If a gun buyback falls flat on its face, does it make a noise? It does if it’s in Bradenton, Florida. At least it does in the opinion of Rev. Bill Parker, associate pastor of the New Life General Baptist Church. With contributions from the Palmetto Police and the Palmetto Community Redevelopment Agency (your tax dollars at work!) the church was offering $50 Visa gift cards for every heater hauled in…
Only no one (OK, one person) was doing any hauling. When asked if the single gun collected made the whole effort worthwhile, Rev. Parker responded, “It’s been a success because of that one gun…if you get one gun off the street, that could mean eight lives” are saved. We’re guessing the good reverend is a half-full kinda guy.
