If you really want to impress the media by getting rid of your gun to prove a point, the bar’s been set: at the very least, you have to saw your AR-15 in half on video to capture the attention of ABC News.
That said, there are smaller scale stories of gun surrender out there, like this one that’s been making the rounds on Twitter for a couple of days:
My kids learned about Parkland today at school.
After dinner my 9yo climbed onto my lap & asked if we own guns. I told her the truth. We do have one.
She started crying & said “Please let’s don’t anymore.”
We just got home from the police dept where together we got rid of it.

That is the most pathetically phony story I've ever read.
Stop watching so much TV. https://t.co/0u1K5Kn4bV

Your timeline is wall-to-wall anti-gun, but now, all of a sudden, you have a gun! But your woke 9yo said no daddy, stop, so you got rid of it.
The "woke kid" stories got old a long time ago. If you want to lie about something, be more creative next time. https://t.co/smBVIoN1tm

While I highly doubt this virtue signaling story is true, I have a response.
If my daughter were that upset about us having a gun, I'd take the time to actually talk to my kid about guns. Explain that we have our gun to protect our family, and teach safety and respect, not fear. https://t.co/5RrgvcX3p5

So, your first educational thought is to teach your daughter to give up something she has a right to possess, to the government?
I spoke with mine about right and wrong; and why we have a gun for protection from those that weren't taught right from wrong.
But hey, you do you. https://t.co/bjchsklCv9

I see an opportunity to teach about firearm safety and handling. But whatever floats your boat. https://t.co/24vsGFl3RI

Hey, we’re not saying it didn’t happen, and we’re not going to make fun of the guy — if you don’t think you should own a gun, by all means, don’t.

So not only did you give up your right and ability to protect your home and family should home invaders come busting through your door, you advertised it and made yourself and your family a target.
You want us to applaud that? https://t.co/bysNL3O9HH

That hasn’t stopped other people from sharing stories about their super-woke families, though.

My daughter learned about Parkland at school.
After dinner, she asked if we could go to the shooting range and use those Kim Jong Un posters they sell there.
When we got home, we ate Girl Scout cookies and laughed and laughed. https://t.co/pBV3hYPZWv

My kids saw a car crash video on YouTube yesterday.
After dinner my 9yo climbed onto my lap & asked if that could happen to us. She started crying.
We just got home from the junkyard. It was a long walk. https://t.co/LQaMdL9vd4

I remember when my 2 year old found out about the shooting. He crawled over to me and say in my lap.
He removed the pipe from his mouth, furrowed his brow and said "please father we must rid ourselves, and this country, of these deplorable and barbaric weapons immediately" https://t.co/VyuZpU1Pt8

Now put a sign on your lawn declaring that your home is unprotected.
For the kids. https://t.co/CgIfXUzNbn
