Letter: Add incentive for gun turn-in

The Columbian
Published: December 26, 2012, 4:00pm

Have we finally acknowledged guns kill and we, as a nation, are loaded with these killers?

How about an idea to help those who love their automatic weapons do something useful, maybe even patriotic? Gather up all your weapons. Bring them (shells, too) to your local Army/Navy/Air Force/Merchant Marine/police station and ask for a government-issued voucher to use come tax time as a tax-deductible donation. All gathered together, they could probably arm a whole rebel army that we want to win. Better yet, offer to tote your weapon to, let’s say Syria, and teach the rebel fighters how to use it.
