    ONE LESS: Scott Pappalardo owned his AR-15 rifle for more than 30 years. He even has a Second Amendment tattoo on his arm. This weekend, he destroyed his gun “to make sure this weapon will never be able to take a life.” http://abcn.ws/2Gton2y pic.twitter.com/lD8hHOsiX6

        But why do you need such a gun, or any gun for that matter? You have seen what guns do in the USA? Why don't end this?

        well I run a business in a city that sees a lot of shootings and robberies, so, protection? Or is it more social justice to let them rob/shoot me?

        you mean the clean-up crew that will be by 10mins after your dead? lmfao. Why do you rely on the police so dearly.... is it because they have guns?

        No, in my country most policeman don't carry guns. But I do trust in a democratic principle where the people I voted for uphold the law and not some random person with a gun taking matters into their own hands.

        The problem is not that you have that weapon, the problem is when the weapon is in the wrong hands. If you are a good guy who respect life and can carry a gun at the same time, where is the problem then?

        Because sometimes the good guys who buy the guns change. Life throws them a curve-ball, they lose their job or their wife or their willingness to live, a weapon once bought for protection easily becomes one for destruction.

        What he just did was create a short barreled rifle which is an NFA regulated item. Without the proper paperwork what he just did is a felony.

        The gun would have easily outlived this man so it was going to end up in other potentially less careful user

        He symbolically did a great thing but the U.S market is flooded with guns. He destroyed 1 but there is 100 to replace it being manufactured every day. The only thing that can change things is policy initiatives for gun control.

        Of course uncle Ben, gun control is absolutely necessary, but this video went viral, it can influence other people to do the same or even better, to stop buying new guns
