Post Senseless Waste!!

Here in Oregon we've got a wonderful organization called "Cease Fire Oregon". Every year they have public gun turn ins. For every gun that you give them. Functional or not. They in turn give you a $50.00 grocery store certificate. WOW!!
The photo is of a 1903A1 match rifle and Remington Rand 1911A1 match pistol. Armory built, for entry level unit matches.
An elderly widow of a retired Army Master sergeant. Was going to take these to the turn-in, at the urgings of her son, to "get those disgusting thing out of the house."
She would have gotten $100 worth of over priced groceries for them. They in turn would have been cut up and sold for scrap.

I gave her $200.00 for both. I offered her $400.00. She refused on the grounds that her husband would want someone who appreciated them,to have them. I insisted that she take the $200.00. There is a plan in place to compensate her further.(My wife is sinister. I love it!)

This is the kind of sickening crap that we need to stop. What a terrible waste. Do to ignorant, uninformed people.
Just wanted to get the word out. Ron
