Ugh, meara. I'm sorry.

Oh, brenda. Oh, no. Hugs to you. I have seen news stories about various gun buy back programs that ultimately get them destroyed, but I don't know how to go about finding one when you have surprise guns to get rid of...

I tried googling that and within 5 minutes I was getting emails to my work email to buy assault weapons. So that was nice.

Dear lord. That's appalling.

I’m sure they’re worth a fair amount of money but I don’t want to sell them in any way that they remain in circulation. Especially not in fucking Wisconsin.

Maybe I can send them to Ukraine somehow? Otherwise I’ll just watch and wait for a buyback I guess. Ugh. In the meantime they’re filling up a shelf in the closet and I resent that!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Maybe try calling local police non-emergency line and asking them?

Yikes, y'all, that is A LOT of family drama to unpack. Best of luck to all of you.

I have heard of the sending to Ukraine thing happening but I have no idea how you'd do that either. Totally understand your resentment!

Here's a potential resource, and a buyback scheduled for August [link]

OK, I'm calling it a day, anyone emailing me after 4pm on Friday surely does not really expect a response.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I don’t know what to do with [them]

Handguns or shotguns or rifles?

First step, make sure they all have trigger locks or breech locks on them.

Handguns. Most of which are in cases that I’ve only opened to confirm that’s what’s in them.

Thanks -t. I could probably drive to Madison!

In other news, I was on the board for a rescue last year and it stressed me out like whoa so when they asked today if I would rejoin for next year I said “Love to!” SMH
