    A corporation is a person. A fertilized ovum is a person. A gun is a person. ("You will give your rifle a girl's name.") A first-grader...not so much.

    If there's a state law stating that guns obtained via a gun buyback program cannot be destroyed then why do you think you're above the law and may have them destroyed? The ends *do not* justify the means. Note that I'm not saying the law necessarily makes sense. But there's a process for changing the law and you're expected to utilize it. You can't just reason "I don't like that law" and willfully ignore it. Just what kind of anarchy are you advocating?

    Are guns sacred to these people, or what? Shouldn't the owners of guns (the police, once they buy them) be able to do whatever they like with them? Including destroy them? Isn't that the basic premise of private property, upon which our entire society is based?

    Given that the fundamental purpose of a buyback is to permanently remove guns from circulation, reselling them is an obvious absurdity. It renders the whole project invalid. It doesn't matter if the gun is "illegal" or not. Every gun should be destroyed. There's no such thing as a keepsake when it can kill you. Honestly, when are you Yanks going to start using a little common sense?

    If you want to eat vegetables grown in sewage sludge, that is "OK" by me, but, people should have a choice. Apparently,now, we can assume all vegetables are grown in sewage sludge, unless labeled certified organic. People should buy accordingly. We need to grow our own vegetables. Many people have gotten sick from what used to be safe vegetables. One would think, that by 2013, we would have developed a good way of disposing of human waste. As far as most meat is concerned, people have to assume the animals have been fed, not only antibiotics and hormones, but, bits of animal parts, as well. I don't know what I'm getting, when I eat out ( not very often), but, I don't buy that stuff. Grass fed is all I buy. I have a fish card from foodandwaterwatch.org, that I go by for fish.
