We’ve seen non-violence movements in the United States before and the recent efforts of the Greensboro Police Department at their non-violence event is no different but the question is will average citizens handing in their guns actually make a difference with violence in the community?
“Violence is on the rise somewhat in our community,” Deputy Police Chief James Hinson told WXII-TV. “A lot of that violence is centered on handguns and aggravated assaults. And the ultimate goal is to reduce violence in our community so that our citizens can feel safe when they go out and just continue to improve the overall image of our city.”
Will the average citizen actually “feel” safer without a weapon especially if they are attacked in their home by an intruder?
Residents who were unable to attend the non-violence event can still hand over their guns to the local police department, even anonymously.
One can only hope that citizens of Greensboro know what they are doing especially considering the increase in violence in countries around the world, like England, where citizens are not allowed to own guns while violence there is increasing each year.

How many criminals turned theirs in
I would pledge to give them my bullets, one at a time……ASSHOLES
Now there is a neighborhood less able to defend themselves. I am pretty sure the local criminals are glad to hear this and will be visiting soon.
I pledge allegiance to the flag and the Constitution of the United States of America … YOU can go$#%&!@*yourself!!
my thoughts exactly Edward
There you go. Don’t enforce the law, don’t support the constitution. Hide under something,,,,,,works every time a criminal is involved. By the way, the incoming refugees may need some training in this new cowardly act.
Yeah that’s why I’ve been posting and talking about all this c**p. Bad thing is most folks think nothing will happen and things are fine
