NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — A New Haven woman, determined to keep her own gun from getting into the wrong hands, sawed her weapon in two.

Former School Teacher Amanda Meyer told News 8 via Skype that she was moved to take action in the wake of the Florida school massacre.

“I had decided to do it before the Parkland shooting happened but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. And it was after that and reading the negativity on social media and realizing that I didn’t want to be part of that club anymore that finally drove me to do it,” she said.

Meyer says she plans to turn in her destroyed handgun to police on Tuesday.

Uh, she lives far to the left of 100 on the Bell Curve.
Ideal liberal journalist candidate.

Hopefully she consulted Randy Weaver before she took a hacksaw to a firearm.

Uh, a locked gun container or cabinet would do the trick too. And then you’d actually have the gun if someone broke into your house to rob or rape you.

Democrats have created a new fear. Fear of someone breaking into your home, killing you and stealing your gun to use in it a crime. For Democrats, fear sells

Maybe Remington won’t have to go bankrupt after all. The gun buyer that would have bought a used gun that is now destroyed will have to buy a new one.

She should saw herself in two so that she doesn’t have to “suffer” anymore....along with the rest of us. Another insane, moronic lib off it’s hinges.

If she is truly concerned about others she should saw her car in half, too.

I guess there was a no crime committed this week so we get this story.

Cash For Gun Clunkers? Oh, wait. They aren’t even offering cash?

I’d eat my weapon with a fork before I “gave” it to the government.

So, Ms. Meyer, how many kids have you killed with your handguns? That’s the only way to join the “club”.

She doesn’t realize that now a burglar will steal the halves and have two guns.

Sheep to the slaughter. If she’s that mentally ill, maybe she shouldn’t have a wespon.

Now the rapists, robbers and other scum knows not only who/where she is, but also that she is defenseless. Smart broad.

>>Meyer says she plans to turn in her destroyed handgun to police on Tuesday.

Hopefully, she barges into the police station and in that typical Progressive authoritarian SJW voice, announces loudly, “I have a gun!”

Yeah, but if that happens, then it's the police's fault for not protecting her adequately.

Unless the perp has a gun, then it's the NRA's fault. Or Donald Trump's. Or, possibly a Vast Right-Wing FReeper Conspiracy. Take your pick.

Anything to deflect responsibility.....
