One lesson that we’re hoping congressional candidate Karen Mallard learned regarding virtue signaling by getting rid of your unwanted AR-15 is not to saw off the barrel on video and leave the weapon functioning — that’s a no-no.
Better to turn in the weapon to the police station, as this man did — with pictures to prove it:
This is my @lwrci M6 AR-15 that I purchased back in 2011. This is also me turning my AR into police to have it destroyed.
No civilian should be able to own an AR or any type of weapon of war like it. #VetsForGunReform #gunviolence #GunReformNow #NRA pic.twitter.com/nQ1iO1w54V

No, they just melt them down right there at the police station.
Some states require police departments to sell them at auction and not destroy them. At least that is what I read

I verified with mine before and stressed I wouldn’t turn it over unless the confirmed it would be destroyed. So I’m confident it will be.

Genuine question, do you feel you or a member of your family may use that gun in an illegal manner? If not then I am a little confused why it should have been destroyed? Unless you never plan to shoot down a range ever again.

I would have been a hypocrite if I’d have kept it while railing against the idea of having one. I wanted it destroyed so no one else could use it. It’s a moral and ethical decision. One more people should make.

Yeah, nope.
Good for you. I choose to have AND KEEP my AR. I am a civilian and it's the gun I'm most comfortable with. https://t.co/qY8glhVdxv

In the future if anyone would like to destroy their AR just ship it to me and I'll take care of it for ya https://t.co/6qlBwxlDHE

We’ve said it before: anyone who owns a gun and thinks they shouldn’t — either they don’t trust themselves with it or are careless enough to let it fall into the wrong hands — get rid of it by all means. And let the rest of Americans enjoy their right to keep and bear arms.

First the oath you took when you were in the military said to defend the Constitution which protects people's rights to own that rifle.
Second, EVERY gun is a weapon of war. ALL of them.
Destroying your rifle is just a sad form of virtue signaling. https://t.co/4He9xp1ga5

Lighten up, Francis … we’re happy he doesn’t have an AR-15 anymore. Especially that one.

Notice how all it is is a pistol with some added parts? It's not a big deal. https://t.co/J3GA6LEF4f

It's one thing to choose to put the responsibility for defending your family on others. Personal choice. Disagree but ok. Another entirely to advocate depriving me of that right. Not ok. https://t.co/UFdxXxal0d

I respect your decision. Now respect the opposite as well… https://t.co/3A4gC0wv23

Sorry, but this guy still hasn’t topped the man who sawed his AR-15 in half on YouTube. If you’re going to virtue signal, do it up right.
