Of angle grinders and plowshares

From the same global wireline networks giving our NSA heartburn comes this gem:
http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/1 ... your-guns/
I fully support, without endorsing or understanding, anyone's right to demilitarize with prejudice his implements of freedom, and in this case I also breathe a sigh of relief.
Nowhere in his diatribe did he mention clearing the weapon before grinding his poor guileless pistol into bits, or the use of safety glasses or hearing protection during his labors. That is a bad example for our children.
My eyebrows rightfully arch at the thought of anyone unschooled in basic safety in possession of an intact gun.
That danger is past, at least until another gun (or angle grinder) can infiltrate his happy home. At which time, logic says, he and his kids need to know a little more about basic safety.
And if we want to make jokes - and I've certainly had unworthy thoughts I'll keep to myself about comparing voluntary gun destruction to, say, adult diaper fetishes - we should also recognize there is hope for this guy. With a little education he could be a good, if helpless, citizen.
After all, he says he sent in the paperwork to show his gun was destroyed.
And we all know that when sheep turn their guns into junk, only criminal sheep will have unregistered junk.
