Rick Notkin: Questioning the safety, appeal of Guns to Garden event

To The Daily Sun,

I just read the reprinted piece on Guns to Garden (June 5) and I have some thoughts.

I'm not sure why a person who no longer wants a firearm wouldn't try to make some cash by selling it to a gun shop.

With the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' new rules, it looks like this event constitutes dealing without a federal license.

How do we know that the volunteers aren't prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal or state law? Holding it in your hands is possessing.

Will the chop saw operator "disable" the firearm legally? I recall a virtue-signaler disabling his firearm by first cutting the barrel, thus making a short barreled rifle, improper possession of which is a federal felony.

Considering the United Methodist Church started the Coalition to Ban Handguns in 1974, their preferred ends justify their means.
