gun via the gun-show loophole. Closing that loophole is a lot harder. That said, that he was due to appear for a trial over yet another sex offense, One would think that a search of his property for firearms might have been warranted.

With so many shootings and so much gunfire to be investigated, it doesn't leave much time for anything else, in many places the cops are overwhelmed with gun related deaths and assaults. In some of these red states every second home has a gun, so they just break into a few while the owners are at work and getting armed is not an issue, no need to even buy a gun.Search for Missing Oklahoma Teens Leads to Seven Bodies

I don’t recall the year, but I DO recall Elroy speaking to an SFWA convention*. His speech was a long diatribe against editors & the companies who hired editors & bought fiction (science fiction, specifically), against the penny-a-word, work-for-hire BS…and capped it all by saying something like ‘let’s face it - if we want to be paid what we’re worth, we shout stop writing - and start a religion.and it’s tame compared to scientology. Elron devised a cynical, authoritarian cult designed to gather money to the center, him. There is a persistent rumor that it was the result of a bar bet as to whether he could create a world religion in a short timeframe.
