You’ve heard the expression that those who trade their swords for plowshares will plow for those who don’t? Well, it’s true. And that’s if you’re lucky. Enter the far-left All Peoples Unitarian Universalist Church in Kentucky. They’ve held a series of gun “turn-ins” over the past four years in which they accept guns from the dullest members of the community to turn these firearms into art and tools.
They offer their unlicensed and unregulated service as an alternative for short-sighted, not-so-financially adept people as a way to rid themselves of life-saving self-defense tools without going to police buybacks or selling the guns to individuals or gun shops.
See, at police buybacks, stolen guns can be traced back and returned to their rightful owners. A few valuable ones might even be sold at auction to legal gun owners who want them through dealers. To the radical gun-haters at this church, however, returning stolen property to the rightful owners or selling valuable firearms to other law-abiding folks is unconscionable.

The All Peoples Unitarian Church folks apparently take a moment from swilling their box wine to destroy all the guns they receive. Right on the spot.
However, WAVE-TV video footage from their latest event shows them committing multiple felonies, including manufacturing SBRs by sawing off barrels and improperly de-milling receivers.
Folks, no matter how noble your intent, you can’t saw off the barrel of your rifles and shotguns without running afoul of federal gun control laws currently on the books. Doing that is, in essence, manufacturing short-barreled rifles and shotguns. And once you’ve chopped the barrel, it’s then another charge for possessing said SBRs and SBSs. Both earn people long sentences in federal prison.
If you want to “destroy” a receiver in the eyes of the law, I believe you need three (?) quarter-inch wide cuts through the receiver frame, usually done with a torch. Your Home Depot Ridgid chop saw’s blade won’t do it. But it’s all for a good cause, right?
Supposedly these churchy gun-haters in Louisville have duped people into surrendering 88 guns thus far over four events with publicity like this from the local TV station. Why so few? Because the vast majority of Kentucky residents aren’t stupid. They understand that the only thing that stops bad people with evil in their hearts isn’t a garden tool, but a gun.
Here’s an excerpt of the story from WAVE . . .
A Louisville group is giving people another option to get rid of their firearms.
The Guns to Gardens organization breaks down unwanted weapons into tools and art. On Sunday, June 8, the group hosted a safe disposal event at the All Peoples Unitarian Church on Brownsboro Road.
They say they’re trying to give people an alternative to turning firearms over to the police, where they would be auctioned off to somebody else.
“People that come to our events can come anonymously, no questions asked, and they know that the gun is destroyed,” said Guns to Gardens board member Eva Stimson. “It’s no longer a gun, it’s not going to be used to hurt anybody, it’s not a weapon anymore.”
Alleged do-gooders virtue-signaling their desire to live their lives in a world without guns won’t stop criminals or the crimes they commit. Without guns, the strong can and do victimize the weak. That’s always been true and without a radical shift in human nature, it isn’t going to change any time soon.
“far-left All Peoples Unitarian Universalist Church in Kentucky”
Far left groups are cults no matter if you call it ‘church’ or not.
We’ve learned over the last 20 years or so that intentions are all that matter.
Intentions kept David Gregory out of trouble, that last wave of accidental SBR makers just before COVID, all the rioters during COVID, all the CHAZ folks, etc…
Looking at the attempts on Trump and that CEO killer eventually intentions will be enough to excuse murder.
If your intentions align with lefties you get a pass.
*Until you’re no longer useful to them.
Example: Joe Biden. They vehemently defended him for four years. Then he was exposed to some of the Dem electorate and casual voters who were unaware of what had been happening (puppet president). The media suddenly became honest for a few weeks and reported on Joe’s senility until he gave in and said he wouldn’t run.
THEN he was suddenly a hero again. Remember that? But as soon as Trump was sworn in, he became the Left’s scapegoat. They threw him under the bus for a second time. Nothing matters to them except power. Stay useful, or else!
From Wiki…
However, in classical antiquity during the Battle of Marathon, many Persians were slain by a deadly plowshare-wielding ally who appeared suddenly on the side of the ancient Athenians. After their victory and his disappearance, an oracle told the Athenians to worship the hero under the name Echetlaeus: the hero with the “echetlon”, or plowshare.
Someone want to explain to these geniuses that a weapon is whatever I choose to wield as one.
I think I’ll hold on to any pre-plowshares I may own.
True believers understand that focusing on an inanimate object is utter folly and does nothing to alleviate the evil or convert the user’s heart or mind.
